MCCURDY, R. (2021). Did Slavery Ever Really End? (Doctoral dissertation, University of Hull). Abstract: The United States of America was founded on the exploitation of African slaves ’labor, and that exploitation continued far after their emancipation. Instead of plantations, the method of labor exploitation is the prison industrial complex. Private corporations work with the government to exploit prisoners ’vulnerable position in society, making them work long hours for low pay to maximize their profit. Despite politicians ’claims of America’s progressive nature relating to racial discrimination against black Americans, the country’s criminal justice institutions have not substantially changed in terms of their functioning on racial prejudices; they have just learned to mask them with racially coded language, shifting to a ‘colorblind ’presentation in which the legislation will target black Americans without explicitly saying so, but criminalize certain behaviors commonly associated with black communities. Understanding the historical background and evolution of systemic racism is crucial to grasping how firmly established it is within the modern institutions of America and why the public accepts the mass incarceration of black Americans. Today’s criminal justice institutions function on implicit racial biases, including law enforcement, prosecutors, criminal courts as well as landmark United States Supreme Court decisions that have upheld systemic racism. This has resulted in the drastic overcriminalization and overrepresentation in the prison population of black Americans. The legislation of the War on Crime and War on Drugs enacted after the 1964 Civil Rights Act permits the legalized discrimination against people with felony convictions which disproportionately affect black communities, including limiting their right to vote, access to government financial assistance and public housing, mirroring many of the policies that were repealed along with Jim Crow laws in the 1960s.

3moNO….and in America the 13th Amendment guaranteed that is would not end. So the name “Slave” is replaced by “Inmate”. Thus, SLAVERY is a bad human trait that HUMANS or other intellectual beings cannot shake off and it makes GOD look bad for making such people and showing little to no correction. However, how a nonviolent person falls for such entrapment is another research question that must be answered. Or it is simply thr fear that their life will be taken away if they don’t agree with their incarceration? EXAMPLE: If an organization is prosperous and/or it fails, then who is ultimately responsible! ANSWER: The LEADER! Thus, if I created HUMANS I would have put regulators on them and all they could do would be GOOD. PEACE…
