• White people's fear of Black people with guns will never cease to amaze me. Probably it's because they think about what they would do were they in our place. Especially the police, who have done so much dirt to Black people - their guilty conscience tells them to be afraid. When Black people seriously organize and take up arms to fight for our liberation, there will be a lot of white people who will drop dead from no other reason than their own guilt and fear.

• Odio la guerra y odio tener que luchar. Sinceramente, lo hago porque ojalá hubiera nacido en un mundo en el que no fuera necesario. Este contexto de lucha y de ser un guerrero y un luchador me ha sido impuesto por la opresión. De lo contrario, sería escultor, jardinero, carpintero... Supongo que parte de mí, de lo que soy, de lo que hago, es ser un guerrero, un guerrero reticente, un luchador reticente. Pero lo hago, porque estoy comprometido con la vida.

• Any community seriously concerned with its own freedom has to be concerned about other people's freedom as well. The victory of oppressed people anywhere in the world is a victory for Black people. Each time one of imperialism's tentacles is cut off we are closer to liberation.

• The usual way the people are taught to think in amerika is that each subject is in a little compartment and has no relation to any other subject. For the most part, we receive fragments of unrelated knowledge, and our education follows no logical format or pattern. It is exactly this kind of education that produces people who don’t have the ability to think for themselves and who are easily manipulated.
