Weird and racist.

Also doesn't the US actually have a vast slave labour force? Aren't 1 in 15 black men in for profit prisons making fucking licence plates or pudding or whatever.

Hillary had actual ~~slaves~~ extremely cheap prisoner-servants at the governor's mansion.

Making frozen McDonald's hamburgers, working in call centers for Verizon and Sprint, making jeans and fancy panties, and taking reservations for American airlines.

Not to mention the work farms that produce food, raise and process cattle.

A typical American, over the course of a week, consumes several products and utilizes several services that are reliant on prison slave labor.

Unnecessarily pedantic point: for-profit prisons are less common (though they exist). The companies that scalp money from the prisoners for goods and services, and the companies that "pay" them for labor are all for profit.
