like bad checks ~ Ishmael Reed

One of the joys of reading is the ability to plug into the shared wisdom of mankind. ~ Ishmael Reed

Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
For generations comedians have made jokes about Scots-Irish in the South inter-breeding. "I am my own grandpa" and all that stuff; you know, because they all were marrying their first cousins. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I think Black intellectuals see too deeply. That's the problem. It's a cause of anxiety, because we see things differently. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Ethnic life in the United States has become a sort of contest like baseball in which the blacks are always the Chicago Cubs. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
A lot of great art comes from the Afro-American male experience. Black men are geniuses, and many times their desperation, their position as being pariahs, leads them to great originality. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I think there are fundamentalists all over the world. I think all religions have fundamentalists who have different interpretations of scriptures that are very vague. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed

Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Another California study counted 30,000 substance abusers who are pregnant are White woman. So, The Wire paints the picture of drug addiction, drug dealing, and drug abuse as being a specifically a Black issue. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
My stuff is direct. Critics have compared my writing style with boxing all the way back to 1978 when my first book of essays appeared: it was compared to Muhammad Ali's style. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Let us not still our anger against indifference and inattention and let us not glitziness, superciliousness and mumbo jumbo slither into our thinking and our actions, if we don't want our conscience to be backfired on. ("Twilight of desire") ~ Erik Pevernagie
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Erik Pevernagie
I'm sure that you could go back and make a graph showing that all the killings of black males increased in times of economic difficulty. As a matter of fact, a black man was lynched last year. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I have Black guys who tell me they put my books on their bed stands to read at night like something for guidance or information. That really pleases me a lot. I think my work has changed some things. It's changed me. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I get most my information about what's happening in the United States from reports and studies, which are often in conflict with what you read on the editorial pages, or handouts from right wing institutions like the American Enterprise Institute. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Americans are fickle. And what constitutes the enemy is always changing. Believe it or not, at one time Blacks were the favored model minority over Asian Americans. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I asked Joe Weixlmann why he would print a death threat like that in light of the fact that there are all of these armed ideological nuts wandering around loose. He said that for him, to "ice" someone means to reprimand them. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I wasn't part of any sixties movement. I'm skeptical of movements. I'm part of the times that I'm in. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I'm sure that a previous generation of Jews who published radical newspapers and journals would be critical of [David] Simon's projects. These were left wingers who suffered casualties in some of bloodiest strikes in American history. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I had no systematic way of learning but proceeded like a quilt maker, a patch of knowledge here a patch there but lovingly knitted. I would hungrily devour the intellectual scraps and leftovers of the learned. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Given all of the anti-Muslim propaganda that's being disseminated by The American Nazi media, you have to be careful. It can stress you out. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I walked out on American Gangster: this evil piece of dreck. Defenders of this junk say that these movies give Black actors jobs. So did "Birth of a Nation." ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I was challenged to a fistfight by Margo Jefferson, the Pulitzer Prize winner, New York Times writer, who is part of a feminist clique at the Times, which believes that Black men are the principal threat to the women of the world. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Joel Chandler Harris, who created a multi billion dollar industry, everything from his books, to Disney's "Song of the South" based upon the Uncle Remus stories. He got his start by transcribing the stories of slave Informants. I'm sure that none them got a dime. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Whites have been the most subsidized group in the history of the United States and maybe the history of the world, while Blacks were enslaved and were the assets of Whites. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Native Americans were driven off their land. Lincoln even took part in the Black Hawk campaign against the Native Americans in Illinois. While they were being exterminated and driven off their land, Whites were collecting assets. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
The treatment of African and African American culture in our education was no different from their treatment in Tarzan movies. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
American cultural institutions seem so bent on preserving the values of "Western civilization," the mythical "Whitetown," that welearn about one another's cultures the same way we learn about sex: in the streets. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Statistic: the us bureau of missing persons reports
that in 1968 over 100,000 people disappeared
leaving no solid clues
nor traceonly
a space
in the lives of their friends. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
You take the lead. He'll open up more easily to a copper than a mumbo jumbo man ~ Val McDermid
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Val McDermid
Phillip Roth uses his Black women characters to make anti intellectual remarks about Black history month, begun by a man who reached intellectual heights that Roth will never attain.Roth is a petty bigot and his ignorant remarks about black culture expose him as a buffoon to scholars the world over. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Richard Price got a million dollar advance on one fake film book based on a paragraph outline and is able to seduce gullible White reviewers who know less about ghetto life than he. The New York Times has devoted more space to Price's tourist, ghetto writing than to any Black writer in history. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I have the strong impression that scientific communication is being seriously hindered by poor quality abstracts written in jargon- ridden mumbo jumbo. ~ Sheila M. McNab
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Sheila M. McNab
