A. The Causes of Racial Prejudice

1. Societal Stereotype

The core of Fanons theory can be simplified into three aspects. The first is the search of the black identity, the struggle against colonialism and the last is the process of decolonization. Based on Oxford Learner Dictionary, stereotype means a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. Like a tree, it is planted and growing in the society. There is certain believe that one race is more and one race is less than other race as mentioned by Back and Solomos 2001:64. This believe gives the sense of alienation to the selves that leads people to categorize their place in the society whether one is superior or inferior and they are trying to make sure that nobody is trying to escape from this mentality as suggested by Fanon 2008:42-43 The analysis of the societal stereotype in this section deals with Joes behavior when he heard Jims plan of being a lawyer as seen in ONeills 1924:6-7 JOE--staring resentfully Is you graduatin tonight?
