The basic tenet of black consciousness is that the black man must reject all value systems that seek to make him a foreigner in the country of his birth and reduce his basic human dignity.

In all fields black consciousness seeks to talk to the black man in a language that is his own

The logic behind white domination is to prepare the black man for the subservient role in this country.

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

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.

Black man, you are on your own.

This is white man's integration, an integration based on exploitative values

We believe in the inherent goodness of man.

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
