The Slave Power Arises-
October 10, 2021 § Leave a comment
The former Confederates had failed to build a slave empire, but they would not accept the demise of white man’s government. As the former Confederate general and subsequent six-term senator from Alabama John T. Morgan wrote in 1890, democratic sovereignty in America was conferred upon “qualified voters,” and Black men, whom he accused of “hatred and ill will toward their former owners,” did not qualify and were destroying democracy by their mere participation. Disenfranchising them, therefore, was not merely justified but an act of self-defense protecting democracy against “Negro domination.”
The cultural practices ancestor of the Trump block was the base of the Slave Power.
That the mere individuals are not the same is irrelevant. The cultural idea of racial superiority is continuous and the same even though evolving different slight details and appearances.

Aloha Ms. Lennard:
May I suggest that one view, for argument’s sake, these attacks and restrictions as “badges” and/or “incidents” of slavery as forbidden in the 13th amendment in the sense that they restrict freedoms in the same way that slavery would have i.e. “You mus have massa’s permission in order to do X.” Taken individually one isn’t enslaved, but cumulatively they act like a slave code for those who were unfree during the time when slavery was legal–non-white, non-male, non-propertied. Is the parallel 100%, no but few parallels are 100%. “From above” white men’s freedom unrestricted, non-whites non-men freedoms are restricted. I have not perfected the argument nor assembled the evidence but my instincts tell me the parallels of “unfreedom” are profound.

“Quite an experience…” To despicable politicians who say “universal health insurance is unaffordable.” They want you to live in constant fear because they want you in the slave class.

“Quite an experience to live in fear, isn’t it? That’s what it is to be a slave.”
Longer version:
“That’s what it is to be a slave” and that is the goal of Trump’s administration for us “little people”

“Quite an experience to live in fear, isn’t it?
That’s what it is to be a slave.”

Neo-slavery and the Slave Power
May 12, 2019 § Leave a comment
How those holding power in the Confederate states of the United States view non-whites is how Spartans viewed the helots-a population to be regularly warred upon in order to sustain political power.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helots
All of this discrimination is ‘rule by law’ which isn’t ‘rule of law’ and consists of the imposition of ‘badges of slavery’ on non-whites [can’t vote, must reproduce] and is made possible by the current corrupt majority on the US Supreme Court which pretends that racial discrimination and bigotry has ceased in the U.S.
The racial, and class, oppression and tyranny has accelerated since the corrupt Shelby County v. Holder [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_County_v._Holder] case in which the corrupt majority Roberts, Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito pretended to believe that “the disparate treatment of the states is “based on 40 year-old facts having no logical relationship to the present day” and thus is not responsive to current needs.”
These words are simply an updated version of the Dred Scott Supreme Court corrupt majority [Taney, Wayne, Catron, Daniel, Nelson, Grier, Campbell] words. The Dred Scott majority ruled that black people “are not included, and were not intended to be included, under the word ‘citizens’ in the Constitution, and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States” Taney wrote “They had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit.”
