"The number of voting-aged white individuals who did not vote in either the 1994 or 1996 national elections is greater than the entire Black population of this country. What this means is that democracy, white power style, maintains a reserve supply of voters in much the same way capitalism maintains a reserve supply of laborers. Just as the reserve labor supply protects the interests of big business, the reserve voting supply protects the interests of the political status quo. To wit, if all of the whites who voted in the 1994 or 1996 national elections were to drop dead, and every Black person in this country decided to vote as a block for certain candidates and/or issues, the white power system could still effectively neutralize the Black vote by mobilizing less than 40% of the individuals who had failed to vote in either of the two most recent national elections."
"Because of their fear of “people power,” America’s founding fathers made sure the vote would be a weak, almost negligible element in the political process. They made voting a passive activity, and power politics is hardly impacted on by passive activities. They also made certain that voters would not have the constitutional authority to force their elected officials to follow the mandate of the voters. And, America’s founding fathers made certain that voters would not have the constitutional authority to enact or enforce laws."
"[T]he assertion that the Black vote is important because it can “swing” certain elections in favor of one or the other party is totally unfounded. The swing vote in this country belongs to white democrats and white independents who have a tendency to vote republican whenever they feel the need to do so. A simple look at the numbers will reveal that, theoretically, a republican should never win a national election in this country, but republicans win nearly as regularly as democrats. How is this possible? It is possible because white non-republicans regularly vote for republican candidates. It is this vote, which is quite substantial, not the relatively minor Black vote, that ”swings” elections and generates otherwise improbable outcomes."

"The Burden of War
"A revolutionary war would affect the day-to-day activities of all of the colonists, but improving the condition of most of the colonists was not one of the objectives of the war. The everyday colonist was well aware of this. If the British won, most of the colonists would continue to live a life of relative mediocrity. If the colonials won, most of the colonists would continue to live a life of relative mediocrity. In New England, they would continue to work on their small farms and in their small shops, eke out a living in a variety of menial and disgusting ways, pray in their small churches, wear the barest of clothes, eat the slightest of meals, sleep in drafty lean-tos and log cabins, identify with the white elites, dehumanize all people of color and acknowledge the right of white people to rob Black men, women and children of the fruits of their labor. In the middle colonies, they would continue to work on their small farms and in their small shops, eke out a living in a variety of menial and disgusting ways, pray in their small churches, wear the barest of clothes, eat the slightest of meals, sleep in drafty lean-tos and log cabins, identify with the white elites, dehumanize all people of color and acknowledge the right of white people to rob Black men, women and children of the fruits of their labor. And in the South, the everyday colonists would continue to work their small plots of land, eke out a living in a variety of menial and disgusting ways, pray in their small churches, wear the barest of clothes, eat the slightest of meals, sleep in drafty lean-tos and log cabins, dehumanize all people of color and acknowledge the right of white people to rob Black men, women and children of the fruits of their labor. The war would not improve their standard of living, enable them to patch their leaking roof or drafty cabin, add some needed pieces to their measly collection of clothes, reduce the nature of their debts, increase the size of their congregation or change their attitude about anything of significance. Indeed, the war was not the business of the everyday man and woman, and only involved them because the elites had everything to gain or lose from their participation.
"Governments, businesses and businesspersons rarely put their lives on the line when they have little or nothing to gain or lose. Why, then, do everyday people who have nothing to gain or lose fight in a war? That would be the million-dollar question if it were not answered so often. At one turn, they fight because they identify with and are influenced by the propaganda of the elites in their locality. At another turn, they fight because they believe in the propaganda of patriotism more than the individuals and governments that generate that propaganda. At a third turn, they fight because they are more idealistic and less self-centered than the elites. Individuals who have little or nothing to gain or lose also fight because they are convinced the system will punish them if they don’t fight. And, all too often, they fight because they need a source of income. Yes, for far too many individuals, the only opportunity they get to work and receive a paycheck on a regular basis is by fighting in a war. This was certainly the case in the American colonies on the eve of the Revolutionary War period.
"Because of all of the above reasons, the everyday man and woman in the American colonies would bear the burden of the Revolutionary War. While most of those who would benefit from the war held meetings in obscure buildings in obscure towns and debated obscure issues, everyday people met on the battlefields, where they terrorized, bludgeoned, maimed and killed each other. They marched countless miles, exposed themselves to the harsh elements on countless days and nights, heard cannons and guns explode on countless occasions, felt their flesh rip and blood rush out during countless battles--- and were left alone to face the wrath of the enemy when they suffered a serious wound or ill-timed injury. They left parents, spouses, siblings and offspring alone and unprotected during the most dangerous of times; left them to shed tears that should not have been shed, suffer levels of privation that should not have been suffered, and endure life draining degrees of stress that should never have been endured. And, after all was said and done, after the war had been fought and insanely reached its end, those who had not been killed returned home to the same inadequate plot of land, the same inadequate food, clothing and shelter, the same unjust system of indebtedness, the same mediocrity and the same utterly hopeless existence that they had been living at the beginning of the war. But it was not all for naught, their elites assured them, because a new, better nation had emerged. The everyday white American man and woman should rejoice, their elites assured them, because they were no longer at the beck and call of the British king or unjust British rule. That was true. They were no longer at the beck and call of the British king, but they were at the beck and call of an American elite. Should they rejoice, or was it all for naught indeed?"

"A new world stage has been set. Its major players, though already known, are yet to take their places. Practically all of America’s people, especially white people, have indicated that they are unwilling to take part in this new order. They somehow seem to think that they have more to lose, more of value to protect, than everybody else. Such thoughts indicate, first of all, that they are not developed enough to be granted a major role on this new stage. Rather than bolster its quality, they would reduce it and represent decay, a bad apple in the midst of an otherwise healthy barrel. Secondly, these thoughts indicate that the people of the United States of America have been suckered to the point where they are unable to effectively distinguish between reality and propaganda. The propaganda, the white mythology line, still insists that the play cannot go on without whites. The reality is the exact opposite!
As soon as people begin contemplating and discussing the future, the future becomes more a function and property of today than tomorrow. Non-white people are welcoming the future with open arms and commitment, while the people of the United States of America and white people in general are acting as if it has not arrived."
