Too Black Too Strong Quotes

“It is now an open secret
Black people do not have
Chips on their shoulders,
They just have injustice on their backs
And justice on their minds,
And now we know that the road to liberty
Is as long as the road from slavery.”
― Benjamin Zephaniah, Too Black Too Strong

“I have learnt that equality
May not mean freedom.
And freedom
May not mean liberation,
You can vote my friend
And have no democracy.
Being together dear neighbour
May not mean unity,
Your oppressors may give you chances
But no opportunities.
And the state that you are in
May have its state security
Yet you may be stateless
Without protection”
― Benjamin Zephaniah, Too Black Too Strong
