In the book Race Matters by Cornell West, he talks about Malcolm X's and he states that under the notion of psychic conversation, which is an implicit critique of Dubois's idea of double-consciousness, Malcolm says that "black people must no longer view themselves through white lenses. He claims black people will never value themselves as long as they subscribe to a standard of valuation that devalues them."" In that he means by looking at yourself the way whites see you, you have no pride in yourself because they whites don't view you as human. Therefore he is telling blacks that looking at yourself the way whites view you, you also see yourself a non-human. Cornell West goes on to state that "For Malcolm X this "double-consciousness- pertains more to those black people who live "betwixt and between- the black and white worlds ¾traversing the borders between them yet never settled in either."" From there he talks on how Malcolm X describes this with the house negro (who loves and protects the white master and the field negro (who hates and resists the white master). I feel that Cornell uses these examples by Malcolm X to stress the point of Dubois's notion of "double-consciousness."" The reason I feel this way is because it seems as though the field negro is wearing the veil that DuBois talked about where nothing was wrong with the racism that was going on around him because he is not in constant contact with the master. Where on the other hand the house negro is under constant watch by the master and like Malcolm X wanted to resist and separate from him. Cornell West goes on to talk about Malcolm X's notion of psychic conversion. He states that "Malcolm X's notion of psychic conversion can be understood and used such that it does not necessarily entail black supremacy; it simply rejects black captivity to white supremacist ideology and practice."" In that he means that Malcolm was not looking to have a complete take over in society by bla!.
