Broken Dreams – Guest Workers Tricked Into Slavery

America, the land where dreams come true. People from all over the world dream of coming to this country, we are the land of the free and the home of the brave, and everyone in most inferior countries holds us on a pedestal. This country was built by immigrants and that still applies today. Immigrants do all of the jobs that need to be done, by they are so dirty, difficult and miniscule that most normal Americans wouldn’t feel comfortable doing them, and that is where immigrants come into play. As we saw today in Maid in America many women from other countries mainly, Latin, Eastern European and Asian are brought to America for various work, may it be cleaning, child care, or factory work. They don’t make a ton of money, but even they admit that as little as they make here, it is still a much larger amount then they would be making in their home countries. Unfortunately where there is a potential for large profits, and weak people in vulnerable and desperate positions, there will always be someone right there to take advantage of them, their trusting nature, and mainly their desperation.  The situation usually goes something like this; they take a woman from a small poor village and promise her some kind of lucrative factory or restaurant work in a more industrialized country. Once they bring her over they say she owes them thousands of dollars in fees and basically hold her in bondage until she pays. A lot of the time they will force the women into some form of either domestic or sexual slavery, working long hours in dangerous conditions for very little or absolutely no pay. The clip I am including is an example of one of these scenarios. Lies and Deceit!

“Maafa 21 The History of Eugenics In America Part 2 of 13”

Maafa 21 The History of Eugenics In America Part 2 of 13

This video is about Eugenics in America. After slavery was abolished the White race panicked and feared that the Black population would out number them. They decided to limit the black population by controlling how many children they could have, creating birth control and steralizing many of them.

The film is part 2 of 13 and it goes it depth on how the system worked. American Eugenicists tried their hardest to get rid of the Black population. This is a shameful part of American history, the land of the “free.”
