"You’ve got to have statues and then they can look at the statues. Like the white race got this Justice, blindfolded. They can tell their children what it means if they ask. They’ve got a lot of statues everywhere. They’ve still got the statues of Mercury, with the wing heels and they got a lot of myth around them. They’re not dealing with the truth. Rome was built up on myths and Greece was built up on myths and ancient Egypt was based upon myths, you see and you go to any European country they got their myths but you go to the black people in America and say “ok show me your myths.” how many do they have? None. Then they’ve got a vacuum and a void in their life that’s different from other nations. They should correct it, speedily."
