Text Quotes
Black Panther is a historic opportunity to be a part of something important and special, particularly at a time when African Americans are affirming their identities while dealing with vilification and dehumanization. The image of a black hero on this scale is just really exciting.  (African Quotes) For people of color - especially African Americans - the idea that racist cops might frame members of their community is no abstract notion, let alone an exercise in irrational conspiracy theorizing. Rather, it speaks to a social reality about which blacks are acutely aware.  (African Quotes) American high school culture was impenetrable to me, and very cliquey: you had the Hispanics, the African Americans, the surfer guys and the goths and the immigrants. The jocks and the surfers got the girls. By the time I’d got to grips with it, I’d graduated.  (African Quotes) Seriously though, my father was the first African American to sign a contract with the Metropolitan Opera so I grew up with classical music and jazz in the home all the time.  (African Quotes) Cumbia is a beautiful rhythm. It’s a music that has indigenous, African and European components. It’s played in all of America - from Argentina to the U.S. It has mutated and been nurtured by everyone who comes across it.  (African Quotes) It wasn’t until I came to New York and started to see the African American community, but also the Ethiopian community here, and started to eat the food, started to understand the music. I said, you know, I got to go and understand the culture. So me and my sister went.  (African Quotes) Michael Jackson fundamentally altered the terms of the debate about African American music. Remember, he was a chocolate, cherubic-faced genius with an African American halo. He had an Afro halo. He was a kid who was capable of embodying all of the high possibilities and the deep griefs that besieged the African American psyche.  (African Quotes) Jazz is really 20th-century fusion music. You take West African harmony and rhythm, mix with European harmony, and boom!  (African Quotes) My passion is more about bringing the stories out from the African continent mixed with the West  (African Quotes) We view South Africa as one of our closest strategic partners in the developing world and in the African continent.  (African Quotes) Trading and religion have always been aligned together in the history of the world, and especially on the African continent.  (African Quotes) My foundation was created so I can find a way to improve the living conditions of my people in the African continent, not just in Congo.  (African Quotes) The fate of the African continent does not f-ing depend on a load of f-ing musicians in Hyde Park singing f-ing s-t songs to kids.  (African Quotes) I don’t think there would be many examples of South Africa pushing its weight around the African Continent. I don’t think the facts would substantiate that argument.  (African Quotes) A lot of my work reflects the incredible influence that America has had on contemporary African culture. Some of it’s insidious, some of it’s innocuous, some of it’s invisible. It’s there.  (African Quotes) I was in Paris last year, where there’s a great appreciation of many different aspects of African culture and of black culture. The music... the art... whatever... And I kind of went with that.  (African Quotes) 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.  (African Quotes) One of the biggest dishes in Sicily is couscous, and there’s always been a North African influence on Italian culture, culinary culture there.  (African Quotes) To live your life well, and have respect for what came before or after - there’s a strong respect for that in African culture.  (African Quotes) Every culture to me - be it Asian, African, be it whatever - is a source of reference. I don’t think I’m ‘stealing’ it or anything.  (African Quotes) I’ve got to where am in life not because of something I brought to the world but through something I found - the wealth of African culture.  (African Quotes) What the new government of Nigeria and other African governments must do, is to start a massive reorientation campaign in the culture of the dignity of labour.  (African Quotes) Who Fears Death’ addresses the push and pull in African culture that powerful women face when their culture has certain duties and beliefs that can stifle them.  (African Quotes) The insidious aid culture has left African countries more debt-laden, more inflation-prone, more vulnerable to the vagaries of the currency markets and more unattractive to higher-quality investment.  (African Quotes) The education I received was a British education, in which British ideas, British culture, British institutions, were automatically assumed to be superior. There was no such thing as African culture.  (African Quotes) When we were in D.C. my daddy used to cut his hair with a bowl. Crucial. If you’re African, Haitan, Jamaican or even more poor than the people in the project, you’ll know about that.  (African Quotes) Many African leaders refuse to send their troops on peace keeping missions abroad because they probably need their armies to intimidate their own populations.  (African Quotes) I would love to be the African leader that steps down, that overthrows this idea of a Big Man ruler. I don’t want to stay in office forever.  (African Quotes) Some African leaders actually dare to suggest that democracy is a concept alien to traditional African society. This is one of the most impudent political blasphemies I can think of.  (African Quotes) Africa is not fulfilling people’s hopes and aspirations. African leaders have not had an agenda that included governing Africa so that people would find their careers, their life, dreams and visions fulfilled here.  (African Quotes)
