It might be sound policy for LC catalogers to first query Black LC staffers before elevating antebellum plantation slang to primary head status.plain2017-05-02T09:25:14-07:001986Mia Tignor732ec600de8396e51dd65ae9c3bef67cc89e9f43

And fourth, the appearance of “Criminal Justice, administration” as the sole “xx” lends the term, as well as the practice it denotes, a certain dignity, if not if not legitimacy.plain4329822017-05-02T09:31:41-07:001983Mia Tignor732ec600de8396e51dd65ae9c3bef67cc89e9f43

Yet it is just the opposite, masquerading ruthlessness and inhumanity-the age-old and altogether vicious practice of scapegoating-in a deceptive, leisurely abstraction. The phraseology is that of the oppressor, the ultimate murderer, not the victim.plain2017-05-02T08:31:57-07:001984Mia Tignor732ec600de8396e51dd65ae9c3bef67cc89e9f43
