” ‘Divide and rule’ has long been the Caucasian strategy to continue their colonization of dark people. The American Caucasian actually has colonized 20 million black people here in this country simply by dividing us from our African brothers and sisters for 400 years, converting us to his Christian religion, and then by teaching us to call ourselves ‘Negroes’ and telling us we were no longer African.”

-Malcolm X, 1961
