Also, as mentioned previously the words in Luke and Matthew appear to be fallacies that these authors made in creating a godhead in him similar to the sonship of God, for which there were no witnesses during his life there in Palestine. In this we are sane in that we know it is not an original concept associated with him, as it was unknown to John and apparently to Mark as well. We know something as significant as the birth of him would have been known to all the
“Two plus two is four,” my kindergarten teacher told us. At one point, our young, curious kindergarten minds will ask ourselves “is two plus two really four?” We will find out sooner or later, perhaps after a receiving some derision from our classmates or teachers, that two plus two in fact equals four.

This is because he fails to fit within either of the two, despite his close relationship with life in London and the Caribbean, the previous edge and the hub of the earlier colonial tools. For Singh, nevertheless, who deemed that “the initial necessity for satisfaction was to be born inside a famous town” [7], the bad luck “to be brought up on
culture in general, may be researched by a lot of researchers but I still get the impression that its roots are badly overlooked. Pop culture isn’t only an entertainment but it has some great depth into it that makes it worth learning the subject. In my thesis, I want to give more attention to the development of the African-American culture throughout all these years from the very beginning. How only one race can make a significant changes, not only in their own nation but in the country they’ve been
