What I want to know is how the white man, with the blood of black people dripping off his fingers, can have the audacity to be asking black people [why] they hate him?

I just don't believe that when people are being unjustly oppressed that they should let someone else set rules for them by which they can come out from under that oppression.

Anytime you tell a man to turn the other cheek or to be nonviolent in the face of a violent enemy, you're making that man defenseless. You're robbing him of his God-given right to defend himself.

The 22 million or 30 million, whatever the case may be, Afro-Americans in the United States were still Africans.

If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.

History is not hatred.

Power never takes a back step only in the face of more power.
