I'm not sure if that view's completely sustainable, but worth considering.]</p> </div></div></div> Mon, 26 Mar 2018 16:18:00 +0000 PeraclesPlease comment 250659 at http://dagblog.com The unanswered question is http://dagblog.com/comment/250657#comment-250657 <a id="comment-250657"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/link/black-girls-gone-wild-24809">Arrested Development or Black Girls gone wild?</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>The unanswered question is why does the legal system appear to be so geared towards imprisoning black bodies?</p> </div></div></div> Mon, 26 Mar 2018 15:57:57 +0000 rmrd0000 comment 250657 at http://dagblog.com
