If origin defines race, then the entire human race is African.

The human race comes from a black mother.

In fact, just for the sake of understanding, if we measure the amount of blood and sweat that actually went into the making of America, we’d find that the contributions of the blacks far outweigh the contributions of the whites!

If we go back long enough, every single person on earth comes from a black mother. That makes all of us black, even if some look less black than others.

If origin defines race, then we are all Africans – we are all black.

Let the force of determination merge with your very existence and the bearers of barbarism will tremble in fear.

Let me tell you here and now as a black person, we don't expect charity, we just expect the trust and dignity, to which the white person is entitled in this world by default.

When one attains self-knowledge, distinctions of race and religion vanish.

Black doesn't mean dangerous, white doesn't mean trash, brown doesn't mean smuggler, muslim doesn't mean terrorist, woman doesn't mean weak, and lgbt doesn't mean sick. These are the fundamentals that we must realize if we are to build a just and humane society.
