“You can’t hate the roots of the tree without  ending up hating the tree. You can’t hate your origin without ending up  hating yourself. You can’t hate the land, your motherland, the place  that you come from, and we can’t hate Africa without ending up hating  ourselves. The Black man in the Western Hemisphere—North America,  Central America, South America, and in the Caribbean—is the best example  of how one can be made, skillfully, to hate himself that you can find  anywhere on this earth.”
