“This propaganda of dis-associating Western Negroes from Africa is not a new one. For many years white propagandists have been printing tons of literature to impress scattered Ethiopia, especially that portion within their civilization, with the idea that Africa is a despised place, inhabited by savages, and cannibals, where no civilized human being should go, especially black civilized human beings. This propaganda is promulgated for the cause that is being realized today. That cause is COLONIAL EXPANSION for the white nations of the world.” WorldShouldYearsHumansHas BeensIdeasTodayLiteratureNationsCausesBlackHuman BeingsWhiteCivilizationWesternPropagandaCivilizedBeing RealPortionsSavagesImpressExpansionPrintingDespisedCannibalEthiopiaPropagandist Book:The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey, Or, Africa for the Africans Source: The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey, Or, Africa for the Africans

Some of his ancestors kidnapped our ancestors from Africa and took us into the Western Hemisphere and sold us there, and our names were stripped from us and so today we don't know who we really are. I am one of those who admit it, and so I just put X up there to keep from wearing his name.” IfsKnowsMenRealTodayNamesBlackStudyWesternAncestorHemisphereKidnapped Author:Malcolm X
“The philosophy of love and peace strangely overlooked who was in possession of the guns. There had been love and peace for some time on the continent of Africa because for all this time black men had been captivated by the doctrines of Christianity. It took them centuries to realize its contradictions. ... perhaps there was no greater crime as yet than all the lies Western civilization had told in the name of Jesus Christ.” MenPhilosophyLyingReligionJesusNamesBlackChristRealizingChristianityGreaterCenturyCrimeCivilizationGunJesus ChristWesternPossessionDoctrineContradictionContinentsOverlookedWestern CivilizationPeace And LoveCaptivatedPhilosophy Love Author:Bessie Head
