“Contradiction comes in many different forms. None is so debilitating than when the coloniser transitions, textually not politically, to decoloniality without taking the responsibility for the afterlife of colonialism, which they continue to benefit from. Self-examination and self-interrogation of the relations of coloniality, a necessity, seem nearly impossible for the coloniser who continues to act as beneficiary, masked in the new-found language of White fragility, devoid of an ethical responsibility of the very system of White domination they claim to be against.” (Black Consciousness and the Politics of the Flesh)

“At first I thought contradiction was always a relational thing; but the more I ponder it, the more I think contradiction creates relation.”

“The city is a laboratory not only of modernity, but also of contradiction.”

“Contradiction is not primarily a problem to be solved but a motor we cannot do without.”
Martin Nonhoff
“Contradictions need to be articulated in order to exist.”
