The black Antillean enslaves himself after being enslaved by the white man

Evidence

The white man chooses the black man for this function, and the black man who is white also chooses the black man. The black Antillean is the slave of this cultural imposition. After having been the slave of the white man, he enslaves himself. The Negro is in every sense of the word a victim of white civilization. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 671
