GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY ON PRISON REFORM IS MAKING THE SAME HISTORICAL ERROR IT MADE WHEN IT BOUGHT AND SOLD ENSLAVED BLACK PEOPLE, DURING CHATTEL ENSLAVEMENT By William Thorpe

Any claim, accusation and indictment that arises as evidence of the variegated interplay, interactions and dynamics of our Human Condition, despite the real, intimate and immediate harm are illuminance of what it means to wrestle structure of utility from our inchoate intentions. In so many words, yes in our work of the business of human existence, much harm will be its wake. I'm not advancing the idealistic, "the ends justifies means". But what I'm saying is the all so real harm of inchoate intentions, becomes something else entirely, when its wake, consequence or effect is unmitigatedly made apparent and the hypocrisy of cutting off the nose to spite the face, is still practiced as formulation: of tradition, culture, norms, genteel civility. When the inappropriateness of its existence upon the indictment of unworthiness as mechanism for the realization of that one and only, development of the business of human existence, stands naked and revealed as INJUSTICE, and it's don't subject nor impose the experience on me and mine. At this developed juncture of our grasp of fundamental contradictions and antagonisms, where no matter the sophistication or crassness of the sledgehammer of empiricism, the only relevant conclusion is "the Emperor has no clothes", or to put it as it should, "no one is drinking the Kool-Aid anymore". Still we encounter activity or Speech, that is so idealistic, anachronistic, so hypocritical, so devoid of where are lessons learned and the inexorable practical redemption, that the only conclusion to be reached is, incorrigibility. Government and governance is simply and purely that, whether its critiqued as Monarchical, Fascist, Authoritarian, Theocratic or the most nonsensical, Capitalist, Communist-Socialist, the only distinction is proximity to its formulating speech or Social Contract. So if the only relevant active, is proximity, because from the Monarchical to the Communist-Socialist, the operative is the same exact and identical Speech: Organized-Violence. Then on what terms is anything critiqued? Save on the realization of mature intention and the development of the business of human existence without the distortions of Flags and Banners. Under which every critique and proscription of behavior of the socio-person achieves and attains the maturity of legitimacy. So when Georgetown University submitted to the necessary Accountability-Function of it's historical error of participating in the buying and selling of enslaved Black People, the error wasn't to American soil, but it was to that Flagless and Soilless Business of Human Existence. The Nations imprisonment schemes, which Georgetown's Law Journal critiques is understood as a continuum of that historical "error" of buying and selling humans and merely publishing a normative view by the imprisoned is a "wink and nod".
