Kanye thinks slavery was a choice. He’s not the only one.
The VOX author mostly gets it wrong also.
We have to distinguish between indentured servitude, practiced widely among all races, and Southern plantation slaves, a legally enslaved race. Southern plantation slavery lasted 50 years, but bad labor law has been around for 250.
So Kayne is partially right, blacks end up on the short end of labor law but it is not slavery. The constitution itself does not contain racist labor law, but it does hold up indentured servitude. That labor law came from Europe and widely practiced among Europeans, new migrants being the target.
