You are not crazy, you are NOT alone. They have systemized their gaslighting and denials to instantly isolate and shot down anyone who objects, especially black Americans, to make them feel like fools when those like you are actually speaking the truth. Black American labor is captured into state owned contracts that they can lease out to private companies. You can see the database on WorthRises, over 4,000. Of course, some latinos are leased out too. But typically, it is black American labor, which shouldn't surprise you. You can view video testimonies on YouTube from them, just type in Britt and EndtheException to listen to her testimony working five years under an Alabama state-owned convict leasing contract to Burger King in a call center. She didn't get paid and was dumped out on to the street after five years (the length of the contract it appears and her sentence). Leave a comment for her if you feel like expressing your support of this wonderful brave black American woman. She needs to be believed like you do. Thank you!
