(ThyBlackMan.com) Last year, corrupt parasitic capitalistic lawmakers in Louisiana passed what I like to call as their own version of The Mass Incarceration Bill which states anybody, particularly African men that resist an arrest will be automatically charged with a hate crime that is punishable up to ten years in The Pen which is actually BS to me. This law is just another way for these corrupt greedy parasitic capitalists to make money off of cheap/unpaid inmate labor (most inmates in Louisiana are African men).

Passing laws like this one is nothing new because there has always been a concerted effort by parasitic capitalists in all forms of government to keep us suppressed, weak, and powerless so that we won’t fight back against them which is why back in the 20th century, there were laws and rules put in place to specifically prevent us from being big time economic players as well as having fair housing, being at the beach, etc. 
 
This “blue lives matter” law in Louisiana is one of many examples that proves that parasitic capitalism  is very toxic and destructive to African people in this country because it actually ensures that the parasitic capitalists stay at the top and the poor and working class stay at the very bottom which is particularly African people in this country.
 
Like other southern states, Louisiana was considered one of the worst places in the world not only during American slavery, but also during the dark ugly racial days of The Jim Crow Era.
 
The state is also the most corrupt state in the country because I’ve seen crime stories where there have been corrupt officers abusing their authority like many NOPD officers in the early 90s where they would move drugs for the drug dealers, taking drug dealers to where they had to go, etc. And then corrupt politicians selling their people out for the parasitic capitalistic dollar to only enrich themselves, their families, and their friends.
 
Louisiana is also home to arguably the most notorious maximum security prison in the country called “Angola” where the prison has such a bloody and violent history that it was once called “The Bloodiest Prison In The World” during the 20th century.
 
Notorious rappers from C-Murder to even Lil Boosie have actually done time at “Angola” and they can even tell you themselves that the prison is pure hell and torture, especially when inmates there are placed in solitary confinement called by inmates there as The Hole.
 
Louisiana is the world’s prison capital. The state imprisons more of its people, per head, than any of its U.S. counterparts. First among Americans means first in the world. Louisiana’s incarceration rate is nearly five times Iran’s, 13 times China’s and 20 times Germany’s.
 
The hidden engine behind the state’s well-oiled prison machine is cold, hard cash. A majority of Louisiana inmates are housed in for-profit facilities, which must be supplied with a constant influx of human beings or a $182 million industry will go bankrupt.
 
I can definitely see similar southern states like Mississippi recently passing their own version of “Blue Lives Matter” bill because these parasitic capitalists wanna keep getting rich off private prison labor from mostly African men.
 
They deliberately pass like “Blue Lives Matter” to continue to systemically criminalize and marginalize African men in this country for private prison labor profit.
 
The Conclusion – It’s time for all of us Africans in America to wake up and see these laws for what they really are: to maintain colonialist imperialism in America.
