Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

“Slaves to the Community: Blacks and the Rhetoric of Selling Out” critiques Randall Kennedy’s work <italic>Sellout</italic>. In the post-civil rights era, blacks can achieve a great deal as individuals. However, the tension between the aspirations of the individual and the demands of the racial group create internal pressures (Touré 2011) that bring forth a divided self that mirrors the one Du Bois wrote about at the turn of the twentieth century. This is the result of a color line, drawn by white citizens in the past, but now solidified and reified by blacks in the present (Dickerson 2004). The rhetoric of ‘selling out’ functions as a mechanism of social control meant to keep blacks on ‘their side’ of the color line. It does so at the very moment it becomes possible for blacks to cross the threshold and become part of the American mainstream.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
