When you are under the same government but laws are enforced differently to you vs to others: there is a purpose.
Unfortunately America has the same spirit now that it had in 1865. They changed the laws but just got smarter on how they enforced and secured the profits of oppression. It’s well known how the economic benefits and profits of slavery have continued in many creative ways.
- prison (the 13th amendment didn’t ban slavery, it transferred the economic value of slaves to the prison industry)
- abortion (abortion was funded and set up specifically to limit African Americans)
- redlining (restricting certain property to certain people)
- war on drugs (promoting and criminalizing certain drugs in certain areas)
- usury (charging exhorbitant interest to certain people)
- extortion (lynchings of African American business owners and destruction of successful African American neighborhoods)
The 13th Amendment continued slavery, just in a different way.
Which is why Prison became an INDUSTRY to be INVESTED IN – with Strategic Cultural and Economic INVESTMENTS.
Jeremiah 34
8 The word came to Jeremiah from the Lord after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim freedom for the slaves. 9 Everyone was to free their Hebrew slaves, both male and female; no one was to hold a fellow Hebrew in bondage. 10 So all the officials and people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their male and female slaves and no longer hold them in bondage. They agreed, and set them free. 11 But afterward they changed their minds and took back the slaves they had freed and enslaved them again.
12 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 13 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. I said, 14 ‘Every seventh year each of you must free any fellow Hebrews who have sold themselves to you. After they have served you six years, you must let them go free.’[a] Your ancestors, however, did not listen to me or pay attention to me. 15 Recently you repented and did what is right in my sight: Each of you proclaimed freedom to your own people. You even made a covenant before me in the house that bears my Name. 16 But now you have turned around and profaned my name; each of you has taken back the male and female slaves you had set free to go where they wished. You have forced them to become your slaves again.
17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says: You have not obeyed me; you have not proclaimed freedom to your own people. So I now proclaim ‘freedom’ for you, declares the Lord—‘freedom’ to fall by the sword, plague and famine. I will make you abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth. 18 Those who have violated my covenant and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two and then walked between its pieces. 19 The leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials, the priests and all the people of the land who walked between the pieces of the calf, 20 I will deliver into the hands of their enemies who want to kill them. Their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.
