Slavery never ended. A carveout for slavery is still legal slavery. We haven't ended slavery in America at all, just changed the legal method of obtaining a slave and making it so only corporations get to have slaves.
We're such a fucking disgusting sorry excuse for a country.
(For those "JuSt LeAvE tHeN" I wish I could, but any country worth a damn has strict immigration requirement$ I don't meet...)
i wonder which other countries do the same?
looks like its poland, brazil, rwanda, belarus, vietnam, egypt, myanmar, mongolia, china, mali, zimbabwe, turkmenistan, russia, libya, eritrea, north korea.
Sound like those are also shitty countries that still have legal slavery that needs to end... :/
Kinda like the Imperial measurement system, if you are being compared to Myanmar then perhaps stop?
Weird that you left off France, the UK, Germany, Canada, Japan, and Korea.
The difference is that in these countries prisoners only have to work for the prison itself, doing stuff like cleaning, washing dishes, etc. They can work for a private company if they wish, but that's not required.
Hard labor an increasing punishment for poor people unable to pay fines
Worked to death but its okay because the prison itself profits.
The Arkansas Governor's mansion was staffed by prison inmates for over a century. A lot of the post-80s privatization has resulted in convicts becoming corporate chattle. But for a long while we had a more traditional fascist take of public sector slave labor.
There's a reason the average black male spends 1/3 of their life in prison in America.
And then has the right to vote taken away when they get out....
This is so obviously bullshit, but I looked it up anyways. The closest source I could find was this page which claims a black male born in 2001 has a 1 in 3 chance of going to prison.
So yea. Don't lie, it discredits your cause.
Lol it's a lyric from dead prez, wouldn't get bent out of shape about it. Literally written in 2000 - I can't even find stats that old 🤷
Way to spin it when called out for your lying.

[Chorus: stic.man] The average Black male Live a third of his life in a jail cell 'Cause the world is controlled by the white male And the people don't never get justice...

It's the new 2/3 compromise.
