"
In hating Africa and hating the African, we ended up hating ourselves, without realizing it. Because you can’t hate the roots of a tree and not hate the tree … so they made you and me hate our African identity, our African characteristics. We hated our hair, we hated the shape of our nose, we hated the color of our skin; hated the blood of Africa that was in our veins. And in hating our features and our skin and our blood, we had to end up hating ourselves.Malcolm X (via myafrica-isbeautiful)
