Apartheid - both petty and grand - is obviously evil.

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'.

Change the way people think and things will never be the same

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.

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.

Being black is not a matter of pigmentation - being black is a reflection of a mental attitude.

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.
