Teach the niggers to forget their heroes and to adore only ours.~speech by King Leopold II of Belgium delivered in 1883~ reunionblackfamily/apps/blog/show/11410954-letter-from-one-of-the-most-evil-king-leopold-ii-of-belgium-to-colonial-missionaries-1883 we are the only people who worship a God whose image we did not choose. That was our trap then, it is our trap now. We cannot conceive of a God that looks like us. This is why right now we will fight each other quicker than we would fight anything with a White face. We could rationalize plunging a knife into one of us, but we cannot rationalize plunging a knife into a White policeman who is mutilating a Black woman or Black man. We are trapped by this image, and a lot of these images came straight out of the Bible. My contradictions then, the contradictions I would have to work out, were all these White angels. If God is love, with all the Brown people in the world, all the yellow people in the world, shouldnt one little yellow, Brown or Black angel sneak into heaven some way or somewhere? One that has been good enough to get into heaven. What is this saying to you? That a people who control the power of the world, are saying to you, that heaven is even reserved for them and their kith and kin. Not only do they reserve earth for themselves, they reserve heaven for themselves. -John Henrik Clarke My Life in Search of Africa
