      The question you must ask yourself is why someone celebrating their black culture trigger you so much? We should be silent and controlled because you're triggered? Help me understand your anger. This is OBVIOUSLY the sound of Alkebeulan (Africa) yet you're here enjoying it but MONITORING the comments making sure we black people stay in our place.
