https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1046466533973590016 seriously what the fuck
He is saying the prison system is slavery
ngl the prison system is fucked in america
Either that or he's saying that Donald Trump will enslave people when their prison sentences are up, as a full employment programme.
it is.... very clumsily written, I have no fucking idea what he's saying.
I wouldn't blame private prisons on the 13th Amendment despite its due process clause.
Maybe amend the 13th?
He was doing so well.
Amendement 13: Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been convicted, shall exist within the united states, or any place subject to their jurisdiction
or replace the 13th?
Candace Owens, doxxing website aside, makes salient points.
wasn't private prisons shittyness related to nixon
(Seriously fuck Owens as a debater.)
Nah this is a typical leftist view
someone remind me how those shitholes got started
they think that the 13th amendment legalizes prison slavery
in a sense it does
It does.
IE promotes it and is therefore not an end to slavery, its just changing who can/cant own slaves
More or less.
The 13th amendment is the state saying they have a monopoly on slavery.
just like reality check, is anybody still seriously in favor of our fucked up prison system?
I'm enjoying the 50/50 split between "that dumbass" and "he kind of has a point"
Hes a dumbass and has no point
The 13th Amendment is just making an exception for penal labor.
repealing this would only re-legalize slavery across the board
I think maybe he's just taking a page out of Donald Trump's book: say something salient in a way which sounds almost too outrageous for your reputation to bear... then enjoy the free news coverage.
Pretty much
He corrected his statement to amend
Well, it's not like it would be legal to take new slaves though, in the U.S.
Minimum wage laws, for example, would apply.
You'd have to get people to uhh....
I would support penal labor even more if it funded restitution for the victims of the crime.
If minimum wage paid the bills. lol
Yeah I don't think there really is any legal way to create new slaves, nor to import them into the U.S. at this point.
I heard a while ago that they (the system? the gov?) can borrow money against a cetain % of people going to jail doing cheap labour.
The 13th amendment is actually redundant now.
It's probably the only amendment we don't need. Slavery is too unpopular.
