[Educated blacks] Society refuses to consider them genuine Negroes. The Negro is a savage, whereas the student is civilized. 'You're us,' and if anyone thinks you are a Negro he is mistaken, because you merely look like one. Frantz Fanon

is endowed with double-consciousness, the experience of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, always measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.

It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. W. E. B. Du Bois

is guaranteed the rights of the declaration of independence for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but like most other republicans, he opposed granting blacks the rights to vote, sit on juries, hold public office, or intermarry with whites.

Like most other Republicans, he opposed granting blacks the rights to vote, sit on juries, hold public office, or intermarry with whites. Blacks were equal, he said, to all men in their freedom to earn the just rewards for the work they did rather than to have those earnings confiscated by tyrants, kings, and slavemasters.

is outside of history in that he is characterized mainly by his savagery and unbridledness, incapable of development and education, frozen just as he has always been.

For Hegel, the negro lives outside history and is incapable of development. he writes: 'From all these different features we can conclude that the main characteristics of the Negro are his savagery and unbridledness.

is the man that exhibits 'the natural man in his completely wild and untamed state. Thus, to comprehend him, one must put aside any consideration about morality and feeling as there is nothing harmonious with humanity to be found in this type of character.

Indeed, for Hegel the Negro is the man that exhibits 'the natural man in his completely wild and untamed state' (Hegel, 93). For this reason, to comprehend him, one must put aside any consideration about reverence and morality, that means any consideration about feeling. Hegel states abruptly: 'There's nothing harmonious with humanity to be found in this type of character' (Hegel, 93).1And, because moral sentiments do not exist among the Negroes, they are not only responsible for being slaves:'Through the pervading influence of slavery [inside of Africa] all those bonds of moral regard which we cherish towards each other disappear, and it does not occur to the Negro mind to expect from others what we are enabled to claim' (Hegel, 96).
