Description

Does Section 13 number 1 of the US Constitution, the Amendment that abolishes slavery, provide a loophole for slavery to continue today? This is Part B of Caribbean Thought Lecture 7: American Politics, with a special presentation by John Anthony Castro, US 2024 Presidential Candidate, Attorney, Legal Scholar, President of AI Tax and Castro and Company, a First Generation American who has worked hard from nothing to now a multi-millionaire, and challenging Trump a former US President. Mr. Castro engaged the students on a range of topics regarding American Politics and policy, the Constitution, Globalization, American Penetration, Strategy, and his candidacy and position on life and society. The students were fully engaged with Mr. Castro, who spent almost 2 hours wrapping with the students and answering their questions. There was one striking moment from the Lecture worth mentioning here: A student, Abdul, asked Mr. Castro, why is slavery still legal in America, citing the US Constitution Section 13 number 1 that says... Slavery is illegal in America, except for convicted Americans. Mr. Castro agreed that that is something he may have to revisit and that that may need to be adjusted to remove any loopholes stemming from that. The Professor, Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, pointed out that Slavery is illegal in the US, but that forced labor without pay is the punishment for certain crimes in the US which is slavery. However, while slavery is legal in those cases, more black and brown peoples who were once enslaved are disproportionately incarcerated and their poor realities and economic activities are criminalized which allows for their re-enslavement permitted by this said constitutional law abolishing slavery.  The Class ended with prayers lead by Hanif and Vote of Thanks led by Adul.  The class had over 25 participants and included two members of the faculty, The Head of Department Ms. Erica Campbell.  The episode includes Part A, which is replayed after Part B and then a Bonus music in audio by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie with Prayer. You will find this episode of The Neoliberal Round quite insightful and inspiring. It will be provocative and critical but also explore solutions - strategy.
