" Telling the truth about the accomplishments of black Africans is not an insult but it is an insult to those who are Anti-Africans ",  
" We can only be united when another human race teaches their race to respect the accomplishments and establishment of the black African race. Because the Western world globally teaches hatred against the black African race, 100% we will never be united. The Western world is the lack of social competence and social intelligence. The Western world alongside Arabs and the Asian world can never be united with black African people. Nothing good can come from the anti-social so-called civilizations,"
 
" The titles of the music songs are factual, historically and come from references and sources of established books "... 
 
                           
                            All these sentences are the result of my own research.

" The culture that is based on hatred of Black African culture, history, and civilizations is not civilized social culture. In addition, there is no argument because nothing good is coming from mine of not social and not civilized culture "...
