Black lives are STILL cheap. Just look at the unarmed black kids getting shot up by police, or thrown into prison for decades over BS charges, in order for private prisons to abuse them as slaves again.

Hard to believe this even happened in the country that is the "home of the free and land of the brave." We will never forget.
