Economics (ID)

Every senior class takes economics with Ms.Horne . In Economic class we learned about Convict Leason. I learned about the different ways they try to bring slavery but with a different version and way. They created jails and all the prisoners were all black while the people they owe were their security and officers , who told them what to do and used many words that were very offensive . They created prisons and put prisoners in their so they can pay up the debt . They were being treated slaves that get only a little bit of pay each day so they can stay longer to do labor . These men were really treated poorly and was not able to speak for themselves because it was like they were being enslaved all over again. Rascism is still being practiced today in society , the most racist organization Ku Klux Klan are still the in the majority the reason why many African Americans were scared to even sleep at night time. What creates this story even more scarier because many professionals are apart of this organization like doctors , police officers , and many other people who are rich and famous are involved of being in the actor racism.

  1. This definitely needs to be broken up into at least two paragraphs. You started a blog about convict leasing and ended one about the KKK. There is a link there, but your post doesn't make the link clear.
