The philosophy of Black Consciousness therefore expresses group pride and the determination of the black to rise and attain the envisaged self....

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

This is the highest step and the summit of charity's golden ladder.
