Dekalb County, GA, keepin' slavery alive.

I'm just so sick of this kind of total crap. Every person who tries to excuse it or stands by silently participates in it too.

Residents shocked that DeKalb County, Georgia, juror form lists ‘slave’ as occupation

Slave drop-down DeKalb WXIA


Jurors in DeKalb County, Georgia, were surprised to find “slave” listed as an occupational choice in a new online questionnaire.

Court Administrator Cathy McCumber said the questionnaire went online about a month ago but was based on an internal list used for 13 years by the court.

She said that list is 62 pages long, so she’s not sure whether the word “slave” has always been included or whether it was added before the questionnaire went online.

A juror candidate said he spotted the option when he typed in “S” for his own job field, sales, and other residents said they were shocked.
