And from your link, Aimée, I'm reminded of Native American slavery, which doesn't have inherent dislocation either.
Tsk, tsk.
Danger's my birthright.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

SO PISSED I didn't find that link earlier. I could have included that as well. I just might anyway since it is a discussion week and I need to post more responses.

Happy Birthday to my honeybunny Liv!!!
Tess had stripped naked, drawn some sort of toddler tribal symbols all over her body with bath crayons and was standing in front of her mirror yelling, "YEAAAHH!"
I know many adults who do this.
Hell, I know many *Buffistas* who do this.

Punishingly Intricate
I really dislike this. Not that it's not a valid choice of framing for a discussion, but just because I think it happens enough that people think of it as the slavery, instead of one instance of slavery.
And framing it that way also puts slavery firmly in the past ignoring it as a current problem.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
And what's really funny (not "haha" funny) about that is that the discussion question is "How did slavery cause evolution in "White" and "Black" America?"

The status is NOT quo.
Everyone needs to take African American history and literature. It's amazing how little most people know, not to mention how much misinformation they think they know. I miss teaching AA Lit so much.

Perzactly.

Instead of taking African American Lit, I took African American Theatre & Its History. It was made of awesome.
