In this podcast episode, I'm diving deep into the truth about Neo Slavery and how the purposeful censorship of history allows systemic oppression to repeat itself. I'll be exploring how the 13th Amendment, while abolishing slavery "except as punishment for a crime," laid the foundation for the mass incarceration crisis we see today. The lack of education around Neo Slavery has allowed modern systems of control to thrive, especially within the prison industrial complex.

I'm breaking down how slavery never truly ended in America but transformed into a system that profits from Black bodies through forced prison labor, disenfranchisement, and economic exploitation. The failure to teach the full history of slavery in America leaves generations vulnerable to repeating patterns of racial injustice, economic oppression, and systemic racism.

We'll explore how prison labor, disproportionately targeting Black and Brown communities, mirrors the same exploitation seen during chattel slavery. From the convict leasing system after the Civil War to modern for-profit prisons, the parallels are undeniable. This episode unpacks how structural racism was baked into the legal system and how policies like the Black Codes and Jim Crow laws ensured that Black people remained oppressed even after formal emancipation.

Key points I'll cover:

The historical roots of Neo Slavery in the U.S.
How the 13th Amendment loophole perpetuates modern-day slavery
The connection between mass incarceration and economic exploitation
How for-profit prisons and prison labor benefit corporations
The lack of education about these truths in schools

This conversation matters because erasing history keeps people blind to ongoing oppression. When we don't learn about Neo Slavery, we risk ignoring the structural injustices still impacting Black communities today. It's essential to confront these uncomfortable truths, demand better education, and advocate for justice system reform.

Join me as I break down how the purposeful censorship of history continues to shape modern racial inequality and how understanding the full scope of slavery's legacy can empower us to dismantle oppressive systems.

Bloodstained Podcast| Episode 7| "Black People Should Not Be Capitalists"

Link to my socials: https://linktr.ee/madiswan09

In this episode of Bloodstained, I dive into the complex and often uncomfortable truth about the deep ties between slavery and the economy of the Western world. As I unravel the intricate connections, I explore how the institution of slavery shaped capitalism and fueled economic growth in the United States and beyond. From the exploitation of enslaved labor on plantations to the global trade networks it created, slavery wasn’t just a moral failure—it was a fundamental driver of wealth accumulation that continues to shape our modern economic systems.

I discuss how industries like cotton, sugar, and tobacco became the backbone of Western economies, generating immense wealth for European powers and American elites, all at the expense of millions of enslaved Africans. But the story doesn't stop at plantations. This episode examines the role of banks, insurance companies, and investors who profited from slavery, illustrating how the institution was embedded in the very fabric of Western financial systems.

How did slavery fuel the Industrial Revolution? What role did colonial powers play in creating global markets rooted in exploitation? And how do the economic consequences of slavery still linger today in the form of systemic inequality, generational wealth gaps, and racial disparities? I tackle these pressing questions, weaving historical facts with modern implications.

By connecting the past to the present, I hope this episode provides a deeper understanding of how the economy of the Western world is stained by the blood and suffering of enslaved people. Join me as I uncover the truths often buried in history and reflect on what we can learn from this painful yet crucial chapter.

If you’ve ever wondered about the real cost of Western wealth, this episode is for you. Listen, share, and join the conversation as we continue to peel back the layers of history to confront its truths.

"On this week's episode of the Redacted History Podcast, we are discussing the history of the colonization of Africa, mainly the Congo. We set the stage for how we got to the present day genocide in the Congo. And it all starts with Belgium, Berlin, King Leopold II, and the Berlin Conference of 1884. That leads us to the 20th century where the scramble for African resources intensifies leading to a genocide in present day Democratic Republic of Congo. A genocide that is still happening today."

Love you all and miss you all be back soon!
