Evidence

But this kind of distinction (black is not white) is everything but “the same” as an opposition that depends on its opposite in its very being (black people are not white people) and must thus be analyzed in terms of a dialectical conceptuality in which the central notion of contradiction — which has no equivalent in analytic systems — still reigns supreme. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 741 (#expands, via linked claim)
