I posted a few posts and I was castigated for using quotes from my hero like Brother Omowale and Marcus Garvey so I would like give a few quotes since it is African History Month and I suppose no one can complain now:-
Please feel free to add any quotes words of wisdom from Afrikan people. Something mama said, something you heard that inspired you. If want to give an explanation for the quote then feel free.
I do not want to hear nothing from no Arab, Cracker or any other devil, we hear what they have to say every single day. Within this western decadence call the UK which I live you need some words to carry you through when the weight of white supremacy is burdening your back
1. “Being baptized into Christianity was surrendering your soul and body, not to Christ, but to the white man. A prisoners-of-war and the church were one and the same�. – Queen Nzinga Mbandi (1582 - 1663)
2. The Family is an Army – Akan Proverb
3. “With our tires and our matches we will liberate this country� – Queen Winne Mandela
4. "The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness� – Marcus Moziah Garvey
5. “The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed� - Steve Biko
6. “All of us may not live to see the higher accomplishment of an African Empire—so strong and powerful, as to compel the respect of mankind, but we in our life-time can so work and act as to make the dream a possibility within another generation.� - Marcus Moziah Garvey
7. “Stand on your own two black feet and fight like hell for your place in the world.� – Amy Jacques Garvey
8. “For over three hundred years the white man has been our oppressor, and he naturally is not going to liberate us to the higher freedom—the truer liberty—the truer Democracy. We have to liberate ourselves.� - Marcus Moziah Garvey
9. He who is ruled by his appetite belong to the enemy – Ptah Hotep (Ancient Afrikan wisdom)
I would like to leave you with a special quote and it is from someone who spent more than 16 years studying for a two volume book and one of his conclusion are as followed:-
“The necessary re-education of Afrikans and a possible solution of racial crisis can begin, strangely enough, only when Afrikans fully realize this central fact in their lives: the white man is their bitter enemy. This is not the ranting of wild-eyed militancy, but the calm and unmistakeable verdict of several thousand years of documented history."
DR. CHANCELLOR JAMES WILLIAMS (1898-1992) Historian
This is the conclusion an historian who conducted field studies covering 26 nations in West, Central, East and Southern Africa, researching some 105 different societies and language groups the results are documented in
The Destruction of Black Civilization--Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D.

Derrick_Kerr,
I like the proverb " A tree cannot grow without it's roots". That definately agree with that. If you don't have a good ,solid family, you're not going to have good relationships with other people in and out of the family unit.--I'm not sure of the direct orator of this saying, but I read it in KINSHIP by the late Phillipe Wamba said it from his an African proverb he was taught from his African side of the family.

I would like to leave behind me the conviction that if we maintain a certain amount of caution and organization we deserve victory... You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future.
Thomas Sankara, 1985

"In this effort to imitate, however, these 'educated people' are sincere. They hope to make the Negro conform quickly to the standard of the whites and thus remove the pretext for the barriers between the races. They do not realize, however, that even if the Negroes do successfuly imitate the whites, nothing new has thereby been accomplished...an unwilling world, therefore, continues to wonder what the Negro is good for."

"When you control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his actions. You do not have to tell him not to stand here or go yonder. He will find his 'proper place' and will stay in it. You do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one for his special benefit. His education makes it necessary."

"'Most highly educated' negroes pay little attention to the things about them except what the shoe begins to pinch on one or the other side. Unless they happen to become naked they never think of the production of cotton or wool; unless they get hungry they never give any thought to the output of wheat or corn; unless their friends lose their jobs they never inquire about the outlook for coal or steel, or how these things affect the children whom they are trying to teach...How can such persons guide the youth without knowing how these things affect the Negro community?"

"If we can finally succeed in translating the idea of leadership into that of service, we may soon find it possible to lift the Negro to a higher level. Under leadership we have come into the ghetto; by service within the ranks we may work our way out of it...Under leadership we have been made to despise our own possibilities and to develop into parasites; by service we may prove sufficient unto the task of self-development and contribute our part to modern culture."

"Do no get into a quarrel with the argumentative man
Nor incite him with words;
Proceed cautiously before an opponent,
And give way to an adversary;
Sleep on it before speaking,
For a storm come forth like fire in hay is,
The hot-headed man in his appointed time.
May you be restrained before him;
Leave him to himself,
And God will know how to answer him.
If you spend your life with these things in your heart,
Your children shall observe them."
~Amenhotep III, Pharaoh in the 18th Dynasty of Kemet

