More From Jupiter Hammon

The statue of liberty was never meant to be a symbol of immigration. it was meant to be a symbol of liberty and freedom. lady liberty is stepping forward. she is meant to be carrying the torch of liberty from the united states to the rest of the world. the torch is not to light the way to the united states. it is to light the way to liberty to the rest of the world. lady liberty is carrying the light of liberty to the rest of the world. it is not a beacon for immigrants to get to this country because they're tired, they're poor, they're huddled, hungry, or thirsty.

My feelings are not god. god is god. my feelings do not define truth. god’s word defines truth. my feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. and sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. when that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - i try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, i plead with god: purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.

What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence? it is not our frowning battlements, our bristling sea coasts, our army and our navy... our reliance is in the love of liberty which god has planted in us. our defense is in the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere. destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism at your own doors... you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.

Imperialism has now reached a degree of almost scientific perfection. it uses white workers to conquer the non-white workers of the colonies. then, it hurls the non-white workers of one colony against those of another non-white colony. finally, it relies on the colored workers of the colonies to rule the white workers. recently, white french soldiers near mutiny in the occupied ruhr of germany, were surrounded by french african soldiers, and colored native light-infantry were sent against white german strikers.

I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. the white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. the white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. the white man's interest is to make money, to exploit.

I used to smoke marijuana. but i'll tell you something: i would only smoke it in the late evening. oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. just the early evening, midevening and late evening. occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . but never at dusk!
