Antillean neuroses stem from a white cultural situation imposed through media

Evidence

With the exception of a few misfits within the closed environment, we can say that every neurosis, every abnormal manifestation, every affective erethism in an Antillean is the product of his cultural situation. In other words, there is a constellation of postulates, a series of propositions that slowly and subtly–with the help of books, newspapers, schools and their texts, advertisements, films, radio–work their way into one’s mind and shape one’s view of the world of the group to which one belongs. In the Antilles that view of the world is white because no black voice exists. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 585 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
