Modern Day Slavery

As a black person, one thing about slavery that has always bugged me is the fact that it was our own s0-called black brothers who sold us to the white man, into slavery.

Has anything changed really though?

Not in Jamaica apparently.

Take the case where the debts of struggling black people were sold to white Americans for 30 cents in the dollar and then the bill collectors were given authority to charge horrendous interest rates, compounded to boot, on the outstanding amount. This has resulted in debtors, although having paid several times what they initially owed, being required to work for the rest of their lives to keep paying these Americans because of the compounded interest rate. So was it surprising that the first white American debt collector was able to buy himself a huge yacht within the first six months of having bought himself local slaves who must work for th rest of their lives to pay him while never seeing their debt reduced?

This was done by the PNP government made up supposedly of black people.

Sold a second time by their own black brothers!