As for [Amiri] Baraka, he and I have disagreements. I mean, he becomes a demagogue when there's an audience. He's a nice guy in private. I mean I like the guy; he's a terrific writer. I've published two of his books. Baraka is one of these fundamentalists who is prone to idol worship. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I'd like to see someone try to make Cush Jumbo up. It's my real name. ~ Cush Jumbo
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Cush Jumbo
Richard Price, who has made a fortune writing fake ghetto books, says he takes a cab into the ghetto, transcribes Black speech for a brief time and returns home. His fake ghetto books have bought him a townhouse in Gramercy Park and home on Staten Island. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
The cultural wars of the sixties are over. I've reconciled with those who were my critics and opponents years ago. I was at odds with some those who were Black nationalists. Yet when feminists attempted to end my career and leave me as literary road kill, it was the Black nationalists who came to my rescue. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
In Haitian mythology there is the figure Ghede, who in West Africa, is Iku, whose role is to show "each man his devil." He's represented by a figure wearing a top hat and smoking a cigar. That's my gig. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I think that when people like you , Mr. Von Vampton, say "The Negro Experience" you are saying that all Negroes experience the world the same way. In that way you can isolate the misfits who would propel them into penetrating the ceiling of this bind you and your assistants have established in this country. The ceiling above which no slave would be allowed to penetrate without stirring the kept bloodhounds. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Have you ever seen people line up outside a Van Gogh exhibit? When they get inside there are so many they can't even see the paintings, they just pass by like sheep or like mourners passing the tomb of a fallen hero, a bier, with the same solemnity. And the extent of their knowledge concerning Van Gogh is that he "cut off his ear." Man, it's religion they make it into. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
The liberal wing of the feminist movement may have improved the lives of its middle- and upper-class constituency
indeed, 1992 was the Year of the White Middle Class Woman
but since the leadership of this faction of the feminist movement has singled out black men as the meta-enemy of women, these women represent one of the most serious threats to black male well-being since the Klan. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I don't know why people always compare me [ with Amiri Baraka] I was never part of the Black Arts Repertory Theater or the Black Arts Movement; people who claim that I was are wrong. I was downtown. I was living in Chelsea when they were operating in Harlem. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Do you think that Gwendolyn Brooks would give an award to someone who hated Black women, the lie that was circulated throughout New York and reached all the way down to Martinique where I was a guest Professor? The lie was circulated by people who don't read my books. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Men praise poverty, as the African worships Mumbo Jumbo
from terror of the malign power, and a desire to propitiate at. ~ Alexander Smith
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Alexander Smith
Constance L. Rice, co-director of the Los Angeles of the Advancement Project, told the Times that Seltzer might have been influenced by David Simon's fake ghetto series, "The Wire." It figures. Isn't this sexism? Isn't this a double standard? They're hard on this young woman for her fake ghetto book, yet praise these White guys for theirs. So there's a big market in downing Black men. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
How does the [New York] Times treat White pathology? They reported an epidemic of heroin addiction in the Philadelphia suburbs. which included emergency admissions and overdoses; these White people in the suburbs were doing heroin like it was going out of style. I counted the words: the article consisted of 200 words. "Heroin Epidemic" in the back section. Out here in California, the typical drug addict is a housewife or suburban White woman. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Global warming has long since passed from scientific hypothesis to the realm of pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo. ~ David Deming
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by David Deming
It is an absurd and silly notion that international credit must be limited to the quantity of gold dug up out of the ground. Was there ever such mumbo-jumbo among sensible and reasonable men? ~ Liaquat Ahamed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Liaquat Ahamed
If the British prose style is Churchillian, America is the tobacco auctioneer, the barker; Runyon, Lardner, W.W., the traveling salesman who can sell the world the Brooklyn Bridge every day, can put anything over on you and convince you that tomatoes grow at the South Pole. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I've always wondered why European politicians as a group seemed brighter than American politicians as a group. Maybe it's becausemany American politicians have the race issue to fall back on. They become lazy, suspicious of innovative ideas, and as a result American institutions atrophy. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
The facts come eventually, one of her professors had told their class. but before that, there is instinct. it's not mumbo-jumbo -- we are animals, after all, and instinct is just a tool in our species survival kit. ~ Alyssa Cole
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Alyssa Cole
The last publicized center of American writing was Manhattan. Its writers became known as the New York Intellectuals. With important connections to publishing, and universities, with access to the major book reviews, they were able to pose as the vanguard of American culture when they were so obsessed with the two Joes
McCarthy and Stalin
that they were to produce only two artists, Saul Bellow and Philip Roth, who left town. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I was on a panel with light skinned Blacks and a famous gay science fiction writer, who were complaining about how Blacks are against gays and light skinned Blacks and how intolerant Blacks are of different groups. My position was that Blacks were among the most humanistic, tolerant groups in the country and that across the street from my house in Oakland was one inhabited by White gays. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
If you say someone is good, at something, what is your benchmark? Who are you comparing them with? When evaluating capability, or success, in anything, don't listen to mumbo-jumbo rubbish. ~ Strive Masiyiwa
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Strive Masiyiwa
I reached the age of 70, because I have cultivated an association of multicultural intellectuals who are informed and alert to whatever "tricknology" that's laid on us by the powers that be. These include White ethnic intellectuals- people who know their roots- as well as Native American, Asian American, Hispanic and Black intellectuals. These are thirty, forty-year associations with some of the best minds around. Minds that are ignored by the media. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
But what have Cortes and Pizarro or the others to do with me?

