Steve Biko Quotes
Double Consciousness Is Knowing The Particularity Of The White World In The Face Of Its Enforced Claim To Universality. Double Consciousness Is Knowing The History Offered Up To Black People - Its Many Interpretations And Echoes Of White Superiority And Black Inferiority, Of White Heroism And Black Cowardice, And Even The Temporal And Geographical Location Of History's Beginning As A Step Off Of The African Continent - Is A Falsehood That Blacks Are Forced To Treat As Truth In So Many Countless Ways. Double Consciousness, In Other Words, Is Knowing A Lie While Living Its Contradiction.
