[Supporting Farrakhan] is a totemic act of the sort distinctive to mass-consumption culture: highly salient but without clear meaning, effortlessly accessible but somehow bestowing in-group status.

(from "All For One And None For All," part two of Adolph Reed's two-part series on Farrakhan in The Nation, January, 28 1991)
