The USA has slavery to this very day, no wonder wounds can't heal.

Read the 13th in full

Yes I understand there is a prisoner loophole in the 13th (that I don't agree with). But you are also kinda making my point. It took 100 years until the civil rights movement. And it's been 60 years since then. Things get better slowly.

It's not a loophole, it's a feature. Have you ever wondered why the US has the most people imprisoned? It's specifically so they can lease oligarchs slave labour.

Frankly calling the consistent enslavement of minorities a "loophole" is ethically repugnant.

Yea a purposeful loophole. I don't even understand why/what you are arguing at this point? I agree it's not a good loophole, we are on the same side but you are so unlikeable.
