    If you’re surprised, it just means you’re ignorant of how US prisons “work”

    It should be better for everyone, but it’s not.

      It’s not likely to change either. Slavery is still constitutional as long as your slaves are prison inmates. Read that amendment again if you doubt. This country’s politics requires an underclass to scapegoat for its troubles. Always has always will.

        I’m pretty sure everyone knows about the 14th amendment…

        Like, it’s not an obscure trivia question, just from rap lyrics people know about it, it’s not a secret

          Yeah, on lemmy, you’re probably right. I guess Im just used to being surrounded by morons.

          Ill consider the audience more carefully next time.
