Text Quotes
Journalists become candidates for cardiac arrest when they see or hear an African American disagreeing with an African American. We would become inauthentic if we did not have disagreements with this president (African Quotes)
Our hair can be a fun outlet for self expression. I love wearing cornrows and getting my hair thread-wrapped because it feels ancient and African (African Quotes)
The Afro-American experience is the only real culture that America has. Basically, every American tries to walk, talk, dress and behave like African Americans (African Quotes)
It’s not about composition. It’s the way you feel about how your objects should relate to each other. I’ve got lots of African statues and things, and the cleaner arranges them like soldiers, which drives me mad. So I have to rearrange them, and I must drive her mad, because I’m doing anarchy and she’s doing military manoeuvres (African Quotes)
African narratives in the West, they proliferate. I really don’t care anymore. I’m more interested in the stories we tell about ourselves - how, as a writer, I find that African writers have always been the curators of our humanity on this continent (African Quotes)
I make up cassettes all the time - to take on the road with me - a song from this album, a song from that album. That’s the way I listen to music; it’s like one of those K Tel things: it’s from all over. I listen to Fred Astaire, I listen to African folk music, I listen to Talking Heads (African Quotes)
The Nobel Prize is worth $1.5 million, but that’s not the issue. Do the distinguished scientists who win the Nobel Prize need the money? Probably not. The honor is more important the money, and that’s the case with the prize for African leadership as well (African Quotes)
The notion that religion can actually be something... attached to progressivism seems so bizarre. But all you have to say is that Abolition wouldn’t have happened without it. The way in which African Americans managed to achieve a degree of self-determination was through the church (African Quotes)
It’s depressing to see blacks wanting to dive into the mainstream of American commercial life. They come from a magnificent African culture based on aesthetics, and they all want to become fort builders like the vicious people who originally enslaved them (African Quotes)
I don’t think you can explain why all these other sports and college basketball have a fair representation of African American coaches, but college football doesn’t. You can dig and scramble and scratch, but at the end of the day I think it’s just pure, old-fashioned racism (African Quotes)
They think America is like a major league in entertainment. For me personally being here for the past year-and-a-half, I know some of the arguments and discrepancies African American actors have with the opportunities here (African Quotes)
Black is not a notion. Africa is not a color. Africa is a culture. So you can be pitch black and I am my color but I’m more African than you can ever be because culturally there are certain things that you just don’t understand (African Quotes)
Being black and speaking properly are not mutually exclusive. My father was an African, and he spoke beautifully at home. Nelson Mandela speaks beautifully. Should Mandela put his hat on backwards and say, ‘Yo, homey, this is Nelson. Yo, Winnie, yo, this is def’? (African Quotes)
We recriminalized black life. Incarceration rates since the 1908s have gone through the roof, overwhelmingly black males, women and Hispanics to some extent. Essentially re-doing what happened under Reconstruction. That’s the history of African Americans - so how can any one say there’s no problem. Sure, racism is serious, but it’s worse than that (African Quotes)
Unfortunately, we don’t have a depth of African scriptwriters, so it’s easier to Africanize something that already works. Local script writers are giving me James Bond budget scenes that I can’t even produce (African Quotes)
I think anyone that comes to Nigeria has to offer value. What value are you bringing? There are Black Americans here. I think we’ve moved beyond that Africans vs. African Americans. They may have more issues with us than we do with them (African Quotes)
I was adopted my black Americans, I feel that I’m a ‘Hybrid’. When I’m around Africans’I suddenly feel very black American. And when I’m around black Americans’I feel very North African. North Africa and black America are both the creators of Kola Boof (African Quotes)
Guinea has managed to go 42 days consecutively without any new Ebola infections. And that comes after neighboring Sierra Leone and Liberia, the other two West African countries that were hardest hit by Ebola, have been through the same cycle of zero Ebola cases (African Quotes)
Because of its exceptional capacity for self-criticism, the West took the initiative in abolishing slavery; the calls for abolition did not resonate even in black Africa, where rival African tribes took black prisoners to be sold as slaves in the West (African Quotes)
Many people have compared me to the Victorian adventure writer, Rider Haggard. I accept that as a compliment. As a boy growing up in Central Africa I read all Haggard’s African novels (African Quotes)
The only pool of young people lies in Saudi Arabia, some of the Middle-East countries, and few African countries. But they are not prepared as Indians are... we travel well; we are accepted globally very well, and that makes India truly a place to source world’s workforce (African Quotes)
African American history is really American history because African Americans really helped build this country. (African Quotes)
I’m not offended if you call me an African American. I prefer a black American. (African Quotes)
In the African American community, we are very ‘hush, hush’ about things in our life (African Quotes)
The people who suffer in the Obama economy have been young people, African Americans, Hispanics, single moms. (African Quotes)
Sports and entertainment have always been windows of opportunity for African Americans, when other doors were closed. (African Quotes)
