Pan Africanism Quotes

“There were a few farsighted Europeans who all along saw that the colonial educational system would serve them if and when political independence was regained in Africa.

For instance, Pierre Foncin, a founder of the Alliance Francaise, stated at the beginning of this century that "it is necessary to attach the colonies to the metropolis by a very solid psychological bond, against the day when their progressive emancipation ends in a federation as is probable that they be and they remain French in language, thought and spirit.”

“The traditional face of Africa includes an attitude towards man which can only be described, in its social manifestation, as being socialist. This arises from the fact that man is regarded in Africa as primarily a spiritual being, a being endowed originally with a certain inward dignity, integrity, and value. It stands refreshingly opposed to the Christian idea of the original sin and degradation of man.”

“Unified Global South (Sonnet 2687-2688)

White bias doesn't affect only white people,
it affects colored people as well.

For example, US citizens can practically
travel to the entire world without visa,
despite being the most undeserving,
while rightful Africans cannot travel
even within the continent without visa.

This is why I say, white is not a color,
white is a mindset of exploitation.

If you want to rescue your plundered dignity,
first you gotta decolonize your own mindset.
Philosophy alone doesn't advance a society,
you gotta build the infrastructure for it.

For example, make the entire Global South
Visa Free for all its citizens, and I guarantee,
within a hundred years the Global South
will be the Powergrid of the Human Race,
like it once was, until the predators of Europe
contaminated the world with their unwelcome touch.

Foster the psychology, policy will follow.
Foster the intent, intelligence will follow.

The ultimate mission is a unified humanity,
but practical integration of the human race
beyond color and culture is not possible
until we decontaminate the planet of every last
trace of colonial vice legislated as virtue.”
― Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock

“This declaration of my blackness is not in the sense that I would wish to hold victim inclinations against myself at the expense of the works of Marcus Garvey. I'm Black not because the colonizer came to Africa and drew his askew borders around,
I'm Black not because ships developed familiarity with the atlantic waters,
I'm Black only because we needed the atlantic for there to ever exist such a person as Malcolm X.”
― Dumisani Tafadzwa Mayele

“To all the black children in this world, indeed being black is not offensive. We are black not malicious. And it did not happen by accident. Neither do you have to think of yourself as an embarrassment because our skin colour speaks from a different tone.”
