12 YEARS A SLAVE Press Conference

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

The awkward beginning of this interview is what happens when an an interviewer is uneducated about race, racism, and the history of oppression.

 

The interviewer begins nervously with a question from her own Euro-centric perspective. Because she seems to feel guilty and seems to want to hide the bad the Europeans have done – she seems to think others feel the same as her.

 

PS – around 17:00 you will here from the “Mexi-Kenyan” 😀

Book Review: Slavery By Another Name

“Many of the heirs of those who profited from neo-slavery are captains of industry today. Their fortunes remain intact. No one was ever held financially accountable.”

 

Community Village‘s insight:

Today’s prisons continue having people work in order to profit business owners.

 

The incarcerated are still disproportionately Black and Brown.

 

And field work, which makes agricultural companies richer, is still here, but has simply changed from Black to Brown.
