"If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress...The progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even begun to pull the knife out, much less try to heal the wound. They won't even admit the knife is there."
SISTER SOULJAH ON KU KLUX KLAN
In this 1992 interview with Larry King, rapper and activist Sister Souljah responds to an incredible accusation.
A caller claims her actions are on a par with white supremacist David Duke. Her answer is as powerful as it gets.
To do it justice, you’ll have to listen to the clip, but let’s just say she lays out some history that should never be forgotten.
The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is a violent white supremacy organisation founded after the U.S. Civil War. Since 1865, the KKK has killed many Blacks in the U.S., including by lynching. Members burn crosses and march wearing hooded gowns to terrorise Black people. In addition to hate crimes, the KKK has opposed any form of equality with Africans in the U.S. Perhaps that's why the caller thinks our sister doesn't deserve to wear her jewels?

He didn't fear anybody. He had those people so scared they had to kill him. They couldn't buy him, they couldn't frighten him, they couldn't reach him.

"Millions of Africans travel to Europe for jobs and to have a better life. A united Africa would utilize its resources and create jobs that will keep Africans back home. It is either we live or die in Africa. Africa is our mother, how can we leave our mother?"
