On revolting: “When we revolt it’s not for a particular culture. We revolt simply because, for many reasons, we can no longer breathe.” -Frantz Fanon, Wretched of the Earth

On hatred and racism: “Negrophobes exist. It is not hatred of the Negro, however, that motivates them; they lack the courage for that, or they have lost it. Hate is not inborn; it has to be constantly cultivated, to be brought into being, in conflict with more or less recognized guilt complexes. Hate demands existence and he who hates has to show his hate in appropriate actions and behavior; in a sense, he has to become hate. That is why Americans have substituted discrimination for lynching. Each to his own side of the street.” - Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks
