ABSTRACT

The adoption of Black Consciousness Philosophy (BCP) aligns that the operational politics of most world religions have been hinged on the values of integral humanism to be based on the understanding of people's culture. This is done through the moral advocacies for love, peace and justice, irrespective of one's racial affiliation and coloration, and for the Blacks, this is long pushed for the realization of African Sustainable Development (ASD), which has not achievable due to the influences of the Politics of Antiblack Culture (PAC). Problematically, the western dominance over some other racial entities and economies has long indicated that religion has been away from being for the attainment of human salvation, especially in relation to the respect for African (Black) humanism and its sense of hope and salvation. This is evident from the influences of the illogical socio-economic consciousness of PAC by Whiteness of History. By such conviction, one can only be saved by believing in western religions. BCP also precipitates that the political and socio-economic operationality of foreign religions, especially Christianity and Islam, have been towards the sustainability of the Culture of War as against the Culture of Peace in Africa, as associated with the influences of religious particularism, bigotry, fanaticism, isolationism and escapism. Adopting the phenomenological method of analysis, the essay concludes that the values of African humanism has been undermine by anti-development policies of PAC through usage of religions, especially the political operationalities of Christianity and Islam, as against the promotion of African Traditional Religions (ATRs), and it will be as a measure of African civilization, where the Whiteness of History contemporarily presents an imposing relativistic, hedonistic and nihilistic consciousness for development to imperialistically that have been undermining the growth of Blackness of History
