Educated colonial subjects suffer intellectual alienation unlike exploited laborers’ alienation

Evidence

It is obvious–and I will never weary of repeating this –that the quest for disalienation by a doctor of medicine born in Guadeloupe can be understood only by recognizing motivations basically different from those of the Negro laborer building the port facilities in Abidjan. In the first case, the alienation is of an almost intellectual character. Insofar as he conceives of European culture as a means of stripping himself of his race, he becomes alienated. In the second case, it is a question of a victim of a system based on the exploitation of a given race by another, on the contempt in which a given branch of humanity is held by a form of civilization that pretends to superiority. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 818 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

What are the terms of this problem? Jean Veneuse is a Negro. Born in the Antilles, he has lived in Bordeaux for years; so he is a European. But he is black; so he is a Negro. There is the conflict. He does not understand his own race, and the whites do not understand him. And, he observes, “The Europeans in general and the French in particular, not satisfied with simply ignoring the Negro of the colonies, repudiate the one whom they have shaped into their own image.” — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 232 (#expands, via linked claim)
