There's an analogy between witch-burning & southern lynching. Quite a few of the latter were to get rid of Black businessmen who competed too well with white merchants. One result of witch burning was to drive women out of the brewing business. I believe there were other occupations from which women were driven by the threat of being charged with witchcraft. Carrol ^^^^^^^ CB: It's important to make historical materialist analyses like this. In Michigan now. there is an upsurge in white supremacy in Michigan state government to trick masses of white voters into accepting actions to steal the City of Detroit's public assets. pension, revenue streams, wages and benefits of workers and shifting them to 1%'ers. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
