Africans in the United States must remember that the slave ships brought no West Indians, no Caribbeans, no Jamaicans or Trinidadians or Barbadians to this hemisphere. The slave ships brought only African people and most of us took the semblance of nationality from the places where slave ships dropped us off.

We have different levels of slavery. We've got educational slavery. All the major religions of the world, even Christianity and Islam, are engaged in some form of servitude of people. I don't look favorably on either one although I think properly practiced all religions are basically good.

In Africa, the woman was co-equal. In Europe, the woman was a vassal. To some extent, she still is.

To be black and beautiful means nothing in this world unless we are black and powerful.

Man's most intelligent age may have gotten lost in history.

The first light of human consciousness and the world's first civilizations were in Africa.

Whoever is in control of the hell in your life, is your devil.