"Negro...religion is merely a loan from the whites who have enslaved and segregated the Negroes; and the organization, though largely an independent Negro institution, is dominated by the thought of the oppressors of the race...
In chameleon-like fashion the Negro has taken up almost everything religious which has come along instead of thinking for himself. The English split off from the Catholics because Henry VIII had difficulty in getting sanction from the Church to satisfy his lust for amorous women, and Negroes went with this ilk, singing "God save the King." Others later said the thing necessary is baptism by immersion; and the Negroes joined them as Baptists. Another circle of promoters next said we must have a new method of doing things and we shall call ourselves Methodists; and the Negroes, then embraced that faith...
For example, in 30 of the 213 religious bodies reported in 1926 were exclusively Negro...
In other words, Negroes have gone into practically all sects established by the whites; and in addition to these, they have established 30 of their own to give the system further complication and subdivision...
All of the Negro Methodists in the world, if united, would not need more than 12 bishops, and these would have time to direct the affairs of both Methodists and Baptists in a united church. There is no need for 3 or 4 bishops, each teaching the same faith and practice while duplicating the work of the other in the same area merely because a long time ago somebody following the ignorant oppressors of the race in these churches committed the sin of dissension and strife. For all of this unnecessary expense impoverished Negroes have to pay."
"It is very clear, then, that if Negroes got their conception of religion from slaveholders, libertines, and murderers, there may be something wrong about it, and it would not hurt to investigate it."

This is what has been lost in many of our homes children talking while grown folk are talking, If I ever try that while my parent were around they would make me know which god I was serving.

This is Carter G, Woodson at his utmost best.
This goes out to especially the movie producers and directors they make their so called black movie and turn all the character into pimps and hustlers and clowns and boot licking negroes. whites don’t even have to worry what type of movies they are going to make, these fools are on automatic systematic remote control.
A few more to keep the fire blazing
“To manipulate history is to manipulate consciousness; to manipulate consciousness is to manipulate possibility and to manipulate possibility is to manipulate power� - Amos N Wilson
“Power is the ability to define reality and have other people responds to your definition as if it were their own� – Wade Noble
“Black Children are our most valuable possession and our greatest potential resource.� - Francis Cress Welsing - Child Psychiatrist
“I freed thousands of slaves. I could have freed thousands more if they had known they were slaves� - Harriet Tubman
These two are very special to Baba D
“The negro pays for what he wants and begs for what he needs�. – Kelly Miller
“Black people who want above all things not to be black are the most pitiable and comical people in the world� – Poet Gwendolyn Brooks
And for those who seek to live by the path of lease resistance meaning a life without some struggle I give this:-
“If your part of the battle-field is covered with thorns, you do not leave your position and go to stand where the ground is good� – Akan Proverb
A message for those who believes His Excellency Robert G Mugabe should capitulate and allow Zimbabwe to be re-colonised I say this:-
“We would prefer liberty in poverty than opulence in slavery� - Ahmed Sekou Toure the first President of Guinea
I leave you with the eternal word from Dr Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah… “It is far better to be free to govern or misgovern yourself than to be governed by anybody else�

"Freedom is not handed down from one generation to another. Each generation must assume the responsibility of securing their manhood, their womanhood, and their definition of their being on earth. Until we accept the full responsibility of our freedom, until we house ourselves, feed ourselves, and clothe ourselves, we will not be free. That, in the final analysis, is nationhood."
Dr. John Henrik Clarke

"For freedom is not a commodity which is 'given' to the enslaved upon
demand. It is a precious reward, the shining trophy of struggle and
sacrifice. Nor do the struggle and sacrifice cease with the attainment
of freedom. The period of servitude leaves behind tolls beyond what it
has already taken."

Happy New Year All,
Glad to see the site back - and by any means necessary.
Below are some great quotes by MLK on first link. On right-hand side is the quotation's index.
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art10220.asp
The next link has some great African proverbs - which I adore, indeed.
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/af-prov2.htm
http://cogweb.ucla.edu/Discourse/Proverbs/African.html
Black is not a color....
Black is an attitude......
The same with White:
White is not a color....
White is an attitude...
Whether or not either attitude is positive, negative, arrogant,
condescending, uplifting, inspiring, or neutral is determined by the INDIVIDUAL.
Malcolm X said:

"Powerful people never educate the victims of their power in how to take their power away from them....the ideology of our former slave masters cannot save us.
We will not be truly liberated until we are the main instruments of our liberation. The liberation that I am mainly concerned with here is the liberation of our minds from being dependent on other people to do our thinking."
John Henrik Clarke

Generally, the victims of a system of oppression have no alternative other than to accept blindly the patterns of symbols, logic, thought, speech, emotional responses and perceptions that are imposed forcefully upon them by their oppressors.
After hundreds of years of oppression, the oppressed, having lost the sense of their own identity, begin to believe that the brain-products of their oppressors are one and the same with their own, failing completely to realize that they did not control their own brain-computers nor their brain-computers' output.
The slave's fate is not to see nor reason why, but only to do or die.
However, the process of liberation is one wherein the oppressed begin to clearly distinguish their perceptions, logic and thought processes from the oppressors'.
The oppressed, then, begin to respect and validate their perceptions and their logic and thought processes, realizing fully that they can never free themselves with the thought processes and perceptions that were a part of the process of their enslavement."
Francis Cress Welsing

