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
Each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it, in relative opacity.
Frantz Fanon
Wealth is not the fruit of labor but the result of organized protected robbery.
Frantz Fanon
When people like me, they like me in spite of my color. When they dislike me they point out that it isn't because of my color. Either way, I am locked in to the infernal circle.
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.
Frantz Fanon

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
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
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
Violence is man re-creating himself.
Frantz Fanon
The oppressed will always believe the worst about themselves.
Frantz Fanon
Culture has never the translucidity of custom it abhors all simplification. In its essence it is opposed to custom, for custom is always the deterioration of culture.
Frantz Fanon
There is a point at which methods devour themselves.
Frantz Fanon
I want the world to recognize with me the open door of every consciousness
Frantz Fanon
Imperialism leaves behind germs of rot which we must clinically detect and remove from our land but from our minds as well.
