Wealth Is Not The Fruit Of Labor

The Church In The Colonies Is The White People's Church, The Foreigner's Church. She Does Not Call The Native To God's Ways But To The Ways Of The White Man, Of The Master, Of The Oppressor.

Certain Things Need To Be Said If One Is To Avoid Falsifying The Problem.

What I Call Middle-class Society Is Any Society That Becomes Rigidified In Predetermined Forms, Forbidding All Evolution, All Gains, All Progress, All Discovery. I Call Middle-class A Closed Society In Which Life Has No Taste, In Which The Air Is Tainted, In Which Ideas And Men Are Corrupt. And I Think That A Man Who Takes A Stand Against This Death Is In A Sense A Revolutionary.

Culture Has Never The Translucidity Of Custom; It Abhors All Simplification. In Its Essence It Is Opposed To Custom, For Custom Is Always The Deterioration Of Culture.

And It Is Clear That In The Colonial Countries The Peasants Alone Are Revolutionary, For They Have Nothing To Lose And Everything To Gain. The Starving Peasant, Outside The Class System Is The First Among The Exploited To Discover That Only Violence Pays. For Him There Is No Compromise, No Possible Coming To Terms; Colonization And Decolonization A Simply A Question Of Relative Strength.
