They are trying to whitewash slavery because they need it to look good for when they bring it back.

Welcome to Post Oil Feudalism

They're in for a rude awakening when they realize subjugating the many doesn't work well when you're the few and you don't understand science or technology, and you give guns out like candy to everyone.

When?

"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."

Cute that you think the right cares about what's in the Constitution anymore apart from the second half of the Second Amendment.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

The only amendments that conservatives recognize are the second and 5th, you would think that they would wonder why there is no first third or fourth amendment, but math isn't exactly their strong suit.

They're all about the first when they're mad they got fired for spouting Nazi bullshit on twitter. They just don't understand it very well.

If the Constitution lets them abuse black people (see the school to prison pipeline), then the right is all for it.

He's saying it never left. It's not "when they bring it back" since it never went away.
