Denmark Vesey: Plantation Negro Politics

Plantation Negro Politics

The Plantation doesn't even bother to engage Plantation Negros in any type of genuine political discourse. The same principles of mass consumer marketing are used to market political memes to a nation of Negros who vote for issues as silly as "Duh Furs Afwikan Amurikan Pwezident".

The Democratic Party is not even worried about so-called "African-Americans" taking umbrage with the President's illegal and immoral attack on the African nation of Libya. All they need is a few hundred thousand dollars and a Puff Daddy cartoon to lure emotional Plantation Negros back to the polls to stand with "Pwezidunt Ohbama against duh racist consurvatives who hate him cuz heez bwak!!"

cadeveo said...: It's all branding and marketing now. That's The Spectacle. That's Identity Politics. Everything is reduced to images. Why go for the reality that makes you uncomfortable when you can choose the image that looks cool, feels good, and that you can project anything you want on to?; Jul 28, 2011, 9:24:00 PM

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
