ABSTRACT
The "Black Consciousness" approach would be irrelevant in a colourless and non-exploitative egalitarian society. It is relevant here because people believe that an anomalous situation is a deliberate creation of man. The leaders of the white community had to create some kind of barrier between blacks and whites so that the whites could enjoy privileges at the expense of blacks and still feel free to give a moral justification for the obvious exploitation that pricked even the hardest of white consciences. A long look should also be taken at the educational system for blacks. The same tense situation was found as long ago as the arrival of the missionaries. The last step in Black Consciousness is to broaden the base or our operation. One of the basic tenets of Black Consciousness is totality of involvement. People have set out on a quest for true humanity, and somewhere on the distant horizon anyone can see the glittering prize.
