“Making a statement like “we’re not Africans, We’re Black” proves how successful our oppressor has been in teaching us self-hate” - Ralph

“I think the only way for change to happen and inequalities to be righted is if the African diaspora unites, but that will only happen when people of the diaspora realize that they are connected. If you look at the catastrophe happening on the island of Hispaniola, from the outside it seems like two countries having immigration problems. But when you are aware of the history you realize that what you really have is one group of Spanish colonized blacks wanting the other group of French colonized blacks deported from one island to the other side of the same island.“ - Tinora Locke
