What does Malcolm X mean by the philosophy of “Black Nationalism” and how is this similar or diffrent from black conciousness

Explained Below

Explanation:

Malcolm X propagated the idea of Black nationalism.

Black nationalism promotes a political thought to develop a distinct black race identity which includes socio-political and economic development of Black Americans. It seeks to empower them so as to resist assimilation into the dominant white culture.

It is different from The Black Consciousness Movement (BCM), 1960s, South Africa. It emerged as a movement of political consciousness for Black people against the Apartheid system in South Africa.

Black consciousness supported the concept of White men embracing blackness but not emerge as leaders, they could assist but not govern in its political pursuit. However, Black Nationalism of Malcom X completely denied the association of White men into Black Politics.   He propagated an independent political thought of its own to preserve Black rights and racial identity.
