I'm Going To Be Me As I

Part Of The Approach Envisaged In Bringing About Black Consciousness Has To Be Directed To The Past, To Seek To Rewrite The History Of The Black Man And To Produce In It The Heroes Who Form The Core Of The African Background

Sure There Are A Few Good Whites Just As Much As There Are A Few Bad Blacks. However What We Are Concerned Here With Is Group Attitudes And Group Politics. The Exception Does Not Make A Lie Or The Rule - It Merely Substantiates It.

You Are Either Alive And Proud Or You Are Dead, And When You Are Dead, You Can't Care Anyway.

It Becomes More Necessary To See The Truth As It Is If You Realise That The Only Vehicle For Change Are These People Who Have Lost Their Personality. The First Step Therefore Is To Make The Black Man Come To Himself; To Pump Back Life Into His Empty Shell; To Infuse Him With Pride And Dignity, To Remind Him Of His Complicity In The Crime Of Allowing Himself To Be Misused And Therefore Letting Evil Reign Supreme In The Country Of His Birth.

What Black Consciousness Seeks To Do Is To Produce Real Black People Who Do Not Regard Themselves As Appendages To White Society. We Do Not Need To Apologise For This Because It Is True That The White Systems Have Produced Through The World A Number Of People Who Are Not Aware That They Too Are People.
