I hate how professional sports and for-profit prisons are just the way we pretend we don't enslave black men and make them compete in gladiatorial arenas for our amusement.
Wait we're pretending? I thought it was blatantly obvious that's what we're doing and our society just decided to be OK with it.
I'm not a huge South Park fan, but sometimes they get it so right. Have you seen the one where they make crack babies fight like a game and big money gets interested?
Cartman goes to the head of the NCAA in character as an old time plantation slavemaster and keeps getting confused that the NCAA boss doesn't realize he's a slaveowner too.
Damn it's painfully good.
South Park is very hit or miss, but I mean that in the best way possible, yet also the worst.
When they hit, it's a god damn homerun that smashes through the stratosphere and takes out a god damn military satellite
When they miss.... well, I start telling my closest loved ones about my e621 search history, because that's less embarrassing by comparison.
I've seen the restrictions they put College Athletes on, people here on visas have less fucking restrictions. Former convicted felons have more rights, even if they're not living in a "Ban the box" state. It's like they're TRYING to break their spirits in addition to maximizing profit. I mean the latter sure, but the former too? Why? It's no wonder crazy people believe the country is ruled by Reptilian Demiurges farming the planet for negative emotional energy, because I can't think of much else they could do differently if they were.
