PAWG slaves?
as there was the 1850 law
might even have a law were those who are not with the kinfolk, non-kinfolk get arrested.
get captured...turned into economic slaves
all jailed/slave would get minimum wage (tbd), reformed, program...
unreformable goons would have sent to goon streets org//outside of community grid

The GOAT
Bar none, this is the dumbest thread I have ever read, sohh or coli.
Administration was horrible. All kinda corruption. "The system" down every other week. Programs losing their accreditation the week before you graduate. Library closing at 10 PM. shytty facilities. shytty dorms. Only 1/10 professors having a PhD. You don't know if you're in class or at the club. nikkas getting shot on campus. Dot dot dot...
Then they got the nerve to say that all the BS you go through makes you more ready for the real world. nikka please!
These two posts got me weak

There's actually plans for an independent Black nation, being formed by members of the Diaspora (so maybe I should say nation of the Diaspora) with a target date for 2020. I'm not at liberty to discuss it on here but its a very real possibility

What is race? What is whiteness? What constitutes being "black"? Where did the term "colored" come from?
Is race even relevant anymore, and what does it mean to live in a "post-racial society"?
All of these questions were discussed during Ewuare Osayande's "Race and Anti-Racist Resistance" class held Saturday at the Joseph E. Coleman Northwest Regional Library in Germantown.
Osayande a poet, activist and adjunct professor of African-American Studies at Rutgers University-Camden created the four-class series to focus on the history, legacy and reality of race and racism in the United States.
The syllabus
He started by discussing how the idea of race began in the 1600s by European elites seeking "to divide humanity for purpose of control and theft of Native American land and African labor and to justify the same."
From there, he went through the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries to the present day, relaying historical events and legal proceedings throughout American history that led to the concept of "white privilege." Osayande also cited present-day examples of internalized oppression.
"I was conscious of wanting the class to be in a predominantly African-American community," he explained, "because as much as black folks and other people of color are aware of race, we rarely have the chance to critically examine it."
Several attendees said they thought the venue was well selected.
Kody Hersh, a white Germantown resident, has been reading and thinking about racism and anti-racism.
"To engage in these issues in the community that I live, that kind of access to conversation in a local neighborhood and integrated space is really exciting," he said.
Personal connections
Class attendees came from all racial backgrounds, and many had personal stories with which they were to able to connect to the conversation of how racism became part of American history.
Osayande went through the various federal, state and local laws and acts passed in the 19th century that made whiteness empowered; they included acts for Indian removal and legal cases that had black families in Philadelphia under constant threat of enslavement.
Nadine Patterson, a local African-American filmmaker, said she has family ancestors who were directly affected by the laws of the times.
She cited the Fugitive Slave Act which, passed in 1850, made it legal for people to capture and/or kidnap any person of African descent, free or enslaved, and take them to the south as a slave.
"We've traced my ancestors, including a woman and her two children who were kidnapped off the streets of Philadelphia, we believe in the early 1800s, and enslaved," Patterson said. "So they were free people in Philadelphia, taken to Georgia, and enslaved."
'I saw the immediate switch'
Sheila Quarles, who now self-identifies racially as mixed but grew up identifying as African-American, wanted answers to racial questions that she said she faces on a daily basis.
"Every day, I experience different inequalities and I've been looking for the answer as to why," she said. "I'm educated. I'm experienced. Just yesterday, I went to talk to someone about possible staff trainings that I had originally talked to on the phone. When I showed up in person, I had a totally different experience.
"I recognized that because of my voice and my education, the person thought I was white over the phone," Quarles continued. "I saw the immediate switch from a welcoming response and a possibility to train the staff at their center and other centers to addressing the impoverished population they serve. So, I'm constantly looking for why this is happening."
Quarles also touched upon how her lighter features made her more acceptable in some of her previous jobs in media, and how that did not translate for her counterparts with darker skin.
Toward a critical analysis: The next steps
Osayande ended the class with examples of how anti-racist activists and educators are leading dialogue and action in 2012.
What does he think future lessons about the history of race and racism in the United States will hold?
"Most people really want to get past this question of race," he said. "There's an urgency, a tension. Yet we lack the will, we lack the awareness and, as a result, we lack the ability. And so, taking the same steps, the same actions and risks that people in history did, that is alive here in this city, that's what this class was seeking to do."

A CAC for every family.
I'd need a family....
brad to cut the grass and hard labor...he'd get beaten
anytime my team loss,died playing xbox etc.
the daughter caron will give me sponge baths
and after a month or so of me throwing dishes at her
will learn how to season and fry my chicken to a golden brown,
the mother would handle all of the sexy time and sleep at the foot
of my bed...(on the floor) until she gets flabby and sick and her daughter
gets thick.......the son gabriel will be renamed tupac and would work
inside and wear nothing but g-unit gear.
his family will be jealous and he will drop dime to massa (me)
when any bullshyt is afoot.
