Slavery never left it just got rebranded.

The Thirteenth Amendment needs to be amended.

Per Wikipedia: The Thirteenth Amendment (Amendment XIII) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. The amendment was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, by the House of Representatives on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the required 27 of the then 36 states on December 6, 1865, and proclaimed on December 18, 1865. It was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted following the American Civil War.

    Even the punishment for possessing black people cocaine vs white people cocaine is ridiculous. The former used to be a mandatory 5 year sentence, the latter you could walk away with a probation. Fair sentencing act reduced the discrepancy a bit, but not completely IIRC.
