The black man is not a human being

Reading these ?#‎XenophobiaSA reports is maddening and saddening. Today I saw a picture So allow me to rant a little:

It has occurred to me that the black man is not a human BEING. Because he has failed to just BE. For so long he has seen himself as black. And nothing else. He has failed to develop his identity beyond that, his identity is always dependent on someone else's. There can be no black without white. There can be no dark skin without light skin. There can be no native without a foreigner. Because I don't know who I am, I can only define it by who I'm not.
