Yes the political orientation is. but why must we blow our clip seeking for our racial individuality. heritage. and civilization? Why waste our cherished clip seeking for racial individuality. when we could utilize that clip to contend for equality between the races? You tell us. when we find our racial individuality what so must we make with it? Continue to be restricted from making certain things and traveling certain topographic points because of our racial line? I agree with Du Bois’s statement. that racial designation is a hinderance and that it distracts us from the more of import end of contending for equality between the races. It limits us from many things such as ; instruction and occupations. Racial designation puts us in a caste system. every bit good as causes us to endure favoritism. Why continue to let individuals to endure? We must contend for equality so that everyone can be equal. so that we can halt favoritism. and destruct the caste system.

How can we contend for equality if we don’t cognize who we are as an person or as a race? Negritude makes inkinesss or individuals of African descent aware of their individuality. heritage. and civilization. Racial designation should non be a fuss to individuals of African descent. what should be a hinderance is contending for equality between the races. It’s like contending for universe peace ; it’s non traveling to go on. Why blow our clip contending for something we know won’t go on? We can utilize that clip to happen out about our civilization. heritage. and racial background. “If you work hard and run into your duties. you can acquire in front no affair where you come from what you look like or who you love. ” stated Barak Obama. the first black American president. Therefore it’s non our racial individuality keeping us back. it’s us keeping ourselves back!

I somewhat agree and disagree with the statement made by the resistance. I agree that we shouldn’t blasted racial designation for keeping us back. but blasted ourselves for non being determined and difficult working. I disagree with the resistance saying that equality between the races will ne’er go on. They one time said a black adult male would ne’er be president. expression to this present day of the month Barak Obama is the first black president of The United States non for one but two footings. What I’m seeking to state is anything is possible one time we’re determined and difficult working. equipped with those accomplishments equality between the races can and will go on.

You think Barak Obama became president because he found his racial individuality? It was because of equality non merely between human existences but racial groups every bit good. Of class he besides became president due to his ; finding. difficult work. and educational background. If there wasn’t equality we would still be in the clip where inkinesss had no say in anything we weren’t even able to vote. where one racial group was dominant over the others. It didn’t matter how good your educational background was. if your tegument wasn’t the right colour you had no opportunity of acquiring the occupation. This is why equality should be of great importance to inkinesss and individuals of African descent. it gives us a opportunity to farther ourselves and see the universe like ne’er earlier.

In the construct of race W. E. B. Du Bois made reference of how he was discriminated on by his ain sort. “Then excessively. there were plentifulness of my coloured friends who resented my extremist “race” trueness and ridiculed it. They pointed out that was non “Negro. ” but a mulatto ; that I was non a Southerner but a Northerner. and my object was to be an American and non a Negro ; ” This bothered me because. individuals of the same race are know aparting one of their ain. This is why I raised the inquiry. why waste our cherished clip seeking for our civilization. heritage. and racial individuality? If when we find it we still know apart on our ain people. I’d call that lip service. wouldn’t you? Persons of the same race know aparting one of their ain because his tegument was a shadiness lighter than theirs. Yet once more this is why I say. equality should be the chief precedence to inkinesss and individuals of African descent. It takes off favoritism. it allows everyone to recognize that we are all equal no affair what racial group we belong to or what shadiness of colour our tegument is. but to remind us that we are all one.

Caste system in The Concept of Race was described to as a dark cave and prison by Du Bois. Exposing how entombed psyches are hindered in their development. look. and natural motion. That racial individuality acted as bonds around his pess. what is so amusing is that in Leopold Sedar Senghor Negritude: A Humanitarianism of the Twentieth Century Negritude was described as being an instrument of freedom. Negritude is non an instrument of release. but an political orientation that allows us to be cognizant of our racial individuality. heritage and civilization. Therefore Negritude is merely an thought that makes us cognizant of our race. nil more nil less. To destruct the caste system we need equality to let go of entombed psyches so they don’t be hindered from development. look. and natural motion every bit good as to interrupt the bond from around our pess so that we can be genuinely free.

Negritude: A Humanitarianism of the Twentieth Century was challenged by The construct of Race. I say this because in A Humanitarianism of the Twentieth Century Negritude was said to be an instrument of release but in The Concept of Race it acted as ironss around Du Bois pess. The Concept of Race challenges Negritude by saying that you suppose to be an instrument of freedom. but yet why do I still experience these bonds around my pess? Why’s my psyche still entombed and hindered? Why am I still enduring from favoritism? All these things are taking topographic point because there is no equality but merely an premise of freedom.

We must non blow our clip seeking for false freedom. but fight for equality between the races. We must halt leting racial individuality to restrict us. and battle for equality so that we have no restrictions. We must contend for equality to halt favoritism and put an terminal to the caste system. but most of all battle for equality for you. your kids and your children’s kids. So that the lone manner they know about the caste system and favoritism is what you tell them. Racial designation can wait. we must contend for equality now before it gets to late!
