"You canâ€™t hate the roots of the tree without ending up hating the tree. You canâ€™t hate your origin without ending up hating yourself. You canâ€™t hate the land, your motherland, the place that you come from, and we canâ€™t hate Africa without ending up hating ourselves. The Black man in the Western Hemisphereâ€”North America, Central America, South America, and in the Caribbeanâ€”is the best example of how one can be made, skillfully, to hate himself that you can find anywhere on this earth."

-- Malcolm X
