Historically, the words marse and massa were used in writing to represent spoken alterations of the word master that were associated especially with the speech of enslaved African Americans. In modern contexts, the word massa is considered offensive, especially when used by a person who is not Black to imitate stereotypes of African American English or to make reference to slavery. The use of marse is usually limited to historical contexts and may be considered offensive in modern ones.
To me, the fact that for-profit prisons exist, is the perfect manifestation of the disease that's killing our country. It's one of the most unbelievably obvious examples of how unchecked capitalism ends up

Private prisons lobby to make harsher sentencing laws. Seems like they already knew their profits came from human misery in the first place
