- “The African race stems from a continental African gene pool and includes all of those whose ancestors originated there and who possess linguistic or cultural qualities and traits associated with the gene pool. Like other definitions for gene pools, this one is imprecise. We know, for example, that in one biological sense all humans are Africans since we all possess the mitochondrial DNA of an African woman who lived 200,000 years ago.”
- “Africalogy rejects the Africanist idea of the separation of African people as being short-sighted, analytically vapid, and philosophically unsound. One cannot study Africans in the United States or Brazil or Jamaica without some appreciation for the historical and cultural significance of Africa as source and origin.”
- “I have consistently argued that the African American Studies or African studies scholar whom I shall call ‘Africalogist’ must begin analysis from the primacy of the classical African civilizations, namely Kemet (Egypt), Nubia, Axum, and Meroe.”onsistently argued that the African American Studies or African studies scholar whom I shall call ‘Africalogist’ must begin analysis from the primacy of the classical African civilizations, namely Kemet (Egypt), Nubia, Axum, and Meroe. This simply means that adequate understanding of African phenomena cannot occur without a reference point in the classical and most documented African culture
- “Centrism, the groundedness of observation and behavior in one’s own historical experiences, shapes the concepts, paradigms, theories, and methods of Africalogy.”
- “African American Studies is a human experience, historical and contemporary, all the ways African people have tried to make their physical, social, and cultural environments served ether end of harmony. Unlike most social sciences it does not examine from a distance in order to predict behavior. Unlike some other disciplines it is neither purely social science nor humanities but a merging of the two fields as well as the use of several approaches to phenomena stemming from the Afrocentric perspective. While it is possible for the sociologist and anthropologist to say that their fields contain nothing new, that is, nothing that is not treated in other extant sciences; the Africalogist knows that the results of the Afrocentric perspective is so profoundly revolutionary in the field of knowledge that it virtually constitutes new knowledge.”
- “[N]o longer can European studies of Africa parade as African studies.”
- “[O]rganizations are not innocent bystanders to discrimination.”
- “[T]he dominant aspect of the total environmental reality is that the overwhelming majority of people are black, brown, red and yellow. This fact has created the most fundamental collective preoccupation and, perhaps, fear in the global white collective: white genetic survival — a survival that is threatened by the genetic material contained in the genitals of Black and other non-white men. Non-white people are genetically dominant to whites, and, thus, are potential genetic annihilators of the minority white collective. Due to this fear of white genetic annihilation, the global white collective has evolved during the last 2,000 years, the global white supremacy system and culture that dominates all black, brown, red and yellow peoples in the world, determining their behavior in all areas of people activity.”
- “The deeper you go into the collective mind the blacker it gets.” — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
- “[Europeanized Christianity tells you that] anyone who believes in the African traditional religion doesn’t believe in God, but he doesn’t believe in the type of God that the white folks believe in. The white folks believe that God is an over-sized, white man sitting on a throne somewhere up in a place called heaven. The African traditional religion teaches you that there’s a large number of Gods. You have tree gods, sun gods, moon gods, Earth gods, star gods, etc. and since a group of colleges make up a university, then a group of the little gods make up the big God. So you take all the little gods and merge them together, and you get the great God — which is the universe itself. It never started, it never was created and it’ll never have an end so therefore, they said that the great God is nature itself, the universe, and they believed in a doctrine of the trinity. God is the physical universe, Christ is the mental universe and matter and mind interact and produce life so you get a trinity of matter, life and mind. And that’s it.” — Dr. John G. Jackson
