Also, slavery wasn't abolished
There you go saying prisoners are people again
Disgusting thinking. Can you imagine
Ah, the "except" in Amendment XIII.
...until 1942*
Slavery is still legal in the US now, they just need to be convicted of a crime first. Easy enough to find crimes to put people away for, and you can even selectively enforce laws against the people/race you don't like
Good thing the force behind enforcing laws and charging people as criminals is famously good-natured and held to the highest of accountability standards to prevent any possible corruption!
Oh wait.
Okay but that still makes Taylor Swift owning Kanye illegal because she is a private person.
I'm sure she could put some of that $700M towards buying a private prison and then bribing the cops, the D.A., and the judge to get him sentenced there.
Hell, for a mentally unwell black man they'll do it for free.
Horrible site, I know, but...

Or is that different because they're publicly traded companies?
Wait, so if Kanye gets convinced of a crime, T-swift could buy the private prison where he's serving his sentence and then effectively own Kanye? Is a billion dollars enough to buy a prison? They can't be that expensive, right?
At least theoretically.
IDK about you, but I can picture Kanye playing that from time to time and low key kicking ass far more than I can picture her doing it.
That is not slavery, convict leasing was (worse) slavery.
