“Those who desire to serve the Negro people, must be prepared for criticism from his own race. I did not organize the universal Negro Improvement Association without calculating the cost, and the cost is ingratitude of Negros whom we are serving.

Having had the wrong kind of education, the Negro has become his own greatest enemy. Most of the trouble I’ve had in advancing the cause of the race, has come from Negros…

There is no doubt that the Negro is his own greatest enemy. He is jealous of himself, and envious, and covetous. This accounts for most of our failures in business, and other things.”

Mhenga Marcus Garvey
