"Therefore, the obvious question is why are we so cowardly when we
must fight white supremacy, yet so fierce when fighting for white
supremacy?....we've died more in their behalf than in our own."

Del Jones
The Black Holocaust

"In the fight to reach the top the oppressed have always been
encumbered by the traitors of their own race, made up of those of
little faith and those who are generally susceptible to bribery for
the selling out of the rights of their own people.
  As Negroes, we are not entirely free of such an encumbrance.  To
be outspoken, I believe we are more encumbered in this way than any
other race in the world, because of the lack of training and
perparation for fitting us for our place in the world among nations
and races.
  The traitor of other races is generally confined to the mediocre
or irresponsible individual, but, unfortunately, the traitors among
the Negro race are generally to be found among the men highest
placed in education and society, the fellows who call themselves
leaders.
  For us to examine ourselves thoroughly as a people we will find
that we have more traitors than leaders, because nearly everyone who
essays to lead the race at this time does so by first establishing
himself as the pet of some philanthropist or another race, to whom
he will go and debase his race in the worst form, humiliate his own
manhood, and thereby win the sympathy of the 'great benefactor,' who
will dictate to him what he should do in the leadership of the Negro
race....The man who will compromise the attitude of his country is a
traitor, and even so the man who will compromise the rights of his
race can be classified in no other way than that of a traitor also.
  Not until we settle down as four hundred million people and let
the men who have placed themselves in the lead of us realize that we
are disgusted and dissatisfied, and that we shall have a leadership
of our own and stick by it when we get it, will we be able to lift
ourselves from this mire of degradation to the heights of
prosperity, human liberty and human appreciation."

Marcus Garvey
The Philosophy & Opinions of Marcus Garvey

"A culture with such neuroses is not a culture that will leave the
rest of us alone unless we compel it to.  We cannot expect the West
to cure itself of its neuroses until it ceases to profit by them. 
Our duty to ourselves, as prime victims of these neuroses, is to see
to it that the West ceases to profit by them.  Which means that we
must deny the West the benefits of its hegemony."

Chinweizu
The West and the rest of us

"If someone commits a crime there is a great punishment.  But if an
elder commits a crime then the punishment is even greater."

Wofa Kwasi Odaaku

"To be ignorant of history is to be ignorant of what you are trying
to do now.  History will show you where we have been, how we arrived
where we are, whether we have traveled the best routes, and it will
indicate -- if we pause to reflect long enough -- the best route to
travel on from this point in time."

Chancellor Williams

"When the leaders are wise, so are the people."

Malagasy (Afrikan) Proverb

"The cause of this insanity is in fact a disruption in the natural,
harmonious relationship between the spiritual, material, conceptual,
affective and connotative aspects of Black psycho-social and
geophysical reality.  One consequence of this disruption is a
perceptual and emotional distortion.  For example, insane Blacks
deny their self and kind.  Consequently, a Black who kills another
Black does not realize his act is suicide and not homocide.  Another
consequence of this disruption is cognitive and political
confusion.  Here we find insane Black people deifying White people
and dehumanizing Black people.  Conceptually, Whites are viewed by
insane Blacks as omnipotent and superior.  Here we find Black people
also denying our commonality and epitomizing our individuality. 
Politically, insane Black people believe that we should not unite,
affirm and protect our own....As long as Black people respond to and
accept (without question) White reality we will never be able to
see, think, feel and act in a fashion that affirms and protects our
being."
