I'm one of the people who believes that our losses were greater than our gains. Because before the Civil Rights movement we had entrepreneurship in the black community. Right now, in Harlem, if I wanted to get a shoe repaired, I would have a hard time finding a black shoe repairman. On near about every third corner, you could find a decent black barber, decent black laundry, had restaurants in the neighborhood that were open 24 hours. The food was good at 3 o'clock in the morning as at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Europeans not only colonized most of the world, they colonized information about the world.

Break all the TVs, burn all the Bibles.

Nothing the European mind ever devised was meant to do anything but to facilitate the European's control over the world.

Educating a child won't be difficult if you get through to the parent.

Africa and its people are the most written about and the least understood of all of the world's people. This condition started in the 15th and the 16th centuries with the beginning of the slave trade system. The Europeans not only colonialized most of the world, they began to colonialize information about the world and its people.

I attended a Baptist church as a child and was an avid reader starting with the Bible.
