The white woman has never had the co-equal status that the African woman has had.

In the African matrilineal society, the lineage of the bloodline comes down through the female side. The Arabs who invaded East Africa and other parts of Africa reversed it to the patrilineal where everything comes down through the male side and the woman has no basic rights except that which the male is willing to grant her.

I believe in spirituality, which is out there.

The role of religions in the domination and destruction of African civilizations was ruthless... Islam was as guilty as all the rest.

The impact of racism has changed our look at ourselves because basically racism was meant to make us look unfaithfully at ourselves, and to not treasure our institutions.

Anytime you turn on your own concept of God, you are no longer a free man. No one needs to put chains on your body, because the chains are on your mind.

I think that Jesus-dependency has taken over our minds, and too many of our institutions.
