men black fields
In all fields black consciousness seeks to talk to the black man in a language that is his own
country men white
The logic behind white domination is to prepare the black man for the subservient role in this country.
hero past men
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
brother men essence
Black Consciousness is in essence the realization by the black man of the need to rally together with his brothers around the cause of their oppression.
men black black-consciousness
Black man, you are on your own.
men white integration
This is white man's integration, an integration based on exploitative values
believe men goodness
We believe in the inherent goodness of man.
men long add
We are experiencing new problems every day and whatever we do adds to the richness of our cultural heritage as long as it has man as its centre
heart men chains
If one is free at heart, no man-made chains can bind one to servitude.
beautiful men black
When you say 'Black is beautiful' you are saying, 'Man you are okay as you are, begin to look upon yourself as a human being'.
men land people
We do not want to be reminded that it is we, the indigenous people, who are poor and exploited in the land of our birth. These are concepts which the Black Consciousness approach wishes to eradicate from the black man's mind before our society is driven to chaos by irresponsible people from Coca-cola and hamburger cultural backgrounds.
men black students
We must realise that prophetic cry of black students: Black man you are on your own!
men evil black
To a large extent the evil-doers have succeeded in producing at the output end of their machine a kind of black man who is man only in form. This is the extent to which the process of dehumanization has advanced.
brother men community
We regard our living together not as an unfortunate mishap warranting endless competition among us but as a deliberate act of God to make us a community of brothers and sisters jointly involved in the quest for a composite answer to the varied problems of life. Hence in all we do we always place man first and hence all our action is usually joint community oriented action rather than the individualism..
