There was a third white destroyer: a missionary who wanted to replace all knowledge of OUR way with fables wven our children laughed at then. We told the white missionary we had such fables too, but kept them for entertainment of those yet growing up-fables of gods and devils and a supreme being above everything. We told him we knew soft mids needed such illusions, but that when any mind grew among us to adulthood it gre beyond these fables and came to understand that there is indeed a great force in the world, a force spiritual and able to shape the physical universe, but that that force is not something cut off, not somehting separate from ourselves. It is an energy in us, strongest in our working, breathing, thinking, together as one people; weakest when we are scattered, confused broken into individual, unconnected fragments."- Ayi Kwei Armah

On understanding Afrakan thought:
"it's like explaining astrophysics to a whino, the explanation can't be done like that. when people try to simplify it, they ask the other person to tailor the answers their cultural context. and trying to cater afrikan ideals to european understanding is a REAL sin."-utamaroho
