"We must be cognizant of the selfish, predatory, imbalanced mindset that has come to infest our world. We would be most foolhardy students of our ancestors' wisdom not to see through those determinded anti-Kmtyw people who would have us think that the social and cultural absorption of us into whiteness is the only logical, progressive human thing to do. We cannot treat others with respect if they systematically and historically use that respect against us. We cannot treat with respect a people who study our way only in order to turn it into a tool against us". - Nana Mwalimu Baruti
The most savage people ever known claim to be the most civilized. They have stolen every thing they know from every other people on the planet. They have also decieved the masses into believing that their distorted account of world history is the most accurate. We are not fooled.

"If we do not know ourselves, not only are we a puzzle to ourselves; other people are also a puzzle to us as well. We assume the wrong identity and identify ourselves with our enemies."- Baba Amos Wilson
It's their nature to be anti-Kmtyw, history teaches us that!
