"If you can control a man's thinking, you don't have to worry about his actions. If you can determine what a man thinks you do not have worry about what he will do. If you can make a man believe that he is inferior, you don't have to compel him to seek an inferior status, he will do so without being told and if you can make a man believe that he is justly an outcast, you don?t have to order him to the back door, he will go to the back door on his own and if there is no back door, the very nature of the man will demand that you build one." - Carter G. Woodson

"Always bear in mind that people are not fighting for ideas, for the things in anyone's head. They are fighting to win material benefits, to live better and in peace, to see their lives go forward, to guarantee the future of their children." - Amilcar Cabral

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." - George Bernard Shaw


dont oppress me by insistin im the lightest person in the pic lol

It is not the existence of a race and ethnic group or anything of the kind that define the behaviours of a human aggregate. No, it is the social environment and the problems arising from the reactions to this environment and the reactions of the human beings in question. All this defines the behaviour of the human aggregate" - Amilcar Cabral
