Politics have played a significant role when determining how White America views the black race as a whole. Over the years people have characterized and associated blacks as the criminals and predators of society. They relate blacks to drugs, violence, and crimes. As a result, they enslave and incarcerate blacks. They use their Machiavellian justice system and laws created by them to eliminate or impoverish the black race in the white society.

In order to force blacks into the hands of whites in need of cheap labor, they created the vagrancy law. The vagrancy law made it illegal for a person of color to be unemployed. If they were caught they could be thrown in prison and sentenced harsh time along with expensive fines. As an alternative option, instead of residing in prison white masters would offer to pay poor blacks fines and in return they would have to come work on their land to pay off their debt. Because a pay wage wasn 't established, they were often paid little to nothing. Therefore, blacks were enslaved by their debt to white masters for an extensive amount of time.

America portrays its-self as the land of the free but enslaves thousands of its own natural born citizens ever year. America says that slavery is immoral and dehumanize, but yet they promote it every way they can. In my opinion America is just a country built on
