Politics contemporaneously may be the most potent extension of domination characteristic of slaves during the American antebellum. As slaves, “house negroes” were the psychologically dominated, mixed-race offspring of the antebellum master class. The political descendants of antebellum house negroes are today's Black Conservatives. Their political aspirations represent a corrupted version of the “American dream.” In particular, those who are scholars take part in contrived research in their mandate to serve the political status quo. Black Conservatives must become cognizant of their unique role—that of advocating for the interests of Black people, their class, their community, as well as their country.
