There is only one enemy.
Sometimes he is inside,
but there is only one enemy.
He will show his face in many ways,
but there is only one enemy.
We have delusions of many enemies.
There is only one Afrikan.
There is only one God.
There is only one enemy.
The enemy of the Afrikan
is the enemy of the God in you.
There is no one who conquers
a man whose soul is connected
to the Almightly Creator.
There is no man who can take
the soul of another man.
National Shrine of Afrikans in America

"For the European to rule the world as he does today, or at least intimidate it as he does, contradictions must be a chronic part of the lives on non-European people . . . as well as that of the European. The imperialistic European must essentially function in a very devilish fashion. That is, in a fashion that uses deception as its major characteristic.
Consequently, fundamental values and ways of seeing reality must be reversed. The good must appear to be bad, the light dark. Truth must be taken for the lie; the lie for truth.
Otherwise a small group such as European people, could not continue to keep the rest of the world out of its mind."
Amos Wilson

"Our parents survived the Middle Passage; only the strong got here and then we lost our name, our culture, our religion, and we are still here. So you may have a momentary victory....but you don't know who we are. We are the children of Shaka Zulu, we are the children of Mary Mcleod Bethune, we are the children of Marcus Garvey, we are the children of Martin Luther King. We'll be here. We were first, and we'll be last, we know who we are!"

"To be unwilling or afraid to define and model morality for our children because it may make them different from the European norm, and therefore make their lives more difficult, is for Afrikans to react out of fear.
Morality, like fear, is a group, not individual definition and state. There are serious limitations to the ability to explain individual behavior outside the group complex. It would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to underestimate the impact of the group on the cultural socialization of an individual's decisions. Isolating particular individual choices, as if individuals developed their desires, skills and personalities in a vacuum and not families, groups and society, and whether intentional or not, ignores the social conditioning individuals go through that fits them into the culture. All people are socialized. It is a lifelong process.... Humans socialize humans...
People become who they are through interacting with others, conforming their behavior to a cultural standard. They are educated throught the rewards and punishmens applied by significant others. All societies and groups socialize their members to conform to their cultural personality.
And Europeans are the group of which we are defining our children's morality."

"These companies know that in today's society both husband and wife have to work to maintain the same standards of living that that we are used to, and the same standards our parents maintained as we grew up.
The average wife (or husband) simply does not have the time or energy to prepare the wholesome and nutritious meals they feel they should to feed the family. They must take shortcuts and look for ways to save time, energy and money to give the family the necessry meals required. The easiest way to do this is to purchase processed, refined and packaged foods.
Knowing this and trying to get your dollar, all food companies make their packaged foods look good, taste good, and maintain a long shelf life.
In order to accomplish this, they must remove many of the vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, all fiber, and other vital nutrients from the foods. They have to add color and taste enhancers, emulsifying agents, preservatives and many other additives to keep the foods looking good and preserving them. All these added chemicals are cations and dangerous to your health.
With some foods (like white breads) the U.S. Government requires that they add back 7 of the 23 nutrients removed. Most of the companies try to capitalize even on this by advertising that their product is 'enriched' with the 7 nutrients they added back, but they never mention the 16 other vital nutrients removed from the flour.
This fraud and deceit in my opinion is Food Companies trying to make us believe they are 'enriching' the product by adding back the previously removed nutrients."

"The question now is: What is the real distinction between these nations? Is it the physical differences of blood, color and cranial measurements?............. But while race differences have followed mainly physical race lines, yet no mere physical distinctions would really define or explain the deeper differences -- the cohesiveness and continuity of these groups. The deeper differences are spiritual, psychical, differences -- undoubtedly based on the physical, but infinitely transcending them.

Pan" movements are not new in the world. These movements existed long before the use of the preface 'Pan' was a part of a groups' organizational name. Any movement to recover or reclaim its history, culture or national identity after war or migration - forced or otherwise - can be called a 'Pan' movement.
This makes the concept of Pan Africanism very simple.
The word 'pan' means all. And when used with Africa, it means all African people wherever they are on the face of this earth.'
'Other people have no problem with this concept. A Chinese can be in America five generations, you ask him what he is, he will say "I am Chinese." He has not lost the sense of his historical origins.
We have become confused about our direction, our place in the world and our historical origins, and we see becoming part of somebody else's thing as our best and only hope. If we understood our origins and Africa's place in human history, we would take our African frame of mind with us wherever we go in this world. This is the essence of Pan Africanism.'

