- On November 12th, Jason Stanley (Professor of Philosophy at Yale University) visited CBU to deliver a lecture about his book, HOW PROPAGANDA WORKS (Princeton UP, 2015), and the mass incarceration that characterizes the criminal justice system in the U.S.
I was in prison with a guy doing 12 years for drug possession (not distribution), and another one doing 9 years for a half pound of pot. They were both first offenders.

There are huge injustices and racism in our for profit prison system in the US. We need to work to fix these inequities. That is the underlying issue.
Wow that was deep. I see some commenters had a hard time following Stanley in this one and it could just be style preferences, but I watched this on the heel of a Michelle Alexander lecture that happened to be a really good primer for this one. The take home is that it’s easy for white people to overlook what’s happened in the black community because we still live largely segregated lives for many many reasons, but that there is a really dark history that tracks all the way from slavery to the present day that really made living as a Black person in America unsustainable which was the whole point.

be specific
@@livi_gigi_art Black people are far more likely to get incarcerated than non-blacks in virtually every country on earth, including black countries like South Africa and Jamaica.
blizzard has no idea what he is talking about
your historical comparisons are a little shaky... ones that professional historians might explain with better analysis... such as the war between the states, freedom of states' rights against a powerful central government (current prison/justice system?) It was the wealthy southerners' point; but the ones who died in the war were 99% NOT slave owners (the masses), so either they were fighting for aristocrats' rights & from the 'propaganda' of those folks... so it is a kind of apples & oranges as a comparison; then the feds RETREATED after the war & a country was destroyed by war & poverty ...said: now your'e on your own, thus the KKK, etcetcetc. mistakes were made in Reconstruction!!!!!
SO I think the history of the word itself (Latin, propagare) & the history of the Latin Romans is perhaps the best historical exploration of the definition of propaganda; but your points on our large, (centralized), PRISON INSTITUTIONS, exploration of what social justice is & how we are failing at this, (what of the privatization of prison systems? what of the drug war? etc., how liberalism has erred & is vilified by the right for decades now?) but your discourse. is right-on, mostly on identifying the problem...finding the cause & some answers is more complex, however, not just a black/white problem, but a poor masses & ignorance & propaganda problem also?. identifying the problem & injustice is enlightening and the first step!....thanks.
