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.

More From Frantz Fanon

Ecclesiastes names thee almighty, the maccabees name thee creator, the epistle to the ephesians names thee liberty, baruch names thee immensity, the psalms name thee wisdom and truth, john names thee light, the book of kings names thee lord, exodus names thee providence, leviticus sanctity, esdras justice, creation names thee god, man names thee father; but solomon names thee compassion, which is the most beautiful of all thy names.

Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. south-south-west, south, south-east, east.

Were we to still be circumcising the hood of the female clitoris, we would not have difficulty considering this a continuation of our tradition to keep girls sexually repressed. america's reflexive continuation of [male] circumcision-without-research reflects the continuation of our tradition to desensitize boys to feelings of pain, to prepare them to question the disposability of their bodies no more than they would question the disposability of their foreskins.

When i was in government, the south african economy was growing at 4.5% - 5%. but then came the global financial crisis of 2008/2009, and so the global economy shrunk. that hit south africa very hard, because then the export markets shrunk, and that includes china, which has become one of the main trade partners with south africa. also, the slowdown in the chinese economy affected south africa. the result was that during that whole period, south africa lost something like a million jobs because of external factors.

I don't think it's my responsibility, but i definitely try to create my own projects that are latin-based with a latin crew and latin cast. i try to give all my characters latin names whenever i can and make sure that they are of latin heritage. but that does not work with every project.

I am not a republican, nor a democrat, nor an american, and got sense enough to know it. i am one of the 22 million black victims of the democrats, and one of the 22 million black victims of the republicans, and one of the 22 million black victims of americanism... you and i have never seen democracy; all we've seen is hypocracy... if you go to jail, so what? if you're black, you were born in jail. if you're black, you were born in jail, in the north as well as the south. stop talking about the south. long as you south of the canadian border, you're south.

First of all, greece won't go down. we're talking about a country that is capable of making change. europe will not allow the destabilization of the 27-country euro zone. but if there were no action, then markets would start becoming jittery about other countries - and not only spain and portugal, but other countries in the european union.

Talking things over has its place in an organization [but] so-called conferences are being grossly overdone. one executive stops at the desk of another to tell him, perhaps, about the wonderful score he made at golf on saturday afternoon. this chin-chin immediately becomes a conference, and neither the office boy nor the telephone operator must disturb either gentleman. more idle gossip is indulged in at many business conferences these days than an old wives' sewing circle would be guilty of.

If it were any other way, it would be easy. and if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. the yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. persist.

What we shouldn't be doing is trying to take away your rights to bargain for better wages or working conditions... these so-called "right to work" laws, they don't have to do with economics; they have everything to do with politics. what they're really talking about is giving you the right to work for less money.
