Un-Democratic "Controls"

Too long and too often America's Black population have been treated as "marginal" citizens. Too long and too often the efforts of this segment of America's society have been relegated or "set aside" with repressive laws, policies, and politics--leading to the installment of the likes of Rutherford B. Hayes--"shutting down" constructive periods of America's history. And each "controlling" "lock-down" has its immediate affect upon the brow, heart, and soul of America's Black, marginal segment of society--but with equality ever in the "promising."

Of what types of oppressive "controls," one asks? Defined in America's history are the enactment of "codes" and Laws of "Jim Crow"--of themselves "proof" that inequality was then the sole purpose of any major legislative concern. How be it that such practices heralds from the era of the Continental Congress to present day?
