There are those who believe Black people possess the secret of joy and that it is this that will sustain them through any spiritual or moral or physical devastation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I see many black males grasping for some thread of hope. There are so many destructive practices, glimpses into a psychic abyss. That must be very frightening.
I find, in being black, a thing of beauty: a joy; a strength; a secret cup of gladness.
I speak to the black experience, but I am always talking about the human condition.
Sadly, black people disassociate ourselves from the things which make us who we are, identifying them as lesser, or inferior. It's a form of self hate. So, with reckless abandon, we strive to be like the majority.
I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love.
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.
Over the generations, black leaders have ranged from noble souls to shameless charlatans.
Black Consciousness seeks to infuse the black community with a new-found pride in themselves, their efforts, their value systems, their culture, their religion and their outlook to life.
There are many positive things to say about the black community. No question about it.
I think that black people, to a degree, need to have a certain level of dexterity. If we want to be at the highest level of whatever our field is, we have to be able to navigate both worlds. We all just know that you gotta be able to put that suit on and have a conversation with people that don't look like you or your family.
