His point about the Republicans "ending slavery," is inaccurate.
The 13th Amendment did NOT end slavery. It only ended private ownership of human beings. Slaves could still be owned by the government if people were found guilt of a crime. And gee whiz...we got all these new crimes that put people of color in prison.
Now, the "land of the free" has 25% of the world's prison/slaves.
Slavery didn't end...it became socialized. People are afraid of socialism...but slavery has been socialize since 1865 and that is working fine for people's 401Ks and crap.
America's racial caste system is simply showing up as mass incarceration these days...thanks to those Republicans he talked about.
I don't get why anyone would vote for a Democrat or Republican: and their wars, prisons, spying, welfare to Wall street and all their efforts to steal the wealth of #WeThePeople.
