Pentatonix 

An a capella group that officially began their singing career after winning Season 3 of "The Sing-Off," the group consists of Scott Hoying (baritone), Kirstie Maldonado (soprano/alto), Mitch Grassi (tenor), Avi Kaplan (bass), and Kevin Olusola (beatboxing percussionist). Pentatonix derives their name from the number of members in the group and from the pentatonic scale in music theory, with the c changed to an x for stylistic purposes. The group first began with the original trio of Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch from Arlington, Texas who decided that in order to effectively compete in "The Sing-Off," they needed a bass and beatboxer. Kevin (beatbox) was found by Scott on Youtube after watching Kevin's video of him beatboxing while playing the cello. Avi (bass) was contacted by the trio and joined up after seeing the three in a Youtube video. After winning on Season 3, the group signed a record label and was soon touring the United States. Their specialty is doing covers of popular music while adding in their own special breakdowns and futuristic musical effects, thanks to Kevin and Avi, with Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch focusing on melody and harmony. Some of their most popular covers are "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles, "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence and the Machine, and "Aha!" by Imogen Heap.

Pawleys Plantation 

a gated, virtually all white community situated on a golf course in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, located to the south of Myrtle Beach. Many residents of Pawleys Island are middle aged transplants from the north and midwest of the U.S., who claim to have moved south "for the warm weather," "to be near the beach," or "to play more golf." Yet many of these same people seem to see nothing morally wrong about living in a neighborhood whose name contains the word "plantation," which for anyone with any kind of a liberal mind evokes horrific images of slavery and racial segregation.
Pawleys Plantation has a staff of guards at the front gate, twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year.

liberal plantation 

Often used when discussing Black conservatives, this term refers to the notion that white liberals prefer for all African-Americans to fit into one political viewpoint, generally characterized as left-Populist-Democrat. If Blacks all think the same, then the leadership of the liberal white left can regard Blacks as a monolithic voting block. That makes things a lot easier to strategize and manipulate than if the Black population is seen as a whole spectrum of political views -- which, of course, is indeed the case in reality. Thus, when white liberals imply that any politically-aware Black who is not left-Democrat is either suicidal or insane, they are "keeping the Blacks on the liberal plantation" -- and Blacks who are not left-Democrat are spoken of as having "bolted off the liberal plantation." An important facet of this paradigm is that the "liberal plantation" is figuratively a "plantation" because it uses Black voters to serve mostly the interests of a white liberal establishment, not the interests of the Black American voters themselves.
"The Black feminazis ganged up against Clarence Thomas during his Supreme Court nomination not because they thought he was sexist, but really because he had the nerve to bolt off the liberal plantation."

"Black Libertarian Thomas Sowell is sometimes called an Uncle Tom simply because he has wandered off the liberal plantation."

White conservative TV pundit: "Herman Cain is being attacked for sexual harassment by the liberal mainstream press not because he did anything substantially improper, but for bolting off the liberal plantation."
