What is color?
• Color is a fact. • Whether you are black or white, you have to
accept certain limitations.• Color here is a mental state.• “The white man is sealed in his whiteness. The
black man in his blackness.”• There are no binaries, desire is common to all.

Fanon begins his work with the idea of humanism.
“Towards a new humanism Understanding among men Our colored brothers Mankind, I believe in you… Race prejudice To understand to love.”
