We are a conquered race and it is utterly foolish for us to believe that we are independent. The Black Race depends on other communities for its culture, its language, its feeding, and its clothing.

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.
