Slavery was terrible for anyone black.

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago

Not just them. Especially them. Slavery hurts everyone who works. We should gut slavery from the 13th amendment completely. The 13th amendment carve out for slavery is directly related to our racially disparate, booming prison populations. And zero focus on actual rehabilitation and assistance to help people out of those cycles. That would be bad for the steady involuntary workforce in many states.
