Slavery never left it just got rebranded.

The Thirteenth Amendment needs to be amended.

Per Wikipedia: The Thirteenth Amendment (Amendment XIII) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. The amendment was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, by the House of Representatives on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the required 27 of the then 36 states on December 6, 1865, and proclaimed on December 18, 1865. It was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted following the American Civil War.

    This is a good picture of “polite” racism in the North, too. We won’t call them the N word, we’ll just have them taken away.

      Yeah, makes me wonder who’s in the meat packing plants in WI; I’m sure the answer is more depressing than I thought.
