1) Ye’s going to stir up some shiiiiiiiit with this 13th amendment talk, buuuuuuuut in typical Yeezy fashion, there’s what he’s saying, then there’s what people THINK he’s saying.
2) Remember Trump’s Pershing tweets? “MY GOD HE WANTS TO COVER TERRORIST BODIES IN PIGS BLOOD!” Liberal media outlets cried in horror.

nytimes.com/2017/08/17/us/…
3) However, Pershing’s ACTUAL strategy, once you did more than just cursory wikipedia research like the average Racist New York Times writer, was... going around and making friends with all the local tribal leaders to encourage them to stop rebellions.
4) Lessons Trump took to heart, not that half wit reporters with a bullshit journalism degree from a liberal arts college would have the critical thinking skills to realize it.
5) So, let’s lay out some facts.

The 13th amendment didn’t abolish slavery.
6)
7) “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, *except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted*, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
8) The 13th amendment creates when combined with the 14th amendment a way to legally ‘deperson’ someone, ie remove from them the rights of being a free citizen, upon the commission of a felony.
9) Specifically, section 2 of the 14th amendment, passed as part of the effort to deal with the Reconstruction, “except for participation in rebellion, or other crime,” specifically the ‘or other crime’ tidbit.
10) With the increased incarceration rates, this in effect creates a kind of perpetual slave class within the United States. Youth from inner cities get incarcerated more, they reach adulthood and cycle through prisons...
11) While in prison they work for at most a dollar an hour BEFORE DEDUCTIONS, once they’re out of prison they face a hostile job market where finding gainful employment is an iffy proposition...
12) Due to their ex-convict status they often have to take under the table jobs paid in cash below minimum wage because who the fuck will they complain to since gainful employment is often a parole requirement...
13) Then recidivism rates gradually sweep up those former prisoners in a game of attrition, often leaving behind families with children who grow up to perpetuate the cycle because that’s all they know. Crime and slave labor, a continuous cycle of go fuck yourself.
14) Why do you think rappers memorialize going out in a hail of gunfire?

Better than getting arrested and taking another trip through the system again, 100 mil for bail ‘cause they African
15) See, what @kanyewest and @KimKardashian are doing is a multifaceted approach to hit the problem from multiple angles, and they’re doing so with the first President who’s given a damn.
@kanyewest @KimKardashian 16) Leftists, of course, are going to scream “BUT BUT BUT HE WANTS TO ABOLISH THE 13TH AMENDMENT AND BRING BACK SLAVERY!!!” Because leftists are FUCKING STUPID.
@kanyewest @KimKardashian 17) Also, I just remembered the lyrics I was referencing should have been ‘half a mil for bail’ not 100 mil. Whoops. Fucking lack of an edit button.
@kanyewest @KimKardashian 18) ANYWAYS. In the words of Rick Sanchez, the 13th Amendment is just slavery with extra steps.
@kanyewest @KimKardashian 19) To help with the inflow and outflow of felons in the population, Ye wants to build apparel factories hiring felons, to help them once they leave prison and help them STAY out of prison. Simple enough step one.
@kanyewest @KimKardashian 20) The 13th amendment is the loophole allowing prisoners to be turned into slave laborers, going so far as to BATTLING FOREST FIRES IN CALIFORNIA for a dollar an hour. Yeah. Risking their lives, and they still get paid a fucking dollar. Before deductions.
@kanyewest @KimKardashian 21) Are crime and felonies immoral things that deserve punishment? Yes. Is slavery immoral? Also yes. So why do we allow prisoners to be turned into slaves in all but name? And why do we allow a self-perpetuating slave class to continue to cycle through out society?
@kanyewest @KimKardashian 22) Ye’s got FAR bigger plans than just ending the slave caste that exists in the United States. Remember this tweet of his?
@kanyewest @KimKardashian 23) @Thomaswictor said Ye was going to make changes happen, because he COULD make changes happen. And unlike Elon Musk who has mental breakdowns when the government stops subsidizing his company, Ye’s gonna build it from the ground up and create a new self-perpetuating cycle.
@kanyewest @KimKardashian @ThomasWictor 24) And in the meantime, well, with Ye’s whole nee attitude...

Let’s just say Democrats won’t have screamed that much since they had their slaves taken away the first time.
