Really should have nothing to do with ethnic hatred since the architects of this policy are the secularized Christian and Jewish ruling elites who have constructed a crypto-Calvinist ideology based on PC, Mullticult, Diversity and Feminism.

He managed to avoid simplistic manichaean explanations, showing the gradations and nuances of complicity with colonialism, and post-colonialism in the different constituencies. And he didn't argue with the White boys, he just said, this isn't your show now. I esp liked the way he brought in mental health issues, since in the UK black people have the highest inccidence of mh problems. Sartre's preface was good too, since that kind of humanist racism is still around today. I think Fanon’s WotE was brilliant.
