In antebellum slavery, the trick was to tell lies and convince multitudes of citizens that the people held in captivity as slaves were less than human beings. Likewise, slavery today is predicated on the same reasoning and persuading the citizens to see people as criminals and not as human beings. The battle to win the hearts and minds of the people continues still to this day with the goal of the oppressor being to demonize people while the goal of the oppressed being to humanize and liberate themselves!

Fundamentally, antebellum slavery was abolished because society was compelled to see the so-called slaves as human beings and the institution of slavery as inhuman. Likewise, the states department of corrections can and will be abolished when multitudes of people come to see prisoners as human beings and the American Criminal Justice System as a diabolical scheme and an elaborate excuse to justify slavery today!

It's a damn shame that with all the so-called black leaders and organizations supposedly there to have our back, when the subject of crime and violence and prisons comes up, or even how to solve social problems, none of em' says what needs to be said! Its like they all deliberately become stupid as part of a plan to stay in one's place and not embarrass the government! This is why we have 2.3 million Americans behind bars! It's weakness, indecision, and cowardice!

If you don't want to do it, there are some among our people that have the knowledge and courage to not only explain to the government and the world about what's causing the high rates of crimes of violence among African Americans, but the confidence as well to demand community reinvestment while showing the white boy the folly of prisons as being the solution to problems that stem from political and economic failures!

When the white-conrtolled media tried to tell us about prison as being the solution to crime in the 1960s and 70s, MLK and Malcolm X and the Black Panthers stood up and explained to the world that this was irresponsible; that the crime and violence would be solved when the government support the people's rights to sustainable communities!
