In the first paragraph, DuBois states that because Black people live in
America, they possess a second sight. America is a world which yields him
no true self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the
revelation of the other world." The term coined for this phenomenon is
double consciousness. Which would be the best explanation for this term?
A Black people only being aware of their African heritage
B Not wishing to be seen as either Black, nor American
C Being able to understand oneself based upon how others see him/her
D Never embracing American ideals, since American enslaved Black people
