The black man can become locked into his body as mere object

Evidence

There are times when the black man is locked into his body. Now, “for a being who has acquired consciousness of himself and of his body, who has attained to the dialectic of subject and object, the body is no longer a cause of the structure of consciousness, it has become an object of consciousness.” — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 824
