Quotes
zenciler süper adam olamaz yalnızca canavar olabilirler! beyaz adam gibi ol!
''My body was given back to me sprawled out, distorted, recolored, clad in mourning in that white winter day.
the Negro is an animal, the Negro is bad, the Negro is mean, the Negro is ugly; look, a nigger, it's cold, the nigger is shivering because he is cold, the little boy is trembling because he is afraid of the nigger, the nigger is shivering with cold, that cold that goes through your bones, the handsome little boy is trembling because he thinks that the nigger is quivering with rage, the little boy throws himself into his mother's arms: ''Mama, the nigger's going to eat me up''

difference of Marx
Liberal thinkers have clasically taken as their starting point the notion that human beings should be conceived of as autonomous rational individuals who should be allowed to exercise their judgment free unnecessary constraints so as to enable them to best to follow and fulfil their interests. Marx took exception with the liberal idea of human nature: for Marx, individuals must be understood not as ''abstract individuals'' but as fundamentally social beings tied to their natural and social environment.

Fanon and European subjectivity
All the Mediterranean values, the triumph of the individual, of enlightenment and Bauty turm into pale, lifeless trinkets. All those discourses appear a jumble of dead words. Those values which seemed to ennoble the soul prove worthless because they have nothing in common with the real life struggle in which people are engaged.

liberals.. they always fall in love with invisible things...
It is the sense then that their violence is of a different sort -one backed by Reason- that allows modern liberals to support colonial interventions in seemingly illiberal countries in order to promote democracy, foster human rights, promote sustainable development, rescue women or many other such causes. Empire and modern liberalism not only go hand in hand but it is this intimacy and complicity between the two that makes the indignity of colonialism invisible to the modern liberal.
