Yep. Especially since Kanye West released New Slaves 2 years ago:
See they'll confuse us with some bullshit
Like the New World Order
Meanwhile the DEA
Teamed up with the CCA
They tryna lock niggas up
They tryna make new slaves
See that's that privately owned prison
Get your piece today
They prolly all in the Hamptons
Bragging 'bout what they made
The ACLU signed up on Genius to annotate this and sparked lots of conversations. I also see it regularly mentioned every time something such as Ferguson happens.
- emehrkay 11y agoI love how piece could also be peace in that line. I am reading The New Jim Crow and it is fascinating. The author talks about how prisons were utilized as a means to get free labor after slavery ended and how laws in this country were/are designed to keep black people in jail. Good read so far http://www.amazon.com/dp/1595586431/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=66602494644&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12310126189639521031&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_4wgnuzkc48_b http://www.amazon.com/dp/1595586431/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=...
