I deeply appreciate the Father (Allah/Clarence 13X/Put/Puddin) and what he brought to the world in the Nation of Gods and Earths, however I could never get into the whole button rocking, t-shirt with his face on it aspect. The Universal flag is peace. It’s beautifully attractive and speaks volumes that echo for eons. I’ll rock that anytime. But a button with the father’s face on it just seems religious. For example, when he was physically alive do you think people wore buttons with his face on them? I doubt it very highly. As far as I know Allah IS very much still alive, yet many people wear and will continue to don “Father-wear”..Interesting, right?. Personally, I think it kinda cheapens what we’re about. Now, don’t get me wrong I don’t have anything against NGE centric fashion at all, however every practice reflects a principle, and I wouldn’t want people to use NGE to shade in an already laid template of wrong foods with right colors, meaning we shouldn’t be reduced to the religious based criteria because this ain’t no religion. We shouldn’t determine our identity in spite of other entities that already exist (i.e.: the flag ain’t our version of a crucifix, so The Father shouldn’t be our version of Jesus/Muhammad)…Plus, what about all the other Great Gods and Earths that built this nation? Why they don’t get a button or a shirt? ..Sike naw, for real, though, what we do should be bigger than that and it should be centered on us completely. We are universal. So we should express this culture in universal means. Dig it?

On a side note, I never liked crowns..You know, crowns, the head adornment that looks like a kufi with a tassel on it? I NEVER liked them jawns, yo.. I can’t help but think that they were designed to separate us from Muslims, while still showing our relation to Islam..Which is like an oxymoron or something, right? If we left the poor part for the devil, then they in turn give us the scraps from that..What part would that be? This is basically what we do by carrying those types of practices while striving to be “just and true,” with “no unrighteousness” in us. Now wait, “The Earth belongs to the Original man”, so if the button is ya twist, do it ta death..If the crowns is ya s**t, let ya tassel swing. I’m just voicing my angle on it. Do it cuz you generally like it, not cuz you think this what we “sposed” to do/look like..Don’t think if you don’t rock buttons and crowns you’re any less God than any other brother..File that with the people who think they’ll get more blessings because of how long their beard is and the people who time how long it takes them to quote 120..I say “The Original man is God, yet God is more than just an Original man” meaning we must be “In it, not of it”..We should be able to speak the language of the uncivilized and identify ourselves amongst them due to where we emerged from, however, we(civilized people, also Muslims, and Muslim Sons)must always maintain the capacity to rise and shine that undeniable light to every inch of space if need be in order born truth..
