“We Wear the Mask” by Paul Laurence Dunbar
We wear the mask that grins and lies,/ … We wear the mask!
Wilderson 2002 (“The Prison Slave as Hegemony’s (Silent) Scandal,” Presented at Imprisoned Intellectuals Conference Brown University)
Civil society is not a terrain intended for the Black subject. It is coded with wages and wages are White… A black specter waiting in the wings, an endless antagonism that cannot be satisfied (via reform or reparation) but must nonetheless be pursued to the death.
The role of the judge is to be an anti-ethical decision-maker which votes to end the world and move to a world of poesis that allows for the creation of a new concept of the human for it is the European concept of man that leads to all of the impacts of the status quo. The world as we know it must end.
Curry 13 (Dr. Tommy, “In the Fiat of Dreams: The Delusional Allure of Hope, the Reality of Anti-Balck Violence and the Demands of the Anti-Ethical”, available at academia.edu)
Racism is not unethical simply because it is a moral affront… path towards a new humanity.
The status quo is maintained with a one-dimensional misrepresentation, daily bombarded in the mass media, personifying Black Rage as uniquely dangerous
Hooks 95 (Bell, “KILLING RAGE Ending Racism”, p 18-19)
Currently, we are daily bombarded with mass media images of black rage, usually personified by angry young black males… that we can ever live to see the end of white supremacy.
The only ethical demand available is that of the slave and the savage
Wilderson III 07 Red White and Black, pp 5-7

Farley 12 “Critical Race Theory and Marxism”
Repetition is the mode in which…and all of us to the repetitions, together.
Structural Adjustment DA: civil society = anti-blackness, and scholarship comes first
Wilderson 2010 Red White and Black 8-10
I have little interest in assailing…at the gates of Columbia University awaits an answer.
Blackness=life-affirming process
Sexton 11 The Social Life of Social Death
Elsewhere, in a discussion of Dubois on the study of black folk….like an embrace of pathology without pathos
No tag…heading is “perfect slavery”
Farley 5 Perfecting Slavery
Slavery is with us still. We are haunted…that are said to precede existence. The mark is a system. ?end of their underlining bc end of their paragraph is messed up I think processing error.
