The 13th amendment in no way outlawed slavery. It just redefined how it is to be done
“EXCEPT AS PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME”
Arkansas is trying to get an amendment on the ballot for this election that would make slavery as punishment illegal.
That ballot initiative is being led by Roderick Talley, the guy who got Little Rock police on his security cameras breaking into his apartment and raiding it for cocaine and later sued the department and got some of their policies changed to reduce these raids. He’s also leading an initiative to restore voting rights to felons in Arkansas and running for state representative this year.
Black activists on Twitter have been sending this link around today. It’s a long document with anti-racism resources geared toward white people who want to effectively help their Black neighbors in the fight against white supremacy.
Note: I did NOT compile these resources, I am simply sharing them.
“We investigated ourselves and found ourselves innocent.”
Justice. To be ever ready to admit that another person is something quite different from what we read when he is there (or when we think about him). Or rather, to read in him that he is certainly something different, perhaps something completely different from what we read in him. Every being cries out silently to be read differently.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
