I think that a country that conducts involuntary servitude or slavery as per the Exception Clause of the 13th amendment is white racist towards minorities and blacks in particular. It's not hypocritical at all to fight to end a constitutional amendment allows for over 800,000 minorities per day to have their labor captured into government contracts that are rented out to companies, corporations, and even other governments. Yes, although I grew up in poverty but rose out of it thanks to white privilege, you're correct. So, I should just ignore the suffering like forced labor going in prisons? On the land of Angola state prison today, black hands are picking cotton in forced servitude, as has been done every year for the last 180 years? Should I ignore that and just go, Oh well, I feel privileged, and just ignore this fact. The 2015 Atlantic article detailed this slavery, where the state government owns the labor and forces blacks to work, picking cotton among other things. That type of autocracy should be fine with me? In 2022, the state of Louisiana voted down a measure to erase slavery or involuntary servitude from the state. It failed. Whites showed up to vote NO, defeating the measure that would have ended the depraved type of slavery about 68 percent, led by the current government landry. That cotton is sent to Cargill, who consolidates all the cotton in American and India and sends much of it to China? That should be OK with me. I do not choose to turn my back on my fellow humans. I have not been writing for four years on this topic of white racism in America and researching it because I have nothing better to do. I could have quit. I chose not to. Democracy is the unalienable rights of all. My mother who is a Quaker in a religion that fought for the abolition of slavery since 1652, with the first written abolitionist document published in the British colonies in 1688 in German town. 50 years later, a French ship from Senegal arrived bring an enslaved Senegalese woman to Louisiana bring the first of my four enslaved ancestor to Louisiana. But I don't pretend to be "black", as I found out last year. Instead I chose to fight to understand the repression and why this slavery continues and yet few people --black or white--care to understand it and fight to end it.

Have you tracked the Abolition Network or Worth Rises? Have you seen the videos of black and some other colored Americans testifying on the internet, on YouTube, on the WorthRises videos to hear THEIR testimony abou their slavery in prison, like Britt who worked in prison for five years whose labor was used by Burger King where she got nothing and responded to recognize her humanity stolen by the state and rented out against her will? No, of course not. No one left a comment on her testimony, Nor Kenyatta's, not Johnny's and others. I wrote a column last year and urged people to listen to their testimony of enslavement, two minutes of testimony, then leave a comment recognizes their human worth and how difficult and brave they are to step forward. No one did it. No one actually watches or cares, they only comment. You want to hate me, fine. But do the work to recognize and restore the humanity of black Americans. No, I haven't experience white racism against blacks, that's true, but does that mean I can recognize and fight and research the subject. I won't stop. My writing does not feed into it but acts against it.

It doesn't matter what you think or what I think when actual indentured servitude exists and every day 800,000 minorities and women are used as a source of free labor by state and federal governments. You don't believe it because you have looked at the Abolition Amendment proposed by congresswoman Nikema Williams from Georgia, support by Senator Cory Booker and Senator Merkley. Read it and believe it exists. There are actually "white" people who never stopped fighting for abolition and end to slavery, which exists but you don't want to research or read about. You should. You can call me what you want. You don't know me at all. I'm a fighter not a quitter. But those who suffer under the weight of it for 158 years are ignored. That's a destruction of democracy that happens every day.
