One of our beautiful posters rat-salute Had a quote I think in another instance, Something about “Europe will not forgive Hitler, not because of xyz, but because he turned colonialism upon white Europeans” Can someone remind me who the author of that was?

    Since the quote has been identified, if you’re looking into the sentiment it’s generally called “Foucault’s Boomerang.”

      Funny enough, Cesaire identified and described the concept before Foucault did. This is why I greatly prefer to call it the Imperial Boomerang, since doing otherwise is, I feel, crediting a white man with a black man’s idea.
