"But as probably could have been predicted, #Tyson turned out to be a 58-year-old man whose body has taken a lifetime of abuse, facing a wealthy 27-year-old who’s devoted his past few years to training. Jake set out to prove he was something realer than a media whore, but he showed only that he had the clout to overhype a terribly unfair fight."

There are some quotes that seem so incredible that they transparently explain ideologies that we are usually careful to conceal under veils of cautious rhetoric.

It's 1866, and the big topic is the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, aimed at protecting the rights of former African-American slaves emancipated by the Thirteenth Amendment, particularly in the southern states.

Senator Howard's sentence is quoted as the exergue of a chapter in Saydiya Hartman's book Scenes of subjection.

“Everywhere mature manhood is the representative type of the human race.”

-Senator Jacob Howard, Congressional Globe, 39th Congress, 1st Session

(Unfortunately, I couldn't find the text in the Congressional Globe Proceedings (which can be found as a PDF on archive.org or the Library of Congress). If anyone is more gifted than I, I'd be happy to have the text of the Senator's entire speech)

What's fascinating about this declaration is that it establishes exactly who is the “free” subject (who never needed to be emancipated) fully enjoying the rights of American citizenship (which he invented for himself, as a bourgeois landowner). And that, in the same gesture, it relegates all others, starting with blacks, former slaves, but also women (not to mention black women who suffer, as under the slave regime, a “double penalty”), but also the “poor” (who certainly don't have access to the wisdom that “maturity” brings), that it thus relegates them to the status of insufficient, uncertain, incomplete, failing political subject.

In the same movement, we hear the articulation of white supremacism, masculinism and the feeling of bourgeois superiority (inscribed in a regime of “natural” inequalities). But also the very foundations of liberal capitalism (not just American).

1866, certainly.
But there's nothing anachronistic about Senator Howard's statement. You only have to listen to the explicit proponents of white supremacism to hear it today (and if you listen hard enough, you'll hear it in many corridors, back alleys and near coffee machines).

Attached below is the beginning of the chapter in which Saidiya Hartman comments on this quote and the debates that took place around the 14th Amendment.

Next time you see a bunch of nazis, incel alpha male wannabes or whatever comparing themselves to the spartans you can remind them that the spartans were ultimately defeated by a small elite troop of gay lovers.

"L'histoire de la résistance des hommes à l'émancipation des femmes est encore plus instructive que l'histoire de l'émancipation des femmes."

-- Virginia Woolf --

"The history of men's resistance towards the emancipation of women is even more instructive than the history of women emancipation itself."
