Mindset or psychology of racism by Frantz Fanon, a psychiatrist ,black post-colonial thinker.
The book looks at the condition which goes through the minds of Blacks and Whites.
If you do, not learn the White men’s language than you are unintelligent.
The White men: Always Black, never fully human.
no matterhow much education they have or well they act.
White men's fear: Black men are viewed as mindless, violent, animal being.
White men thinks that they will take White women from them.
The right to demand human behaviour from the other.
The duty to never let his decision renounce his freedom.
One last prayer:
O my body, alwaysmake me a man who questions!
