James Baldwin
“To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a state of rage almost, almost all of the time â€� and in one's work. And part of the rage is this: It isn't only what is happening to you. But it's what's happening all around you and all of the time in the face of the most extraordinary and criminal indifference, indifference of most white people in this country, and their ignorance. Now, since this is so, it's a great temptation to simplify the issues under the illusion that if you simplify them enough, people will recognize them. I think this illusion is very dangerous because, in fact, it isn't the way it works. A complex thing can't be made simple. You simply have to try to deal with it in all its complexity and hope to get that complexity across.”
James Baldwin

Gerald Horne
“This blatant power and money grab by merchants was then dressed in the finery of liberty and freedom,45 as the bourgeois revolution was conceived in a crass and crude act of staggering hypocrisy, which nevertheless bamboozled generations to follow, including those who styled themselves as radical.”
Gerald Horne, The Apocalypse of Settler Colonialism: The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, and Capitalism in 17th Century North America and the Caribbean

“Use history to inform the present!”
Dr. Gerald Horne

“Racism is an excuse used for capitalism, and we know that racism is a byproduct of capitalism.”
Fred Hampton

Gerald Horne
“For the Negroes on the islandâ€� of Jamaica “being 80,000,â€� it was said in 1714, and the “white people not above 2000,â€� the former “may at any time rise and destroy the white peopleâ€�; besides, Jamaica had a “formidable neighbour,â€� referring to the “French on Hispaniola,â€� which increased the peril, as the internal and external antagonists could combine.”
Gerald Horne, The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America
