Mamy things can be attributed to this. One is people screaming 'vote' instead of 'riot'.
Note that this isn't to say you should or shouldn't vote, or that you should or shouldn't riot. You can absolutely do and advocate for both, but by publicly calling for only one of them, you're making a deliberate choice.
I managed to find a page that said this quote can be found in his book, Black Skin, White Masks. I can't vouch for that, though, as I haven't read that book.
It sounds like a sentence he would've written, I will say.
Found a full pdf of this book, the word "mind" appears 10 times or so, none of them match. The word "master's" also appears a handful of time, but again nothing that matches (and usually in quotes of other folks). It is indeed full of some winners though. Granted, it's a translation from french. Presumably there are several (I was looking at Markmann's)
Yeah, it could also be a contemporary paraphrasing of some other, perhaps longer, quotable passage. Giving this a huge benefit of the doubt at this point. 😅

Source please?
It is not listed in wikiquite link and a thesis which includes the phrase 'colonized mind' a bunch never actually quotes Fanon as using the words.
It's the sort of thing discussed in 'the wretched of the earth'; but I strongly suspect the quote is hallucinated (presumably by humans)
Love to see Frantz Fanon quotes posted ❤️
Shame it's very likely not real! (or at least unsourced...)
Oh shit 🫢😲 Saving this one! 👏
Maybe change the attribution though; I can't find it attributed to Fanon anywhere but facebook.
