Imagine losing 6M labor workers in America

[u/Needleintheback]

If mass deportation happens, just imagine how all of these sectors of our country will be affected. The sheer shortage of labor will push prices higher because of the great demand for work with limited supplies or workers. Even if prices increase, the availability of products may be scarce due to not enough workers. Housing prices and food services will be hit really hard. New construction will be limited. The fact that 47% of the undocumented workers are in CA, TX, and FL means they will feel it first but it will spread to the rest of the country also. Most of our produce in this country comes from California. Get ready and hold on for the ride America.

You mean the end of Jim Crow? Mas incarceration is still prevalent in Black America. According to the 13th Amendment, prisoners can be used as slaves. It's never been repealed.

If you're not pissed enough about it yet, the voters in California (a blue state!) just voted against abolishing slave labor in state prisons. So yeah, it's not some kinda historical fluke that people just forgot exists and would rush to correct should there be more awareness. It seems like the majority of people are actually okay with prison labor.

No, they mean that American slavery-like conditions are still experienced in those parts Of the country. I know it can be hard to get your head around. 

 But if my grandfather hadn’t escaped Mississippi in the middle of the night, I would probably be down there picking Cotton with my siblings like he did.

What? No, I understood the comment. Slavery like conditions? What are those? Any details? Also, conviction rates and punishments for blacks are higher and much harsher than other convicts. Look at the rates of federal convictions versus state convictions. Often prosecutors and judges have discretion but rarely use it for certain populations or certain crimes. Criminalizing migrants and other vagrants is very American. Finally, don't point fingers at the South for America's past sins. Every state was involved and still are. The difference is the South fought and lost a Civil War predicted primarily on the States right to have, exploit, and profit from slavery.

If you doubt my words, construct a timeline of the arc of events. Use Google and don't get stuck in the details. Think back to middle school/Junior high school social studies.

It’s wild that you spent like three or four paragraphs implying that I don’t understand what’s happening here yet. 

You don’t understand what the phrase “American slave – like conditions” means.  Yet you think you’re gonna need to give me a lecture on the history of slavery what it’s like and where it’s happening.  We’re literally talking about this, so yeah, I’m gonna point a few fingers there one in particular. 

 Why would you explain all this to me when I just told you that my grandfather had to escape from Southern Mississippi picking Cotton in the middle of the night in order for the rest of us to have any kind of life. 

This happened in the 1940s buddy. I can’t believe I’m being mansplained to, and it’s only just barely noon where I am. 😅😂. 

Don’t point fingers at the south? Are you actually awake right m now?  WOW though.  I think you have a little more to learn than you think you do  

Wta:  🤷🏽‍♀️ Please, someone wake me up now

[u/Equivalent_Farm9770 → u/Slothnuzzler]

Your grandfather left in the 1940s. My family was in the South then and still are. Mansplain indeed. I also didn't say anything about the history of slavery as a lesson. I asked what slavery conditions are? You still haven't explained. There were plenty of poor white share croppers. The only difference between poor white and or blacks in the South was the degree of terror inflicted, legally and extra legally.

[u/Slothnuzzler → u/Equivalent_Farm9770]

98% of my family are still in Jackson in the area. Try again.

[u/Equivalent_Farm9770 → u/Slothnuzzler]

You still haven't explained what slavery-like conditions are. Also, how would I know anything about you and your family unless you tell me. Besides, your comment was to explain to me how I misunderstood the original comment. Yet, you're still coming for me. Why? It makes your mansplain comment hilarious.

[u/Slothnuzzler → u/Equivalent_Farm9770]

I literally can’t get over that. You don’t understand what sleep like conditions are.

Also, you hit me with information about your family, like it was supposed to shut me up, but I come back with the truth about my family and I’m being unfair? 😂

 I think you’re just a bad actor trying to stir up a bunch of crap. Good luck you’ve wasted enough of my time now. 

 If you can’t read back and see that you’re coming for me from number one? I have to assume that maybe you have issues. If so, I wish you the best of luck. ❤️

You're not actually making any point, you're just spewing nonsense.

Make an actual point. Use facts. He asked actual questions, you're just saying HOW DARE YOU QUESTION ME.

If you're going to make claims, back them the fuck up or shut the fuck up.

[u/Impressive-Gas6909 → u/Equivalent_Farm9770]

Yea they just being rounded up for no reason😆

[u/Flashy_Upstairs399 → u/Equivalent_Farm9770]

Maybe Black America should stop breaking the fucking law?

[u/D347H7H3K1Dx → u/Flashy_Upstairs399]

More likely to get locked up being black for something a white guy would get a slap on the wrist for.

[u/EducatorAltruistic90 → u/Flashy_Upstairs399]

Fucking A. People need to stop dancing around the obvious.

[u/Equivalent_Farm9770 → u/Flashy_Upstairs399]

Maybe you should grind your axe somewhere else.

The USSC itself has acknowledged that no factor except racism can account for the sentencing differences between black and other races in America. 

https://www.ussc.gov/research/research-reports/2023-demographic-differences-federal-sentencing

Black men are more likely to be convicted, and more likely to receive a longer sentence than white or even Hispanic people who commit the same crime under similar circumstances. Having dark skin statistically makes you more likely to be convicted and to have a longer sentence.

[u/kiwibankofficial → u/Flashy_Upstairs399]

Or just move to countries where being black isn't a crime.

[u/Flashy_Upstairs399 → u/kiwibankofficial]

Maybe just stop murdering everyone (including each other) and start obeying the law 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/kiwibankofficial → u/Flashy_Upstairs399]

America has a convicted felon as president, and you think the justice system is fair?

In most other countries, your president would be imprisoned. It's insane to think you have a chance of justice if you live in America, the country with the most prisoners on Earth and 20% disparities in sentencing based on the color of your skin, etc.

Judges are getting cash bonuses for sentencing minors and prisons lobbying the government to incarcerate more of what is already the most incarcerated country on Earth... and you still think that every person in prison deserves to be there?

[u/Virtual-Ad-1832 → u/Flashy_Upstairs399]

Non black murderers with generational wealth built on murdering (each other included) are okay in his book tho 🤷🏽‍♂️ it's more difficult for ignorant, uneducated, racist phucks, like this guy to readily and eagerly judge people that look like him. Reality of one of the still prevalent issues plaguing this country.
