The fantasy of Negro sexuality exceeds any actual sexual experience with them

Evidence

When one reads this passage a dozen times and lets oneself go–that is, when one abandons oneself to the movement of its images–one is no longer aware of the Negro but only of a penis; the Negro is eclipsed. He is turned into a penis. He is a penis. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 616 (#expands, via linked claim)

In relation to the Negro, everything takes place on the genital level. A few years ago, I remarked to some friends during a discussion that in a general sense the white man behaves toward the Negro as an elder brother reacts to the birth of a younger. I have since learned that Richard Sterba arrived at the same conclusion in America. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 592 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
