Why do you think the prison industrial complex exists
Why do you think they make shit like weed illegal and why do you think they arrest minorities for it in greater numbers than white people
What did you think “white privilege” meant? Not getting nervous looks from a Starbucks barista?
America is a slaver state, always has been.
