This book is the medicine the world desperately needs..., January 17, 2007
This review is from: We Ain't No Niggas! Exposing the Deception of YOUR World History Education (Paperback)
For this book to be published in the era of gangster novels, is nothing short of a miracle. Brother Cincere has such a passion for truth and justice, that his words literally jumps off the pages!.This book is packed with pictures that I have never seen in my life, and I have read tons of books. Did you know that their exsist money with African leaders stamped upon them? can you name one of them?. This is the type of information you just can't put a price on. I will go as far to say this is the most informative book on African history since the dawning of this new millennium. I know from Some where from on high Dr.Henry Clarke is looking down smiling. That's the highest complement I can pay. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks that's another lie. Cincere proves it.

Perspectives, February 27, 2007
This review is from: We Ain't No Niggas! Exposing the Deception of YOUR World History Education (Paperback)
In his book We Ain't No Niggas, N. Quamere Cincere maintains the fact that that all cultures have both the good and the negative aspects of their heritage. This is harder for African- Americans to realize due to being schooled in a system that chooses to ignore the part of history that puts them on equal footing with Europeans. Archeologists have proven that the earliest human remains were found in Africa. Does it not make sense that because the earliest human remains were found in Africa that the first civilization was built there?
History is defined as the discipline that records and interprets past events and more importantly a person's interpretation of events is subject to his perspectives, and the other culture is forced to view a one-sided explanation of events. Thus so, when you remind one culture of only the negative side of their history, but omit another culture's most heinous acts, you are cutting off the other societies clear-cut view of themselves.
N. Quamere Cincere shows how European egos are boosted by omitting that they had a long history laced with murder, incest, cannibalism, and homosexuality, but their story, the European perspective, has been cleaned up to make a more palatable perspective and to glorify their past. On the other hand, great African Civilizations such as that of, the great dynasty's of Medieval Mali, and the dynastic Nubian Kingdom of Pharaoh Menses, and the golden city of Timbuktu are left un-mentioned or billed as being mythical at best.
This book shows how omitting the negative aspects of certain cultures, makes these cultures look second-rate when you point out every negative aspect o f that culture. I enjoyed reading this book and have investigated certain aspects of it and I will continue to do so. This is a must read book so do a loved one a favor; buy them one and encourage them to teach their children. Both races , Black and White, will benefit from reading this book.

Lies Your Teachers Told You, February 12, 2007
This review is from: We Ain't No Niggas! Exposing the Deception of YOUR World History Education (Paperback)
Africa is the cradle of civilization. Period.
The attempts to obliterate the rich heritage of the grand cultures who set the foundation for math, the arts and sciences has been the criminal outgrowth of the Eurocentric formula of the (mis)education system and the devaluation of real history through lies and deceit.
And the unfortunate reality remains is the truth won't be found in the "mainstream" books in schools, bookstores and libraries. But the web of disinformation is coming undone, though we must get past the critics who bemoan about "revisionist history" and "pseudo-science." Remember, the Eurocentrics love to label things.
In an important book that is a guide to the truth, author N. Quamere Cincere immediately gets your attention before you turn any pages. He then - in a very readable layout - provides a solid foundation through guidance to uncovering the truth that has been buried for centuries.
Cincere's work is part of a growing library of publications that will return the birthplace of civilization to its proper place & time. Our streams to the truth begins with a light rain that quenches the parched ground. More rain will make a body of water - a lake - with tributaries moving away to bring needed nutrients to other lands.
Begin to drink from that pure water to cleanse the mind & soul. The true reality will then become clearer and clearer.
