One of the things that made the black muslim movement grow was its emphasis upon things african. this was the secret to the growth of the black muslim movement. african blood, african origin, african culture, african ties. and you'd be surprised - we discovered that deep within the subconscious of the black man in this country, he is still more african than he is american.

You see the one thing i've always maintained is that i'm an american indian. i'm not a native american. i'm not politically correct. everyone who's born in the western hemisphere is a native american. we are all native americans. and if you notice, i put american before my ethnicity. i'm not a hyphenated african-american or irish-american or jewish-american or mexican-american.

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

Humorous Law Government
"what for?" i said. "what for, tante lou? he treated me the same way he treated her. he wants me to feel guilty, just as he wants her to feel guilty. well, i'm not feeling guilty, tante lou. i didn't put him there. i do everything i know how to do to keep people like him from going there. he's not going to make me feel guilty."
