is a by-product, secreted like a bodily waste in response to colonial occupation.

This is not to say that race is biological or in the blood in the way that the early-twentiethcentury eugenicist believed. Rather, for Fanon, race is a by-product like a bodily waste product secreted in response to colonial occupation: 'The other's total inability to liquidate the past once and for all. In the face of this affective ankylosis of the white man, it is understandable that I could have made up my mind to utter my Negro cry. Little by little, putting out pseydopodia here and there, I secreted a race'' ( 122).

is a fiction, scientifically, anthropologically, and as such, racism is a social construct whose social function is racism.

There is no such thing as race. None. There is just a human race -scientifically, anthropologically. Racism is a construct, a social construct. . . it has a social function, racism. Toni Morrison

is a fraud. All modern people are the conglomeration of so many ethnic mixtures that no pure race remains.

I do not believe in race as such. Race is a fraud. All modern people are the conglomeration of so many ethnic mixtures that no pure race remains.

is a group united and developed by forces of nature while a state is a group united by human forces.

We say that a group united and developed in the royal way, by forces of nature, is a race... a group united and developed by way of might, by human forces, is a state. This, then, is the difference between a race or nationality and a state. Sun Yat-sen

is a highly organized system of 'race'-based group privilege that operates at every level of society and is held together by a sophisticated ideology of color/'race' supremacy.

a mental construction that expresses the basic experience of colonial domination and pervades the more important dimensions of global power, including its specific rationality: Eurocentrism.

is a non-biological social construct that the left preserves (by rejecting the likes of self-identifying blacks as rachel dolezal) for political gain whereas they insist on destroying the biological based notion of sexual differences (in cases of transgender like caitlin jenner) because they wish to overthrow all established sexual mores.

The left insist on preserving non-biological, illegitimate racial barriers because they exploit those racial barriers for political gain... the left insist on destroying biologically based sexual differences because they wish to overthrow all established sexual mores.

is a psychological experience because it is a social one. Blackness is relational vis-a-vis whiteness... for not only must the black man be black he must be black in relation to the white man.

As Shu-mei Shih notes in her analysis of Fanon, 'race is a psychological experience because it is a social one' (2008: 1351). Specifically, Fanon theorizes race functions relationally under colonialism, 'for not only must the black man be black he must be black in relation to the white man' (1967: 110). This relationality establishes racial difference and positions blacks as inferior and whites as superior. Moreover, as blacks learn that white is associated with good and black with evil, they co1ne to loath blackness and to desire instead with whiteness. It is this 'will to whiteness', as Langston Hughes puts it in The Racial Mou1itain, that Fanon finds both socially and psychologically probe.ematic.
