We hated our African characteristics. We hated our hair. We hated the shape of our nose, and the shape of our lips, the color of our skin…This is how [Whites] imprisoned us. Not just bringing us over here and making us slaves. But the image that you created of our motherland and the image that you created of our people on that continent was a trap, was a prison, was a chain, was the worst form of slavery that has ever been invented…

Malcolm X (from “Hair Story”)

yes brother Malcolm!
