Based Kanye Alert
WAPO wrote a sorta kinda unbiased article about Kanye and his wish to amend the 13th amendment.
Here's some excerpts.
So let us ask this possibly dicey question: What, exactly, was Kanye trying to say?
There is a fair chance he was referring to what’s called the 13th Amendment’s “exception clause,” as many speculated on Twitter. It’s the part of the amendment that literally allowed slavery and involuntary servitude to continue across the country, on plantations and within the barbed-wire fences of prisons. Scholars and prisoners’ advocates argue that its impact is still felt today through prison labor.
Here’s the full wording of the amendment:
“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction” (emphasis ours).
