- '1984,' George Orwell

“Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it

One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.

George Orwell, 1984

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

1984, George Orwell

"It was their object to create a factional fight among the colored men, so that THEY would be free from blame."

"He spoke with no bridled tongue of the political OUTRAGES in #Arkansas and #FortBend County, #Texas, and stated that he recognized the fight was to OVERTHROW the Negro Republicans in the State."

Whenever the "lily-white, conservatives are told that they have to share this space that is ours; share it with an individual or with ideas, experiences, that challenges them; they quickly label that idea, individual, community, a threat, a relativist, a cultural Marxist.

Their attacks on academia - #CriticalRaceTheory attacks on ideas, employ the same authoritarian tactics that they claim they are against! They weaponise lies for conformity not genuine diversity.

The first victims of Lily-White Conservatism -- Authentic Black Conservatism (not fame oriented). It rewards those minority conservatives who compliment the "lily-white" conservative view, and often marginalizes conservatives of color who disagree with that view

It won't stop with just black people. It will ban any idea, delegitimize any culture, that won't bend a knee to White Supremacy.

"What one begs American people to do, for all sakes, is simply to accept our history."

“The system of racialised perpetual hereditary chattel slavery that was developed in the New World by Europeans has NO EQUIVALENT in history."

A Most Dissimilar Thing

"NEVER in world history were slaves considered chattel (due to race) until modern times.”

— Dr. David Neiman

George Orwell, 1984:

“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth."

"Father sarcastically referred to the instigators of a "white Republican party" as the "Lily Republicans" and the "Lily Whites.""

Mr. Albion Tour-gee

"The Colored Republican party of Texas has manifested an aptitude for political warfare which goes far to disprove the allegation of inferiority, by dubbing the so-called
white Republicans who recently met, 'Lily
White.'

"The name is a good one and all the more stirringly appropriate, for as everybody knows, that faction thus arrogating to itself purity, capacity and patriotism, is organized for plunder, ...

... under the leadership of one whose debasement of Republican principles has become National."

"The pure-minded patriot of 'Flanigan's Mills' is a fit standard bearer for
the 'Lily Republicans' who wish to cut the party
loose from the Negro in order that they may control whatever plums of Federal patronage and power.

.... may fall to the party
organization of the Lone Star State."

NOTE: Historian Mark Elliott credits Tourgée with introducing the metaphor of "color-blind justice" into legal discourse.

"[The Lily-White Movement] came in and took possession and shut the door on the Anglo-African, but the ORIGINAL Republicans are coming back— believing what is good for the white man is good for the black man with equal intelligence."

-- Samuel H. Vick

"In regard to being invited into the party we wish to say that the Anglo-African does NOT have to be invited into the Republican party. He has no doubt been too loyal. It was the Anglo-Saxon who was invited into the ranks of the party."
