• Para controlar a un pueblo, primero hay que controlar lo que piensa de sí mismo y cómo considera su historia y su cultura. Y cuando tu conquistador hace que te avergüences de tu cultura y tu historia, no necesita muros de prisión ni cadenas para retenerte.

• If you expect the present day school system to give history to you, you are dreaming. This, we have to do ourselves. The Chinese didn't go out in the world and beg people to teach Chinese studies or let them teach Chinese studies. The Japanese didn't do that either. People don't beg other people to restore their history; they do it themselves.

• La religión es la organización de la espiritualidad en algo que se convirtió en la doncella de mano de los conquistadores. Casi todas las religiones fueron traídas a la gente e impuestas por los conquistadores, y utilizadas como marco para controlar sus mentes.

• It is too often forgotten that when the Europeans gained enough maritime skills and gunpowder to conquer most of the world, they not only colonized the bulk of the world's people but they colonized the interpretation of history itself. Human history was rewritten to favor them at the expense of other people. The roots of modern racism can be traced to this conquest and colonization.

• Mi punto principal aquí es que si eres el hijo de Dios y Dios es una parte de ti, en tu imaginación Dios se supone que se parece a ti. Y cuando aceptas una imagen de la deidad asignada a ti por otra gente, te conviertes en prisionero espiritual de esa otra gente.

• La Historia no lo es todo, pero es un punto de partida. La Historia es un reloj que la gente utiliza para saber la hora de su vida política y cultural. Es una brújula que utilizan para situarse en el mapa de la geografía humana. Les dice dónde están pero, sobre todo, qué deben ser.

• Los africanos de Estados Unidos deben recordar que los barcos negreros no trajeron antillanos, caribeños, jamaicanos, trinitenses o barbadenses a este hemisferio. Los barcos negreros sólo trajeron africanos y la mayoría de nosotros tomamos la apariencia de nacionalidad de los lugares donde nos dejaron los barcos negreros.

• Nos han educado para creer en el concepto de deidad de otra persona, y en el estándar de belleza de otra persona. Tienes derecho a practicar cualquier religión y política de la forma que mejor se adapte a tu libertad, tu dignidad y tu comprensión. Y una vez que lo hagas, no pidas perdón.

• People get overwhelmed with folklore as fact. Take the Exodus. The Exodus did not occur. It could not have occurred. Wasn't necessary for it to occur. The Jews walked into Africa over a 16-mile land until they built the Suez Canal - that land is still there. Why would they have to leave by the sea. They didn't come by the sea. Certain people think you are against their religion when you use common sense.

• Our concept of beauty is taken from Hollywood, which is anti-black. We don't see ourselves as beautiful in most cases. Although we are naturally one of the most beautiful peoples out there, we don't see it. We don't get the point. Hollywood sets the standards.

• África y sus gentes son los pueblos sobre los que más se ha escrito y los menos comprendidos de todo el mundo. Esta situación comenzó en los siglos XV y XVI con el inicio del sistema de comercio de esclavos. Los europeos no sólo colonizaron la mayor parte del mundo, sino que empezaron a colonializar la información sobre el mundo y sus gentes.

• It is not uncommon for ignorant and corrupt men to falsely charge others with doing what they imagine that they themselves, in their narrow minds and experience, would have done under the circumstances of a given case, and the surest check, often the only check, on such perjury, is to recognize the impossibility that men of larger instruction and resources and experience could have been guilty of such conduct.
