“that the colonizer, who in order to ease his conscience gets into the habit of seeing the other man as an animal, accustoms himself to treating him like an animal, and tends objectively to transform himself into an animal.” Césaire #DiscourseOnColonialism #TyreNichols #ACAB
“Truly, there are sins for which no one has the power to make amends and which can never be fully expiated.” - Césaire #DiscourseOnColonialism.
