Recall the passage:

Shame. Shame and self-contempt. Nausea. When people like me, they tell me it is in spite of my color. When they dislike me, they point out that it is not because of my color. Either way, I am locked in the infernal circle. I turn away from these inspectors of the Ark before the Flood and I attach myself to my brothers, Negroes like myself. To my horror, they too reject me. – Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks (1952)

Ford’s “black Trojan Horses” draws us to Fanon’s “Fact of Blackness”
