John Henrik Clarke Zitate

The people and the cultures of what is known as Africa are older than the word 'Africa.' According to most records, old and new, Africans are the oldest people on the face of the earth. The people now called Africans not only influenced the Greeks and the Romans, they influenced the early world before there was a place called Europe.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Die Menschen und Kulturen von Afrika sind älter als das Wort "Afrika". Nach den meisten Aufzeichnungen, alten und neuen, sind Afrikaner die ältesten Menschen auf der Erde. Die Menschen, die jetzt Afrikaner genannt werden, beeinflussten nicht nur die Griechen und Römer, sie beeinflussten die frühe Welt, bevor es einen Ort gab, der Europa genannt wurde.

This condition started in the 15th and the 16th centuries with the beginning of the slave trade system.

Over the summer I thought that I would seek out non-Americans as friends, just for diversity's sake. Now I find that I want to be around Americans - people who I know are thinking about our country as much as I am.

No one in this world, so far as I know - and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me - has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.

H. L. Mencken

America before the 1960s was a pretty innocent place. We were the Lone Ranger galloping off to the rescue of the needy and the oppressed of the world, and we could get things done.

You cannot blame the mismanagement of the economy or the fact that we have not invested adequately in education in order to give our people the knowledge, the skills and the technology that they need in order to be able to use the resources that Africa has to gain wealth.

People are fed up with the politics where candidates just rip each other apart and then the voters lose in the end because no one really knows what anybody stands for.
