@Regrann from @haki_kweli_shakur - #DrivingWhileBlack RPD is this Good police policy pulling guns on my nephew @boso_da_world in #ShockoeBottom Yelling Saying I'm a Kill you to innocent man just driving to go home Now what if he would of pulled the trigger this is why us as New Afrikan / Black People Don't Trust Police! It's ironic cause this happen where the hub of the domestic Slave Trade took place your policing still has symptoms of The Slave catchers they descend from that used Black codes and Vagrancy laws to harass and Kill Afrikan People! @richmondpolice @nbc12news @8news @cbs6 We Need Answers! __ Black Codes & Vagrancy Laws - Second, vagrancy laws made it a crime to be a certain type of person—anyone who fit the description of one of those colorful Elizabethan characters. Where most American laws required people to do something criminal before they could be arrested, vagrancy laws emphatically did not. _ Armed with this roving license to arrest, officials employed vagrancy laws for a breath-taking array of purposes: to force the local poor to work or suffer for their support; to keep out poor or suspicious strangers; to suppress differences that might be dangerous; to stop crimes before they were committed; to keep racial minorities, political troublemakers, and nonconforming rebels at bay. As these uses suggest, vagrancy laws were linked to a conception of postwar American society—as they had been linked to a conception of sixteenth-century English society—in which everyone had a proper place. The vagrancy law was often the go-to response against anyone who threatened, as many described it during vagrancy laws’ heyday, to move “out of place” socially, culturally, politically, racially, sexually, economically, or spatially. Over time, states and localities deployed and retooled vagrancy laws for use against almost any—real or perceived, old or new—threat to public order and safety. #BlackCodes #RPD #richmondpolicedepartment #VagrancyLaws #CopWatch #BadPolicing #newafrikan77wordpress #RichmondVA #Virginia #policebrutality #804 #RVA #DMV #HakiKweliShakur #Slavery #SaveShockoe #shockoebottom #12 #SlaveTrade #SlaveFugitiveLaws #SlaveFugitiveAct #Crimina

He speaks truth, #kkinte t on City being Cursed. @Regrann from @august_third_napla - K.Kinte @k1kinte of The K.Kinte Shown on Paying Homage to The Ancestors of The Slave Trade and How City Would of Been Cursed if They Would of Built a Sports Stadium in Shockoe Bottom The Epicenter of North Americas's Slave Trade! __ The Cobblestone Streets are reminders of the chains and barefeet the Afrikan Ancestors Walked on Some Bloody , Some Say These Stones Came from European with the Colonialist Settlers , Cobblestone streets led from this "geographical heart of the slave trading district, 1852-1863," with some 50 slave-holding facilities, to fashionable hotels where dealers had offices and buyers rented upstairs rooms, a placard reads. Red flags would be raised over the roof of such fine establishments as the Bell, Exchange and Ballard hotels when an auction was to take place! __ From the 1820s until the war, slaves walked the path in the other direction, from holding facilities in Shockoe Bottom across the river to Manchester docks, as Richmond shipped 'surplus" slaves to markets farther south for resale to the huge sugar and cotton plantations after the tobacco economy hit a slump. By 1859 half a million slaves had been sold from Virginia to the Deep South, with more in 1854 than any other year, as many as 10,000 a month. #TheKKinteShow #newafrikan77wordpress #ShockoeBottom #SaveShockoe #Comcast #Verizon #TVShow #TalkShow #Broadcast #NewYork #Atlanta #Losangeles #Lasvegas #Africa #Benin #RVA #DMV #Virginia #RichmondVA Leearango123 - #regrann @regrann #leearango123shareanythingipost (at The Hammocks, Miami, Florida)

So they want to build a baseball stadium over the archeological remains of slavery at #ShockoeBottom. Now, I like stadiums but not when they sit atop a people's heritage! Let's #SaveShockoe by letting Mayor Dwight Jones and Richmond's city council know that we'd very much like to keep the evidence of this history. It's easy: visit http://savingplac.es/1lrZDwr and send in your letter supporting the preservation of Shockoe Bottom's historical remains. There is a template letter that you can personalise. (Click on the blue "Call on Mayor Dwight Jones and Richmond's City Council") #showmeyoursandillshowyoumine

#saveshockoe They are trying to cover up the history of slavery with a baseball stadium. #RVA get it together. This state is so proud of it's disgusting plantations yet so quick go destroy where slaves were held prisoner and traded.

regram @lupitanyongo Today Shockoe Bottom is a cultural hot spot in RVA: restaurants, clubs, bars, you name it... But yesterday it was the largest slave-trading district in America, only second to New Orleans. This is a place where history coexists with modernity. But there are those who think history belongs only in books... And some who want to preserve our right to see it... Which are you? #SaveShockoe
