Evidence

A feeling of inferiority? No, a feeling of nonexistence. Sin is Negro as virtue is white. All those white men in a group, guns in their hands, cannot be wrong. I am guilty. I do not know of what, but I know that I am no good. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 547 (#expands, via linked claim)
