It's that same old overseer "ism", as some of us old head Black folk term it, of praising those who oppress you with the hope that someday, with HARDWORKANDSACRIFICE, you may become one of them with such absolute power....or, at the very least, have one of them reward you for your "loyalty" with just a snip of their wealth and power. Decades of triumphant capitalist wealth worship and Puritanism is still very powerful.
