This brother has the mind of a genius!!! Ive watch almost every interview that he has given on youtube.

All what he's saying is there is hell of work to be done. Blacks have to sacrifice time, money. lives for us to go through. They've done their path.

I just hope Blacks stop asking questions and face them selves face to face intellectually no matter their Ideas of level.

50% of the problem will be gone if blacks can educate them selves to start listening to them selves instead to others.

I'm just happy I came to know him and many others. They took me slowly out of the darkness.

Infinite Thanks.
