Frantz Fanon

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
There is a point at which methods devour themselves.
Frantz Fanon
Certain things need to be said if one is to avoid falsifying the problem.
Frantz Fanon
It is the white man who creates the Negro. But it is the negro who creates negritude.
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