If we accept the emasculation theory, we must accept a host of out-rageous misrepresentations of the Black personality. We must accept the quaint Southern myth that most slaves were 'good N****rs' who passively accepted their lot, the companion theory being that slavery was not really so bad.
We must accept most of the stereotypes that have been paraded before us down through the ages, as, for example, William Styron's Nat Turner. But we cannot accept Styron's Nat Turner, and why?
Because any fool knows that eunuchs, figurative or actual, do not lead slave revolts.
Eunuchs do not write plays that pulverize the very foundations of American theater.
Eunuchs do not refuse to fight in unholy wars, thumbing their noses at trophies and fame, to achieve which some men sell their souls.
Eunuchs only to the bidding of the king.
Such acts of defiance as these are wrought by men in the name of all Black people.
Jean Carey Bond and Patricia Peery

I don't want nothing from the white man.
I don't want to be a senator.
I don't want to be in the house of representatives.
I don't want to be a city councilman.
I don't want to work in corporate amerika.
I don't want no grant.
I don't want him to finance me.
I don't want him to fund me.
"All I want to do is just give him hell, all the days of my life. That's all I want to is just give him hell, all the days of my life."

The Africans living in the Westen Hemisphere should be sensitive to the fact that the slaves ships coming from Africa to the so called new world brought no West Indians, no black Americans, no South Americans. They brought African people who had to adjust to the conditions where the slave ships put them down. It is by sheer accident that some Africans away from home are called jamaicans, some Trinidadians, Barbadians and some called African Americans. They are all African people reacting to different forms of oppression.

Black people are the only group of people, ethnic
or racial, that has consistently sought to integrate
and continues to seek integration, though white
society has repeatedly rejected them....
The reality of integration is that the integrating group loses all self-determination, since all plans and goals must be
processed through and approved by the dominant society
into which the minority group is integrating....
Integration and equal opportunity are grounded in the belief that dominant white society will voluntarily share power with blacks.
Power is rarely shared, especially between competitive groups.
Power holders have no desire for equality.

Humanitarian Disease
Significantly, most African peoples, regardless of their locations in the world, have Humanitarian Disease. By this term I mean that they, generally, are overly helpful and trusting of outsiders and foreigners -- especially white people.
Humanitarian Disease is learned behavior. It becomes 'diseased' when Africans provide more cooperation, and demonstrate more unity with other races -- especially white people --, than to other African people.
It was, and still is, this learned African psychological and cultural personality characteristic that lead to our enslavement in America.
It also accounts for the betrayals of our African liberation warriors (female and male) today."

@Drunkmonkey, my southern Brother, special request, just for you:
The situation in South Africa is a fraud, a fake, if they had the elections tomorrow and if Nelson Mandela became president, there would be no change because whites would still control 87% of the land, the airports, the mineral wealth of the country.
You can only have an alliance between equals. ...
Why do we keep lying to ourselves and think that we can gain freedom without hurting anybody; everybody else in the world had to do it."
Dr. John Henrik Clarke

"...[W]e are at war; that this is a war of two irreconcilable realities; that there is no possibility of coexistence. One does not coexist with her mother's rapist as she raises her daughters to womanhood, nor with his father's murderer as the assailant brazenly cleans and polishes his weapons.
What about the good white people?
Do the sins of the father transfer to the son?
YES!!
The son is the father. The daughter is the mother. The children are the parents, the grandparents, the very progenitors of the racial-phylogenetic-phenotypic-cultural type.
These children are their own 'Adams and Eves.' This is figuratively true, spiritually true, morally and legally true, and biogenitically true.
These white sons and daughters who continue to despoil and desacrelize the world are the same Ashur-banipal,
Cambyses, Ptolmies, Ceasars, Muhammad Alis and
Napoleons who ravaged the temples and shrines of KMT,
lay false claims to a knowledge denuded of its
spiritual context and later denied the historicity and
humanity of Afrika and enslaved its people.
These are the Cecil Rhodes, the Leopolds, the Victorias and
Grand Dragons.
This is the enemy.
The frequently brandished argument of universal humanity, global village, and 'good white people' is a logical ruse that aims to subvert the plainly obvious truth of Europe's rape and pillage of the world.
The purpose of the ruse is to conceal the truth in the
cacophonous intellectual clutter of infinitesimal
detail.
It is clearly evident that the contemporary condition of the native American is a consequence of five centuries of systematic genocide and cultural, social, political and economic displacement and subjugation.
The contemporary condition of the Afrikan world is the consequence of a series of conquests by Euroasiatic peoples including 1300 years of Arabization/Islamization and enslavement and five hundred years of incalculable destruction, enslavement, genocide, and exploitation by the European.
These barbaric onslaughts of unmatched of unprecendented scale and scope originated with the Indo-European, and is a reflection of the historic Indo-European's defining and insatiable drive to conquer, dominate, control and destroy. Whole nations, numerous animal and plant species and
ecosystems have been ruthlessly exploited and destroyed in the name of Western (European-American) progress, civilization, and religion/ideology."

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.'
