The Souls of Elite Black Folk: The Strivings of the New Negro and New African

The catastrophic ascension of the Europeans to the stage of world history entailed the launching of a race war against Africans, which is still raging to this day. This race war is multifaceted; however, its ultimate objective is the racial extermination of the Africans. In the interim period before the racial extermination of Africans, the Europeans have chosen to embark on a cruel project to "falsify African consciousness". This falsification is achieved through a process of culturicide. By the latter, we imply a form of "intellectual warfare" waged by the Europeans to confuse Africans, especially their most gifted members, about their African identity and culture to serve global white supremacy. The integrationist "double-consciousness" of the New Negros in America and the "New Africans" in South Africa is the highest stage of this intellectual warfare. The latter has resulted in the emergence of integrationist double-consciousness (which accepts whites and seeks to coexist with them) among the black elite, like Dubois, and revolutionary double-consciousness (which rejects both whites and white supremacy) among ordinary Africans both in America and South Africa. Using African phenomenological framework, this paper will argue that the integrationist double-consciousness of the black elite must be abandoned and replaced with the revolutionary double-consciousness of ordinary Africans such as Garveyites and amaqaba. This is in order to destroy whites and global white supremacy and to restore the African world-order premised on the principles of Maat as in ancient Kemet.
