"Far easier to control the sheep when they don't think for themselves and work to extricate themselves from the mire they are in..."

No, not sheep...yes, easier to control when information is manipulated/controlled.

If Blacks were mere powerless sheep, however, the power-elite wouldn't even bother with information control...they'd just tell them what to do.

But the elite are terribly frightened that Blacks will learn the truth that they have been manipulated en masse...that they will become enraged, and that Blacks will take a powerful revenge against those elites for lying to them for all these long years.

I mean, Bush didn't drag that man to his death in Texas no matter how "outraged" Sharpton wanted to pretend to be...but Bush did sign the death warrants on two of the animals who *did* do that dragging. Nor was Bush or any other Republican burning any Black churches no matter what Clinton thinks he remembered back in Arkansas...but the men who bombed and killed those 4 little Black girls at the 16th street Baptist Church in Birmingham were each and every one Democrats.

Republicans want private school choice vouchers for inner city children. Democrats are against them.

Republicans want faith based charities in the inner-cities. Democrats are against them.

At some point, we're going to find out that Blacks aren't sheep at all. They simply don't have the necessary information. Once they do, they are going to be pissed off at those who've been lying to them for all these long years.

I have an anecdote along those lines - back about 1998 or so, the company I worked for hired several people for a few months for a data review project. Since welfare reform was kicking in, we hired a couple of former welfare moms, who both turned out to be good workers. Since we had a shortage of space, one of them was put into my office to work. She was pro-Clinton, and when I asked her why, she said that her neighborhood was better off than it had been in years, which is fair enough. But after three weeks of me feeding her unfiltered information about Clinton, she came to thoroughly loathe Slick.

That's why the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world are so quick to shout down dissenting voices - because their positions become untenable in the face of facts and reason.
