Very enlightening, peep if you get the chance

1942

We still have slaves, we call them prisoners now

from sugar and cotton fields to license plates

Bruh the fact the Atlantic slave trade was ever a thing

imagine a world where it never happened, can’t even do it

I’m in the wrong timeline

this video rocked me
im speechless

Same

Shocking but not surprised, the South tried their hardest during Reconstruction to return blacks to pre civil war era with weird loopholes

Isn’t questlove’s distant relative the last slave in America?

N/A

Slavery is still legal

Watch the video before commenting please
He clearly says cattle slavery
Im trying to spread knowledge stop using this an opportunity to hop on your soapbox

Chattel

Yes I was wrong

"last" "slave" "free" "America"

the fact that i aint even heard of the term chattel slavery is maddening
or debt peonage
like i knew about modern prison labor but man
what the absolute f***

yea they intentionally keep the advent of chattel slavery obfuscated so that american slavery seems "natural"

There was a time I’d argue teaching CRT wouldnt change anything
I still dont tbh but proper context of this countries history is something we all deserve

Learned about Chattel slavery, indentured Servitude, and Jim Crow laws from AP History.

My professor was also black and dived a bit deep into off the book history.

absolutely
simply put the truth needs to be taught

they never have and never will tell the history of this country as long as the narrative maintains the hierarchy conducive to profit.

public schools even now are being defunded as private schools continue to grow

Also, the video relates to what Americana said about Slavery being legal lol

learned about this s*** in uni I took an African American history class

convict leasing was crazy

More then anything it shows how the practice evolved using legal loopholes
