During the conversation, I had a revelation: Most of us are just a step away from being incarcerated, or have yet to understand what it truly means to be free. Sure, the US incarcerates more of its citizens than any country in the world, but it might be deeper than you think. </p> <p>The United States Constitution doesn’t abolish slavery for everyone. Actually, if you’ve been convicted of a felony, the 13<sup>th</sup> Amendment actually says that it’s OK to force one into slave labor (<a href="http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/13thamendment.html">please go take a look</a>). Given that we are slapping felony convictions on individuals like Kelly Williams-Bolar, the otherwise law-abiding mother in Ohio who was sent to jail for sending her kids to the wrong school district, we can see just how easy it is for that arbitrary label to be applied. </p> <p><a href="http://drboycewatkins.com/?p=332" target="_blank">CLICK TO READ</a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5338686451157048600.post-39691697881377942182011-07-18T19:34:00.001-04:002011-07-18T19:34:20.827-04:00Hilarious Video: Aaron McGruder of the Boondocks Describes BET (Black Evil Television)<p><img src="http://yourblackworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/blackeviltelevision2.jpg" /></p> <p><a href="http://yourblackworld.com/2011/07/18/hilarious-aaron-mcgruders-bet-black-evil-television/" target="_blank">CLICK TO WATCH</a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5338686451157048600.post-62950992793997610892011-07-18T19:08:00.001-04:002011-07-18T19:08:48.494-04:00Happy Birthday Nelson: The Top 10 Quotes of Nelson Mandela<p><img src="http://yourblackworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/image-300x223.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://yourblackworld.com/2011/07/18/happy-birthday-nelson-the-top-10-quotes-from-nelson-mandela/" target="_blank">CLICK TO READ</a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5338686451157048600.post-74025799220753035552011-07-16T19:04:00.001-04:002011-07-16T19:04:50.664-04:00The Latest from Dr. Boyce Watkins at Your Black World<h4><a href="http://yourblackworld.com/2011/07/16/disturbing-study-black-men-get-better-healthcare-protection-in-prison-than-out/">Disturbing Study: Black Men Get Better Healthcare, Protection in Prison than Out</a></h4> <p>July 16, 2011 By <a href="http://yourblackworld.com/author/admin/">Staff</a> <a href="http://yourblackworld.com/2011/07/16/disturbing-study-black-men-get-better-healthcare-protection-in-prison-than-out/#disqus_thread">3 Comments</a> <a href="http://yourblackworld.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=7305&action=edit">(Edit)</a></p> <p><a href="http://yourblackworld.com/2011/07/16/disturbing-study-black-men-get-better-healthcare-protection-in-prison-than-out/"><img title="prison-slavery-300x180" alt="prison-slavery-300x180" src="http://yourblackworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/prison-slavery-300x180-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a></p> <p>by Dr. Boyce Watkins.
