Ava DuVernay was the one who actually wrote the documentary “13th Documentary”. This documentary, which was described as “13th Documentary”, was truly amazing. It went in depth about the current American prison system. A 13th documentary appears also to demonstrate the extent of racial inequality that exists among Americans of different races. It’s clear from the beginning that America’s black population was being treated poorly all their lives. After the 13th amendment bill passed, civil war had ended. The 13th Amendment bill attempted to abolish slavery, in particular to blacks who were most directly affected by the slave trade. The 13th amended also allowed all Africans who were previously enslaved to be freed and returned home to their country or obtained American citizenship.

The 13th amendment appeared to be a release for slaves. However, the amendment bill was void because it allowed “Neither slavery nor involuntary service except as a punishment of crime.” This allowed the whites an ideal opportunity to “legally enslave” African Americans and rebuild southern economic activity that was in disarray after the Civil War. The truth is that 13th amendment didn’t stop black people being enslaved, but it only allowed for an excuse (however insignificant) for them to be mistreated and enslaved. All of us expect that the police and other authorities will be able to enforce the bill or provide an example. Contrary to what we expect, the 13th amended loophole was largely exploited by police departments. Any person of any race, including black Americans, could be charged with the most serious offenses. Black people could be charged with walking, intending to cause damage or loitering among other offenses. Blacks were arrested by police for minor offenses like loitering. This loophole is where the first American prison boom was achieved. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan declared that drugs were killing America’s economy and that blacks were to blame. It is clear that black Americans have a strong relationship with marijuana. It is evident that the war against drugs has only gotten more dangerous and lethal. Nixon used to call the black community a threat to his community. He hated black people and created a system that only targeted them without the motivation or inspiration of a criminal system. One possibility is that war against drugs was simply another way of referring to war against black people.

Let’s conclude by saying that America’s drug trade is mostly for the richest. Because of the poverty and structural inequalities in black communities living in urban areas, there is a good chance that they will not be the beneficiaries of this drug trafficking business. But the well-known and respected members of society will continue to reap the benefits. Given all of this, it is possible that the federal authorities are targeting the black population through the ‘war against drugs’.