"We must realize that they established this racist white supremacy position through years and years of brainwashing techniques, through missionary work and other scheming techniques. It has taken them upward of some 500 years to gain control of our people's minds.
What we must understand is that if they could do it, we can do it, we don't have any other choice, our task is to raise the level of consciousness of Afrikans world wide, in other words undo what the white man has done, so that we will not have members of the Afrikan family who belong to that dead living group."

"Now when the Haitians won their independence one of the first things that they tried to do was to look towards West Africa because the slave trade was still going on in West Africa and the Haitians wanted to send an army from Haiti to West Africa to try to stop the slave trade at its source right here in West Africa.
So here again you have something very Pan African, here were rebellious revolutionary Africans in the Caribbean and it was not sufficient for them to win their independence but they had a Pan African element meaning they wanted to use their independence to end the slave trade in their African homeland also."

In Memory of our Ancestors
Who are you?
You don’t know. Don’t tell me Negro, that’s nothing.
What were you before the white man named you a Negro?
And where were you?
And what did you have?
What was yours?
What language did you speak then?
What was your name?
It couldn’t have been Smith or Jones or Bunch?? or Powell.
That wasn’t your name. They don’t have those kind of names where you and I came from.
No. What was your name? And why don’t you now know what your name was then?
Where did it go?
Where did you lose it?
Who took it?
And how did he take it?
What tongue did you speak? How did the man take your tongue?
Where is your history? How did the man wipe out your history?
How did the man, what did the man do to make you as dumb as you are right now?
Malcolm X

In Memory of our Ancestors "Having a memory that is whole and complete as an African person means having a complex and critical understanding of the Great Suffering, or Maafa. Just as a person with amnesia is doomed to walk around confused about who he is she is, where they have come from, where they are headed and the nature of their relationships with others, so too is the African who does not know, memorialize and understand the Great Suffering."

In Memory of our Ancestors
"If you are the son of a man who had a wealthy estate and you inherit your father's estate, you have to pay off the debts that your father incurred before he died. The only reason that the present generation of white Americans are in a position of economic strength is because their fathers worked our fathers for over 400 years with no pay
We were sold from plantation to plantation like you sell a horse, or a cow, or a chicken, or a bushel of wheat
All that money is what gives the present generation of American whites the ability to walk around the earth with their chest out . . . like they have some kind of economic ingenuity. Your father isn't here to pay. My father isn't here to collect. But I'm here to collect, and you're here to pay."

Postcard depicting the lynching of Lige Daniels, Center, Texas, USA, August 3, 1920. The back reads, "This was made in the court yard in Center, Texas. He is a 16 year old Black boy. He killed Earl's grandma. She was Florence's mother. Give this to Bud. From Aunt Myrtle." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching
"It makes no sense for Africans to believe that we continue to pay a price for the sins of Adam and Eve, who lived over 4,000 years ago, and yet we are unaffected by the actions of slave traders who lived less than 150 years ago."

In Memory of our Ancestors
"To a significant degree Afrikan Americans accept and obey predominant White American power and its authorities (at least from social-psychological standpoint) because they agree with the rules of their establishment and expression as defined by White Americans; share with White Americans the moral, legal, and other values and perspectives which justify them; and to some extent (limited and of recent origin) because they, i.e., Blacks, have been permitted by White Americans to participate in political and social processes by which White power is given legitimacy.
To a limited degree, Afrikan Americans have been permitted access to certain positions of competent and legitimate authority. These factors contribute mightily to their acceptance of White American power (domination) and the White American monopoly of positions of authority as legitimate.
These forms of giving consent to the social power status quo on the part of Blacks help to obscure as well as deny the fact that they are in fact a dominated and severely exploited group (regardless of class); and helps to obscure the fact that their uncritical acceptance of the 'rules,' moral beliefs, perspectives, and their customary-traditional participation in the 'American (White) political-economic process and system is tantamount to the legitimating of their own oppression and to the consensual ensurance of their own powerlessness.
Rules, beliefs and consent are manufactured by those in power to justify, legitimate and serve their interests. In its origins White American power was not legitimated (i.e., voluntarily or contractually consented to, morally justified or politically-socially ratified) by Afrikan Americans who at the time of its origination were held in captivity (slavery) and to this point in time have been largely excluded from significantly participating in American legitimating processes.
From the historical point of view of Native and Afrikan Americans, White power, in whatever form, is illegitimate. This is because such power rests essentially on the near physical and genocidal decimation of Native Americans, the theft of their properties, on the exploitation or forced labor (enslavement) of Afrikans, and on the systematic exclusion by Whites of both Black and Native Americans from the influential exercise of practically all forms of 'legitimate' power and authority in the United States.
The rules and beliefs which provide the means for legitimating White power were in fact pre-established, preordained and imposed on Blacks against their will by Whites from the beginning. The illegitimacy of White American power is founded on the illegitimacy of its original sins--genocide, theft of property, and enslavement."

