Africa Quotes (page 8)

There is a greater fatigue concerning the African problem today than five or 10 years ago. The situation now in Africa is worse today than it was 10 years ago. Boutros Boutros-Ghali
Boutros Boutros-Ghali quote: "So this is why I'm always say happy that somebody mentions..."
So this is why I'm always say happy that somebody mentions Rwanda, because behind Rwanda, we have Africa. Boutros Boutros-Ghali
A genocide in Africa has not received the same attention that genocide in Europe or genocide in Turkey or genocide in other part of the world. There is still this kind of basic discrimination against the African people and the African problems. Boutros Boutros-Ghali
Music is something I must do, business is something I need to do, and Africa is something I have to do. That's the way it breaks down in my life. Bob Geldof
Actually, today I had to defend the Bush Administration in France again. They refuse to accept, because of their political ideology, that he has actually done more than any American President for Africa. But it's empirically so. Bob Geldof
I had a hard time convincing students that they were going to North Africa to understand the North Africans, not to understand themselves. Clifford Geertz
That is not enough. Sport has been great for me, a great learning place that if you want to achieve you can, even if you are from the poorest part of Africa. Haile Gebrselassie
You can say I had a severe case of 'Roots' envy. I wanted to be like Alex Haley, and I wanted to be able to... do my family tree back to the slave ship and then reverse the Middle Passage, as I like to put it, and find the tribe or ethnic group that I was from in Africa. Henry Louis Gates
The Western stereotype of Africa and its black citizens as devoid of reason and, therefore, subhuman was often shared by white master and black ex-slave alike. Henry Louis Gates
My family and our neighbors and friends thought of Africa and its Africans as extensions of the stereotyped characters that we saw in movies and on television in films such as 'Tarzan' and in programs such as 'Ramar of the Jungle' and 'Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.' Henry Louis Gates
Let's face it - think of Africa, and the first images that come to mind are of war, poverty, famine and flies. How many of us really know anything at all about the truly great ancient African civilizations, which in their day, were just as splendid and glorious as any on the face of the earth? Henry Louis Gates
It's important to debunk the myths of Africa being this benighted continent civilized only when white people arrived. In fact, Africans had been creators of culture for thousands of years before. These were very intelligent, subtle and sophisticated people, with organized societies and great art. Henry Louis Gates
Henry Louis Gates quote: "I knew that there were black people in Africa, of course,..."
I knew that there were black people in Africa, of course, unfortunately because of movies such as 'Tarzan.' Henry Louis Gates
For as long as I can remember, I have been passionately intrigued by 'Africa,' by the word itself, by its flora and fauna, its topographical diversity and grandeur; but above all else, by the sheer variety of the colors of its people, from tan and sepia to jet and ebony. Henry Louis Gates
Marcus Garvey quote: "Look to Africa, for there a king will be crowned."
Look to Africa, for there a king will be crowned. Marcus Garvey
