Nicole Franklin is a guest speaker, and the panel discusses how Supremacy has linked slavery in the US to the ongoing police killings of unarmed people. Black people are regarded as “Cheap lives that don’t matter.” It gives the law enforcement “Power over all forms of life.” (White Supremacy & Devaluation of African Heritage - Huffington Post 8/6/2015.) American “National Security” invests heavily in police operations, prisons, weaponry and surveillance systems to maintain an established order in Black/Brown neighborhoods and “lock em up!”
US Prisons are the new plantations. Prisoners are paid 25-50 cents an hour depending on seniority to make subcontracted products. The inmates get money on account so they can buy toilet paper from the prison store. The Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the nation's largest owner of private prisons has had a 500% increase in revenue over 20 years.
The California Prison System sub-contracts companies like Starbucks. Signature Packaging Solutions hires prisoners to package holiday coffees (as well as Nintendo Game Boys). Victoria's Secret and JC Penney hire inmates to sew lingerie. A California prison put two men in solitary for telling they were ordered to replace "Made in Honduras" labels with "Made in the USA." At California's prison dental laboratory, inmates produce custom dental trays, bite blocks, and dentures.
The guns are turned inward. The US Security System is working toward a speedy Black massacre. Drive-bys, crack pipes and illiteracy fulfills the US continued holocaust measures. As the Black skin pigment disappears under the radiation of the cruel invisible hate-imp, it molds the Black Race into statues standing tall to model the “Old Guard”—Confederacy Flag fly on.” The flags have been lowered, but the mindset is embedded in the US populace.
