There has always been slavery in this place:

The conquistadors enslaved the Native American Indians;

The there were indentured servants;

Then there were the Black African Slaves we all are thought about, but not well enough;

Then new forms of indentured servants, in the forms of new immigrants from Europe;

But even these aren't enough, for we let go of those enslaved very slowly; hence:

Jim Crow laws.

Most arrests being of Whites, but 90% of those in prison people who would have once had to put down "Black" as their race;

And many of the laws regarding those having once been in prison being resurrected, if they were ever put into the ground, from those regarding run away slaves, and freed slaves remaining in the South;

But not all these laws could be resurrected, because there is the 10% White prison population to consider, we wouldn't force those laws upon them, regardless of how mcuh we might not like those so imprisoned;

So we put the rest of the laws upon the decedents of the first people enslaved by Europeans in this land, to the revolving door of illegal immigration from Mexico;

See how much fruit would cost and you'll see what I mean, see that its already the highest markup in grocery stores, and you'll see more.
