[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 2648243, member: 56035"] your on the corporate plantation. it reminds me how some corporations do these phony pep talks to make their workers feel like they are part of a "corporate family".

When the field Negroes got too much out of line, he held them back in check. He put 'em back on the plantation. The house Negro could afford to do that because he lived better than the field Negro. He ate better, he dressed better, and he lived in a better house. He lived right up next to his master - in the attic or the basement. He ate the same food his master ate and wore his same clothes.
