“We knew that not all white people were bad, and that there were black people who did wrong, too. Some white people wanted to help us, & in their heart meant us no harm, but how were we to know who they were? The way Elijah Muhammad put it was like this, 'What if there were 1,000 rattlesnakes outside your door, & maybe 100 of them wouldn't bite you, didn't mean you any harm, but they all looked alike? So you couldn't tell the mean ones from from the nice ones. What should you do? Should you open the door & hope that the 100 snakes that wouldn't harm you would come together & form a shield protecting you from the other 900 snakes that want to harm you? Or should you close the door & stay safe?”

“It’s the will o’ Them above as a many things should be dark to us; but there’s some things as I’ve never felt i’ the dark about, and they’re mostly what comes i’ the day’s work. You were hard done by that once, Master Marner, and it seems as you’ll never know the rights of it; but that doesn’t hinder there being a rights, Master Marner, for all it’s dark to you and me.”

“There are some stories, histories and facts a child must know by age 14. Must! A little boy or girl- is no longer little by the time he or she is 14. Whether you like it or not. One thing that separates them from younger "children" is CONSCIOUSNESS. They are more conscious of their existence. In every way. Their thoughts, Their feelings, Their actions and inactions are conscious ...brought to the surface. They have yearnings. Financial, emotional, sexual even. And yes those yearnings are conscious too. If by age 14, you haven't brought to consciousness certain doctrines, ideals, facts, histories, to that child, you can be sure it could cause a distortion in his perception and understanding of life...going forward. Many people treat these young adults like babies. They ain't babies. They are conscious adults in the making!”

“Many times, the beginning of self-doubt and underachievement in children is an inability to label their emotions. Emotions have names. But not many people (adult included) can call each emotion they have by its name. Labeling an emotion is as important as having it and working on it. When a child is stressed, he needs to be destressed not motivated. If as a parent you are providing motivation instead, you are wrong. A happy child may not be an excited child. Each emotion has its own remedy and provisions. But first, each must be labelled correctly before anything. "How are you feeling?" "What are you thinking about?" "Why do you feel that way?" Questions like this help kids to uncover their emotions. Label them and bring them to light. Look around and you will find that confused souls are usually "hard to read", "hard to see through" and "hard to help". This is because their real emotions are usually hidden far away from themselves and others. Sadly, they sometimes do so badly at labelling their emotions that some just choose big words like DEPRESSION, SADNESS, FRUSTRATION etc. They further confuse themselves and even make their brain emit signals that imitate those big emotions. Confusion sets in.”
