Black Consciousness Is An Attitude Of The Mind And A Way Of Life, The Most Positive Call To Emanate From The Black World For A Long Time. Its Essence Is The Realisation By The Black Man Of The Need To Rally Together With His Brothers Around The Cause Of Their Oppression - The Blackness Of Their Skin - And To Operate As A Group To Rid Themselves Of The Shackles That Bind Them To Perpetual Servitude.

The Myth Of Integration As Propounded Under The Banner Of The Liberal Ideology Must Be Cracked Because It Makes People Believe That Something Is Being Achieved When In Reality The Artificially Integrated Circles Are A Soporfic To The Blacks While Salving The Consciences Of The Few Guilt-stricken Whites.

Black Consciousness Therefore Takes Cognizance Of The Deliberateness Of God's Plan In Creating Black People Black.

Merely By Describing Yourself As Black You Have Started On A Road Towards Emancipation, You Have Committed Yourself To Fight Against All Forces That Seek To Use Your Blackness As A Stamp That Marks You Out As A Subservient Being.

Tradition Has It That Whenever A Group Of People Has Tasted The Lovely Fruits Of Wealth, Security And Prestige It Begins To Find It More Comfortable To Believe In The Obvious Lie And Accept That It Alone Is Entitled To Privilege.
