    E21 But why are we all slaves on some level?

    On this two-year anniversary of George Floyd's death we go way back to the real roots of slavery and discuss what they have to do with the milling industry and trains, and why on some level we are all slaves to our government. This episode is incredibly triggering. We have no intentions of discounting the modern plight of black America, but rather aim to take a look at the way the system is broken and keeps not only black America - but low and middle-class America oppressed on some level. The history books would have you believe one thing - it's the victors who write them. Would it be an episode on the Civil War Era if we didn't mention Cooter Brown? We also dive into the topic of social justice and "being triggered."
