Description

The Context of White Supremacy examines the British television series, BLACK MIRROR. University of Texas professor of English Dr. Martin Kevorkian returns to the program to investigate this series. Dr. Kevorkian's book, Color Monitors: The Black Face of Technology in America, may prove especially relevent in decoding Black Mirror. Color Monitors's primary argument is that many of the fictional narratives where Whites articulate a fear of machines, robots, or some non-human entity represent authentic White angst about losing domination over non-white people. Charlie Brooker created Black Mirror to explore "the dark side of our love affair with technology." Frequently compared to The Twilight Zone - which also addressed Racism, Black Mirror reflects a future where mind-boggling technology is used with the most malevolent intentions. The series debuted in 2011 with an episode showing how social media is employed to blackmale a White politician into raping a pig. The series sometimes provides the staple racist depictions of black characters: black males obsessed with White Women, crude black rappers, and black criminals and convicts. However, the series also presents the notion of black people using technology to undermine White Power. "Nosedive," the first episode of season three, depicts the disintegration of a White Woman's life as a variety of black strangers maul her social media ranking. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
