Topic > Stereotypes In Black Leather, White Masks by Frantz Fanon

The persona is the relationship between a person's consciousness and society, a mask, not the kind of mask a stage actor might wear on Broadway or in churches Today. In the 1952 book written by Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks. It takes an in-depth look at the world of black people and the psychology of inferiority, social structure and colonialism. Throughout history blacks have tried to impress whites in many aspects of life. On the other hand, Europeans brought a primitive group of people from an underdeveloped continent to a strange and unusual culture. Exploring the effects led to slavery, which created anxiety, greed, and inferiority among all ethnic groups. This selfish desire has caused a chain reaction from generation to generation. Low self-esteem is caused in childhood by the separation of mothers from their children. This often happened during slavery and is passed down from generation to generation.

This kidnapping of people has caused a traumatic experience that simply decays and weakens the psyche of a human being.

The exploitation of slaves economically posed a question of wealth, it created a huge gap between rich and poor, causing the misery of the black man. The Jewish people who were persecuted because they were part of the elite race in Germany are as often victimized today as African Americans are today throughout the world. Jews are treated as inferiorly as Africans
