• Racism is not about hurtful words, bruised feelings, political correctness, or refusing to call short people 'vertically challenged.'

• Psychotherapy makes every problem a subjective, inner problem. And that's not where the problems come from. They come from the environment, the cities, the economy, the racism. They come from architecture, school systems, capitalism, exploitation. They come from many places that psychotherapy does not address. Psychotherapy theory turns it all on you: you are the one who is wrong.

• I don't like to just talk of Africa, and south of the Sahara in general. No, I'll talk about the Third World in general.
