African Men

Famous quotes containing the words african and/or men:

    Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did. I have no illusions on this score, nor do I believe that any Asian nation or African nation, in the same state of dominance, and with the same system of colonial profit-amassing and plunder, would have behaved otherwise.
    Han Suyin (b. 1917)

    They out-talked thee, hissed thee, tore thee?
    Better men fared thus before thee;
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