You carry them in your blood as I carry the blood of Montezume; expeditions of them are harbored by your heart and your mind carries their supply trains. You've changed your helmet for a frontier hat while I have changed my robes for overalls and a black leather jacket. The costumes may have changed but the blood is still the same, gringo. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
When I say Afro-American aesthetic, I'm not just talking about the United States, I'm talking about the Americas. People in the Latin countries read my books because they share the same international aesthetic that I'm into and have been into for a long time. And it's multicultural. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Hateful material travels the globe. A few years ago, CNN, America's Der Sturmer, ran a story about Black parents being so low down that they abandoned their children and the children had to eat rats. I was at a University in Wisconsin at the time and the mother of a student from South Africa called to see whether the story was true. She had seen it all the way over there. The story was untrue. The children lied. CNN never corrected the story. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Education, the great mumbo jumbo and fraud of the age purports to equip us to live and is prescribed as a universal remedy for everything from juvenile delinquency to premature senility. ~ Malcolm Muggeridge
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Malcolm Muggeridge
Howard University holds something called "Heart's Day," an all day ceremony in which a writer is honored. I was the recipient of this honor. It's a wonderful ceremony that Eleanor Traylor chair of English at Howard University organizes for writers. Writers from around the country came to pay tribute to my work. It was very flattering. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I'm a huge fan of meditation. I know lots of people assume meditation to be some Buddhist mumbo-jumbo, but it's been scientifically documented to create therapeutic changes in the brain. ~ Karen Salmansohn
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Karen Salmansohn
I was roommates with 2 of the guys who were influential in forming the Black Arts philosophy. I called them "goons," and [Amiri] Baraka took offense at that. But if you read his autobiography, the night we went up there for a fundraiser, he talks about how he wished that some violence would happen to us. How do you like Baraka as a gracious host? ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I got the impression under the mumbo-jumbo that she'd gotten the hint Cormac was maybe into something a league or two worse than half-cut seances and excuses to get a little naughty while some incense burns and call it an occult mystery. ~ Alan Bligh
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Alan Bligh
What do people get from all that devil mumbo-jumbo anyway?" "A sense of purpose, I guess." "They could volunteer at an animal shelter instead." "Yes, sir. But then they wouldn't get to have group sex while wearing goat horns or kill people for fun. ~ Dean Koontz
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Dean Koontz
Capital investment in fixed assets that produce real goods is the actual driver of long term economic growth, and until slick financiers hijacked the country with 'new economy' mumbo-jumbo based on computer models and hype most Americans understood this. ~ Richard Karn
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Richard Karn
Being holistic doesn't mean mumbling mystical mumbo-jumbo all the time, it means seeing the reality as it is, without giving in to either supernatural nonsense or intellectual arrogance. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Come Judgment Day, we may find that Mumbo Jumbo the God of the Congo was the Big Boss all along. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
He had never told her just what he thought of the value of prayer and all the rest of the self-deluding mumbo jumbo with which otherwise rational people tried to humanize the cosmos. Man had created God in his own image, not the other way around. ~ Richard Herley
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Richard Herley
Amie frowned. 'That's what I can't figure out. I mean everyone wants their happy ending, right? No one cares about reading actual literature anymore anyway. All they want is vampires and supernatural mumbo-jumbo. It's sick, really. ~ Jennifer Silverwood
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Jennifer Silverwood
It's not that I literally believe in magic or spirits. In my logical life I absolutely don't believe in any kind of mumbo jumbo. But I do have this belief in the greater magic of the universe. ~ Aoife O'Donovan
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Aoife O'Donovan
With a name like Cush Jumbo, you never get forgotten. The 'Jumbo' is from my father, who is Nigerian, and 'Cush' was a king in ancient Egypt. It's a name that took a few years to grow into, but now I feel it was meant to be. It's absolutely who I am, and I love it. ~ Cush Jumbo
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Cush Jumbo
