Notes: In our society it is not unusual for a Negro to experience a sensation that he does not exist in the real world at all. He seems rather to exist in the nightmarish fantasy of the white American mind as a phantom that the white mind seeks unceasingly, by means both crude and subtle, to lay.(Ralph Ellison, Shadow and Act (New York, 1964), p. 304)It is still true, alas, that to be an American Negro male is also to be a kind of walking phallic symbol: which means that one pays, in one's own personality, for the sexual insecurity of others.(James Baldwin, Nobody Knows My Name (New York, 1961), p. 172)
