so it turns out Hillary Clinton literally used slaves but theres still losers on here who call her a #woke feminist or some shit

fucked up

Here’s a source

“
Clinton was, however, generous enough
to allow inmates from Arkansas prisons to work as unpaid servants in
the Governor’s Mansion. In It Takes a Village, Hillary Clinton writes
that the residence was staffed with “African-American men in their
thirties,” since “using prison labor at the governor’s mansion was a
longstanding tradition, which kept down costs.” It is unclear just how
longstanding the tradition of having chained black laborers brought to
work as maids and gardeners had been. But one has no doubt that as the
white residents of a mansion staffed with unpaid blacks, the Clintons
were continuing a certain historic Southern practice. (Hillary Clinton
did note, however, that she and Bill were sure not to show undue
lenience to the sla…servants, writing that “[w]e enforced rules strictly
and sent back to prison any inmate who broke a rule.” ”
