“le racisme est une maladie. Un vice. Une maladie honteuse. Qui se développe parfois dans le silence des maisons. On murmure puis on ferme les fenêtres. On crie pendant les repas de famille. Haïr l'autre, c'est l'imaginer contre soi. C'est se sentir possédé. Volé. Pénétré. Le racisme est un fantasme. C'est imaginer l'odeur de sa peau, la tension de son corps, la force de son sexe. Le racisme est une maladie. Une lèpre. Une nécrose.”
