And there were also often laws that curtailed their right to freedom of movement after they were manumitted, meaning they were forced by law to remain in the county/state in which hey had been freed.

That’s not even the worst of what I continued to find; dude is a prolific pile of excrement. I had to stop digging, because I literally felt like I was about to pass out from rage and disgust. This guy is so much worse than these two articles about him illustrate.

Aw, *damn*!

Much appreciated!

I saw him on his current tour. He performed Albuquerque, and it was a manic delight. I was never a hard-core Weird Al fan, but this was—no lie—one of my favorite live shows, and I’ve seen many. He was charming, the band is tight, and he is legitimately an excellent singer and performer.

Black, female, (former) comic store patron, here; can confirm the extra awfulness.

This is a terrible standard.

This is a terrible example.

I appreciate your appreciation of fencer butts.
