I'm Looking Forward To The Time When

Thousand Years Ago, We All Descended From Africans Who Left The Continent. Those Ancestors, We Will Never Know Their Name. We Can Go Back 200 Or 300 Years And Actually Populate Your Family Tree With Real People Who Had Names And Documents. They Had Customs, Characteristics That, Unbeknownst To You, You Have Inherited. Almost Through Osmosis It Has Been Passed Down To You.

I Knew That There Were Black People In Africa, Of Course, Unfortunately Because Of Movies Such As 'tarzan.'

The Story Of The African-american People Is The Story Of The Settlement And Growth Of America Itself, A Universal Tale That All People Should Experience.

You Should Not Pick An Occupation Because Your Think Your Parents Want You To Do It, Or Because You Think It's The Noble Thing To Do. You Should Only Pick A Job Because It Turns You On.

For Black America Needs A Politics Whose First Mission Isn't The Reinforcement Of The Idea Of Black America; And A Discourse Of Race That Isn't Centrally Concerned With Preserving The Idea Of Race And Racial Unanimity. We Need Something We Don't Yet Have: A Way Of Speaking About Black Poverty That Doesn't Falsify The Reality Of Black Advancement; A Way Of Speaking About Black Advancement That Doesn't Distort The Enduring Realities Of Black Poverty.
