Hate demands existence, and he who hates has to show his hate in appropriate actions and behaviors in a sense, he has to become hate. That is why the Americans have substituted discrimination for lynching.

More quotes by Frantz Fanon
There is a point at which methods devour themselves.
Frantz Fanon
Two centuries ago, a former European colony decided to catch up with Europe. It succeeded so well that the United States of America became a monster, in which the taints, the sickness and the inhumanity of Europe have grown to appalling dimensions
Frantz Fanon
For Europe, for ourselves and for humanity, comrades, we must turn over a new leaf, we must work out new concepts, and try to set afoot a new man.
Frantz Fanon
I, the man of color, want only this: That the tool never possess the man. That the enslavement of man by man cease forever. That is, of one by another. That it be possible for me to discover and to love man, wherever he may be.
Frantz Fanon
It is the white man who creates the Negro. But it is the negro who creates negritude.
Frantz Fanon
The misfortune of the man of color is having been enslaved. The misfortune and inhumanity of the white man are having killed man somewhere.
Frantz Fanon
Certain things need to be said if one is to avoid falsifying the problem.
Frantz Fanon
Violence is a cleansing force. It frees the native from his inferiority complex and from his despair and inaction it makes him fearless and restores his self-respect
Frantz Fanon
When I search for Man in the technique and the style of Europe, I see only a succession of negations of man, and an avalanche of murders.
Frantz Fanon
For the black man there is only one destiny. And it is white.
Frantz Fanon
When we revolt it’s not for a particular culture. We revolt simply because, for many reasons, we can no longer breathe.
Frantz Fanon
I ascribe a basic importance to the phenomenon of language. To speak means to be in a position to use a certain syntax, to grasp the morphology of this or that language, but it means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization.
Frantz Fanon
The gaze that the colonized subject casts at the colonist's sector is a look of lust, a look of envy. Dreams of possession. Every type of possession of sitting at the colonist's table and sleeping in his bed, preferably with his wife. The colonized man is an envious man.
Frantz Fanon
National liberation, national renaissance, the restoration of nationhood to the people, commonwealth: whatever may be the headings used or the new formulas introduced, decolonization is always a violent phenomenon.
Frantz Fanon
However painful it may be for me to accept this conclusion, I am obliged to state it: for the black man there is only one destiny. And it is white.
Frantz Fanon
Each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it, in relative opacity.
Frantz Fanon
We believe that an individual must endeavor to assume the universalism inherent in the human condition.
Frantz Fanon
Violence is man re-creating himself.
Frantz Fanon
Fervor is the weapon of choice for the impotent.
Frantz Fanon
The basic confrontation which seemed to be colonialism versus anti-colonialism, indeed capitalism versus socialism, is already losing its importance. What matters today, the issue which blocks the horizon, is the need for a redistribution of wealth. Humanity will have to address this question, no matter how devastating the consequences may be.
