According to Malcolm X’s grandson El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz , slavery isn’t over in America, it’s just morphed from sharecropper slavery to institutional slavery. Shabazz says prisons in America are the new form of slavery because they disproportionately impact black and brown people.
“In these institutions people are forced to work for pennies on a dollar,” he said Monday in an interview with Press TV.
“There are hundreds of Black Americans who are being murdered in the United States every year with impunity. And police officers serve no time,” he said. “They always get off.”
Shabazz went on to say that African-Americans will continue to be disenfranchised until the system is changed.
