Slavery Didn’t End: It Just Learned How to Look Legal

They told us slavery was just chains and whips. That’s a lie.

In this episode of No! But Seriously… Let Me Explain…, we break down the part of American history they rushed past, watered down, or skipped entirely, the part where slavery wasn’t just labor, but ritualized humiliation, calculated breeding, legal child theft, and generational psychological warfare.

Prepare to delve into the grim realities of breeding farms, where human lives were commodified, and discover the shocking laws that allowed white families to claim Black children as property even after emancipation. We’ll also examine welfare policies that targeted Black families, systematically removing fathers from their homes and perpetuating cycles of trauma.

This episode aims to illuminate the darker corners of history, connecting the dots in a way that fosters understanding rather than mere discomfort. It’s not about re-traumatizing you; it’s about awakening awareness and encouraging critical thought.

With a blend of quirkiness, sarcasm, and rigorous research, we invite you to engage with these truths. If history has ever made you uneasy, that’s a sign you’re truly listening. Tune in for a provocative exploration that challenges the sanitized versions of our past.
