Martinique’s collective unconscious is European, so blackness triggers fear there too

Evidence

In the collective unconscious of homo occidentalis, the Negro–or, if one prefers, the color black–symbolizes evil, sin, wretchedness, death, war, famine. All birds of prey are black. In Martinique, whose collective unconscious makes it a European country, when a “blue” Negro–a coal-black one–comes to visit, one reacts at once: “What bad luck is he bringing?” — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 667
