I disagree.
Citizens are the slaves being owned by the Government (anecdotally, created by white men and currently being run by white men). In 1964, that government gave minorities “free room and board” to act like “foremen”.
Like the old south, more and more disciplinary power was given to the foremen in order to keep the rank-and-file slaves from rebeling (since they outnumbered the masters). The masters realized that the foremen could also rebel and bring their positions to ruin. The foremen’s benefits were increased along with their power causing them to forget that they, too, were still “owned” by the masters.
Agreed, however I wasn’t analyzing it so deeply. See any television commercial and it’s all “minorities” in positions of power. White men are pictured as hapless idiots.
