Biko points out that Black Consciousness entails the rejection of the legacy of colonialism and white domination and it encourages blacks to build around themselves their own values, standards and outlook to life. Blacks should at least establish a solid base for meaningful co-operation amongst themselves in the larger battle of the Third World (Africa) against the rich nations (Western capitalists). The basic tenet of Black Consciousness is totality of involvement. It means that all blacks must sit as one big unit, and no fragmentation and distraction from the mainstream of events is to be allowed. What Black Consciousness seeks to do is to produce at the output end of the process real black people who do not regard themselves as appendages to white society.
