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

It becomes more necessary to see the truth as it is if you realize that the only vehicle for change are these people who have lost their personality.
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.
What irritates me is the bland way people go around saying, 'Oh, our attitude has changed. We don't dislike these people any more.' But by the strangest coincidence, they haven't taken away the injustice the laws are still on the books.
Becoming an author changes your attitude too. Once you see where books come from, and how they're made, they never seem quite as sacred again.
