In the postcolonial era, students and non-students are being treated to well-crafted poems about the emancipation of Africans. The poems have splendid flavors and the messages are quite suiting. Scholars have grown up appreciative of the nurture and experiences they have enjoyed reading these poems. What has been missed is the fact that some of the poems are flawed. Examples are Sedar Senghor’s “Black Woman” and David Diop’s “Africa My Africa.” The approach of the negritude poems towards cultural independence is misleading. Negritude engages in the celebration of African cultures and traditions. It is a movement whose goals are to project specifically the triumphs and remarkable aspects of Africa and its people. Negritude’s main instrument is the word negro, which is black in English. Negro or black denotes negativity most of the time. Its opposite is white, a cherubic color. Negritude now undertakes to switch the natures and attributes of white against black. The idea has left peoples of African descent more vulnerable. This research creates awareness about the dangers of what negritude has planted. It educates Africans about the harm in building on an arrangement devised by racists, who carefully led Africans into believing black identity is harmless. Through analysis of the poems, the work seeks the eradication of the black identity, choosing African or someone’s ethnicity as identity. The writer discovered, while living in Europe, the untruths about blackness. Materials for the research work were obtained from newspaper publications, books and journal articles.
