John Henrik Clarke Zitate

Africans in the United States must remember that the slave ships brought no West Indians, no Caribbeans, no Jamaicans or Trinidadians or Barbadians to this hemisphere. The slave ships brought only African people and most of us took the semblance of nationality from the places where slave ships dropped us off.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Afrikaner in den Vereinigten Staaten müssen sich daran erinnern, dass die Sklavenschiffe keine Westindianer, keine Caribbeaner, keine Jamaikaner oder Trinidadianer oder Barbader in diese Hemisphäre brachten. Die Sklavenschiffe brachten nur Afrikaner mit, und die meisten von uns hatten den Anschein von Nationalität von den Orten, an denen Sklavenschiffe uns abgesetzt hatten.
