We have as little today than when most of the African countries received independence from their colonial masters.

Africans have a stance, 'live for today, let tomorrow take care of itself and be damned' attitude.

Capitalist Nigger (2000)

We must abandon the victim mentality baggage that we've carried for so long: the notion that somebody owes us something.

It is not what you call me, but what I answer to, that matters most.

We've got to stop whining and stop begging. The Black race needs to wake up and stand on it's own feet.
