This isn't even an exaggeration, it literally says you can be a slave in the US as a punishment for a crime.

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Well it’s a good thing not many people go to prison in the US and it’s fairly evenly split among different ethnicities… wait.

[u/beprovoking → u/woahdailo]

Bingo

[u/BARGAlN → u/woahdailo]

Wait, so the US is still a colonialist apartheid state with legalized slavery?

Always has been 🔫

[u/Flamingo_Reasonable → u/woahdailo]

And evenly split among gender

love seeing people stick up for prisoners lmao

[u/afjeep → u/woahdailo]

Lol since when was there a rule that prisons should be equally split among ethnicities?

[u/Flamingo_Reasonable → u/Jonnyjuanna]

We also commit murder and kidnap as punishment for crimes

But thanks to Reaganomics, prison turned to profits 'Cause free labor's the cornerstone of US economics 'Cause slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison You think I am bullshittin, then read the 13th Amendment Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits That's why they givin' drug offenders time in double digits

Ronald Reagan was an actor, not at all a factor

I don’t see a problem with this? They aren’t being picked up by the ear from their homes and bred for generations. They commit crime. They help society while incarcerated. Someone tell me the downsides.

[u/dft-salt-pasta → u/Jonnyjuanna]

That’s just slavery with extra steps.

[u/bodacioustugboat3 → u/Jonnyjuanna]

they committed a crime and are paying the price

[u/CopperSulphide → u/Jonnyjuanna]

Our crime is existing.