In Memory of our Ancestors "We came here proud, strong, beautiful Afrikans. We came here with a culture, with pride, We came here knowing who We were. We came here an intelligent, sensitive people, who fought and struggled on every level from the moment that We were brought here in chains. We have got to realize who We are and We've got to realize that we've got a tradition to carry on."

In Memory of our Ancestors
The psychological damage of the TransAtlantic Slave Trade is incalculable throughout the African world. Words such as “Black Holocaust� are inadequate in their attempt to describe what happened (is happening) to Africans whose ancestors were victims of enslavement, colonialism, cultural theft and exploitation. In an attempt to describe this horrific experience, Marimba Ani, author of Let the Circle Be Unbroken offers the Kiswahili term Maafa to emphasize the continuing impact of enslavement on African people’s thought patterns and behavior. Joyce DeGruy Leary coined the phrase “Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome� which also describes this impact. Black psychologists such as Wade Nobles, Naim Akbar, Linda James Myers and others have long seen the connection between the damages of slavery and current behaviors in Black communities. Self-hatred, conspicuous consumption, the “dozens�, skin color preferences and many other pathologies are deeply embedded among Africans who fail to make the connection between history and current
behavior.
In this sense, the struggle for reparations is not only economic but psychological as well.
This ‘repairing of the mind� from the “chains of psychological slavery� is as important and perhaps even more so than the reception of compensation for the damages of enslavem ent. This “internal repair� is a vital step and should be recognized as such by Black psychologists who work with children, adults and institutions. At the heart of his or her career, the Black psychologist should find it obligatory to repair the damage done by institutions and individuals who are the heirs of white supremacist notions that enslaved Africans both physically and psychologically.
This repair process often needs to move beyond the classroom and the therapy session and become overtly political since white supremacist systems continue the legacy of damaging African people."
Raymond A. Winbush

In Memory of our Ancestors
"The American system of deculturalization has been an extremely effective process. It has successfully brain-washed the majority of African Americans to accept the dominance of Europeans and European institutions over their lives. History teaches us that African prisoners of war (POWs) were subjected to a vicious, European-orchestrated, three to four years of seasoning during which the most important expressions of their African heritage were brutally stripped away from them and brutally replaced with the European colonizer-slave master-oppressor’s cultural practices and beliefs.
Africans enslaved in the North American British colonies, for example, were forbidden to use their original African names, languages and religions. They were forced to use their European colonizer-slave master-oppressor’s names, language and religion. This is why most Africans born in the United States have European surnames, speak English and practice some form of Christianity. Slavery imposed these European cultural practices on their African ancestors and their descendants blindly continue them unless they take steps to open their eyes to and free their minds of all remnants of European slavery.
Both Boateng (1990) and Spring (1997) identified the public school as a major agent of African American deculturalization (brain-washing). I agree; however, I would add that nearly all American educational institutions – Black, White, public, private, day care to college – must be placed along side the public schools as agents of deculturalization. In fact, no aspect of American education is free of this curse except the African centered independent school whose sole mission if it is functioning properly is to decolonize or re-Africanize Black students and their families."

"How is fear acquired by brainwashed people? Fear is not natural, it is taught and learned in human beings. Of all the learned motives, none has greater implications for personality development and functioning than fear and anxiety. Fear is learned when people are repeatedly punished, frightened, hurt, or killed when they encounter a situation or enter an area that is forbidden.
After encountering a fear situation enough times, a person will be afraid when the feared object is no longer threatening.
Fear is also learned from observations, that is social learning without any direct punishment or threats. A person will behave in consistently fearful manners in situations where behaviors are expected to lead to punishment.
In other words, people become afraid when they observe other people like them are afraid of something or somebody. Their fear is passed on like a disease."

In Memory of our Ancestors
"The greatest mistake of the movement has been trying to organize sleeping people around specific goals. You have to wake the people up . . . to their humanity, to their own worth, and to their heritage.
