Time to reset the “it’s been X days since the last American slave was freed” counter.

It’s literally never been reset. The 13th amendment gives an exception for slavery as punishment for a crime, so all you have to do is convict someone of a bullshit crime and then you’ve got yourself slave labor. It’s still legal. https://www.npr.org/2023/11/13/1210564359/slavery-prison-forced-labor-movement

I was thinking more of the illegal kind, which according to this, was in 1942.

Yup, and if you find yourself lacking slave driven profit, just pass another law, it’s not like the gerrymandered districts will be able to vote your guy out anyways.

But I’m reliably told that racism isn’t a thing any more.

It’s the argument the conservative supreme court used to eliminate many provisions of the civil rights act. Which other judges described as ‘‘standing in the rain under an umbrella and throwing away the umbrella because you’re not getting wet’’

One tries to not ‘judge a book by it’s cover’, and then people ( like these folks) go out of there way to make their cover match their life’s book. smh
