Chapter 5:The Lived Experience of the Black Man.
Frantz Fanon wants to be a man. But in white world in
which he lives his skin colour becomes everything more
important than even his education and achievements.
He is seen not as Dr. Fanon but as a black man who is a
doctor.
White people do not see him, they see his body.
“Always a Negro, never a man.”
Black knows what white’s are thinking about them and
Whites feel that they are superior and blacks are inferior.
Fanon:
A feeling of inferiority ?
No, a feeling of not existing
Sin is black as virtue is white.
