Black nationalism formed a historical stage within a more universal consciousness.

Evidence

[T]he emotional expression of group-feeling which puzzles so many whites and leads them to deplore what they call “black chauvinism” is not a morbidly inherent trait of the Negro, but rather the reflex expression of a life whose roots are imbedded deeply in Southern soil. Negro writers must accept the nationalist implications of their lives… . [T]hey must accept the concept of nationalism because, in order to transcend it, they must possess and understand it. — Cedric J.

Ineluctably, resistance was propelled toward new forms, new consciousness, and new ideologies. — Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism_ The Making of the Black…, 1434 (#expands, via linked claim)
