He Who Is Reluctant To Recognize Me

I Want The World To Recognize With Me The Open Door Of Every Consciousness

However Painful It May Be For Me To Accept This Conclusion, I Am Obliged To State It: For The Black Man There Is Only One Destiny. And It Is White.

The Settler Makes History And Is Conscious Of Making It. And Because He Constantly Refers To The History Of His Mother Country, He Clearly Indicates That He Himself Is The Extension Of That Mother Country. Thus The History Which He Writes Is Not The History Of The Country Which He Plunders But The History Of His Own Nation In Regard To All That She Skims Off, All That She Violates And Starves.

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.

The Native Must Realize That Colonialism Never Gives Anything Away For Nothing.
