About Me

IMG.displayed { display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto } MyGen Profile Generator
I pledge allegiance to my Black People. I pledge to develop my mind and body to the greatest extent possible. I will learn all that I can in order to give my best to my People in their struggle for liberation. I will keep myself physically fit, building a strong body free from drugs and other substances which weaken me and make me less capable of protecting myself, my family and my Black brothers and sisters. I will unselfishly share my knowledge and understanding with them in order to bring about change more quickly. I will discipline myself to direct my energies thoughtfully and constructively rather than wasting them in idle hatred. I will train myself never to hurt or allow others to harm my Black brothers and sisters for I recognize that we need every Black Man, Woman, and Child to be physically, mentally and psychologically strong. These principles I pledge to practice daily and to teach them to others in order to unite my People.
The Black Panther, October 26, 1968

My Interests

]
'History will one day have its say, but it will not be the history that Brussels, Paris, Washington, or the United Nations will teach, but that which they will teach in the countries emancipatied from colonialism and its puppets. Africa will write its own history, and it will be, to the north and to the south of the Sahara, a history of glory and dignity.''-Patrice Lumumba

"Our success educationally, industrially and politically is based upon the protection of a nation founded by ourselves. And the nation can be nowhere else but in Africa."
-Marcus Garvey

"Language, which provides us with definition, clarity, and therefore direction, is a key tool used to misdirect our energy. Many of us in the Hip Hop community facilitate our own confusion when we take words and change them to suit our interests."
-Agyei Tyehimba

"I want history to remember me not just as the first black woman to be elected to Congress, not as the first black woman to have made a bid for the presidency of the United States, but as a black woman who lived in the 20th century and dared to be herself."
-Shirley Chisholm

"Whether you have a Ph.D., or no D, we're in this bag together. And whether you're from Morehouse or Nohouse, we're still in this bag together. Not to fight to try to liberate ourselves from the men -- this is another trick to get us fighting among ourselves -- but to work together with the black man, then we will have a better chance to just act as human beings, and to be treated as human beings in our sick society."
-Fannie Lou Hamer

Ever since I came to Congress in 1992, there are those who have been trying to silence my voice. I've been told to "sit down and shut up" over and over again. Well, I won't sit down and I won't shut up until the full and unvarnished truth is placed before the American people."
-PRESIDENTAL CANDIDATE CYNTHIA MCKINNEY

The revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.
-Huey P. Newton

"Black Consciousness is an attitude of the mind and a way of life, the most positive call to emanate from the black world for a long time."
-Steven Bantu Biko

"I write to keep in contact with our ancestors and to spread truth to people."
-Sonjia Sanchez

"Now, then, in order to understand white supremacy we must dismiss the fallacious notion that white people can give anybody their freedom." -Kwame Ture

I'd like to meet:

Revolutionary Brothas and Sistahs down for the improvment and advancement of OUR people on ALL levels.
