Quote
 “Taking the continent as a whole, this religious tension may be responsible
for the revival of the commonest racial feeling. Africa is divided into Black
and White, and the names that are substituted- Africa south of the Sahara,
Africa north of the Sahara- do not manage to hide this latent racism. Here, it
is affirmed that White Africa has a thousand-year-old tradition of culture;
that she is Mediterranean, that she is a continuation of Europe and that she
shares in Graeco-Latin civilization. Black Africa is looked on as a region that
is inert, brutal, uncivilized - in a word, savage.”- Frantz Fanon Frantz Fanon 3