David Simon [the creator of The Wire] and I have a running controversy for years. It all stems from a telephone call I made to KPFA [Pacifica radio] when he was a guest there in the 90's on Chris Welche's show. He was going around the country with a Black kid from the Ghetto to promote something called The Corner - it was all about Blacks as degenerates selling drugs, etc. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
I'm a priest, not a priestess. Priestess implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world
it's better than being invisible. ~ Carter Heyward
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Carter Heyward
Two of the great leaders of the past - Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass - had White fathers - who deserted them. Now Margo Jefferson, who is hard on me and the fellas, wrote in the Times that she has nocturnal, erotic fantasies about John Wayne. What's up with these feminists? Do you see these double standards these feminists have? They dream about John Wayne, but they're hard on us [Black men]. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
What I can't understand why Blacks can't achieve royal status when it comes to forms that they have largely created? I mean there's a White King of Rock n' Roll, there's a White King of Jazz, how come we can never achieve titles of royalty in these fields we are supposed to prevail in? They held a so called Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the other night, where White judges credit people who resemble them with the invention of Rock and Roll. I didn't even see Blacks in the audience. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
Where our knowledge of beauty harmonizes with the ludus naturae, sorcery begins.
No, not spoon-bending or horoscopy, not the Golden Dawn or make-believe shamanism, astral projection or the Satanic Mass
if it's mumbo jumbo you want go for the real stuff, banking, politics, social science
not that weak blavatskian crap. ~ Hakim Bey
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Hakim Bey
You see actors who make family work, but it's difficult for any woman. ~ Cush Jumbo
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Cush Jumbo
Poverty is worse than nightmares. You can wake up from nightmares. ~ Ishmael Beah
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Beah
Circumstances will change and things will be fine, just hold on a little more ~ Ishmael Beah
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Beah
This days one must be careful to avoid awakening the pain of another. ~ Ishmael Beah
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Beah
We all knew that we could grieve only for a short while in order to continue staying alive. ~ Ishmael Beah
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Beah
I've learnt that you never know what is around the corner, so it's best to enjoy the ride. ~ Cush Jumbo
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Cush Jumbo
I'd much rather play the psycho than the pretty girl in hot pants. ~ Cush Jumbo
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Cush Jumbo
Being a monk was the strangest and most perverted way of life imaginable. Monks spent half their lives putting themselves through pain and discomfort that they could easily avoid, and the other half muttering meaningless mumbo jumbo in empty churches at all hours of the day and night. They deliberately shunned anything good - girls, sports, feasting and family life. ~ Ken Follett
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ken Follett
61 lynchings occurred in 1920 alone. In 1921, 62, some of the victims, soldiers returning from the Great War who after fighting and winning significant victories - just as they had fought in the Revolutionary and Civil wars and the wars again the Indians - thought that America would repay them for the generosity of putting their lives on the line, for aiding in salvaging their hides from the Kaiser who had been tagged "enemy" this time. Instead, a Protestant country ignorant even of Western mysteries executes soldiers after a manner of punishments dealt to witches in the "Middle Ages." Europe and the Catholic Church are horrified but not surprised at this "tough guy" across the waters whose horrendous murders in Salem led Europe to reform its "witch laws. ~ Ishmael Reed
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Reed
The sun's brightness painted our shadows on the ground. ~ Ishmael Beah
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Beah
And tell me, Perseus Jackson"--I flinched when he said my real name, which I never told anybody--"what will people think of your 'science' two thousand years from now?" Mr. D continued. "Hmm? They will call it primitive mumbo jumbo. That's what. Oh, I love mortals--they have absolutely no sense of perspective. They think they've come so-o-o far. ~ Rick Riordan
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Rick Riordan
This was one of the consequences of the civil war. People stopped trusting each other, and every stranger became an enemy. ~ Ishmael Beah
Ishmael Reed Mumbo Jumbo quotes by Ishmael Beah
