Why does anyone care about slavery in America 153 years ago?

How is it possible for people to lament so much about our slave history, when day after day they gleefully buy products basically made by slaves?
Today's slaves are not forced into labor, they are not bought and sold like 150 years ago.... but make no mistake about it - they exist everywhere. And you are wearing the results of their labor right now.
Did you know most slave owners in America paid their slaves? In many counties they were required by law to do so.
Is it not disingenuous to cry about slavery that existed 150+ years ago....and then consistently choose products made using slave wages?

A really, really, really shitty analogy.

There is a YUGE difference between chattel slavery and economic servitude.

Learn it. Meanwhile, this thread's premise is a pile of shit.

Liberal media (PBS especially) relentlessly show stuff about slavery, and old black & white footage from Jim Crow days, to keep blacks angry, when all the while, they're getting Affirmative Action favoritism. Keeps the AA covered up, and deflected from.

Guilty conscience eh?
Obviously today's slaves are not like slaves throughout the world in every nations past.
But that doesn't mean they don't still exist. They exist everywhere.
Working 16 hour days, many 6 days a week, some 7... no benefits of any kind... living in 300-400 sq ft concrete bunkers (and they are the lucky ones) making wages that barely-barely covers just the amount needed to buy meager groceries.... IS slave labor.

This map shows where the world’s 30 million slaves live. There are 60,000 in the U.S.

I won't soil my eyes with the WaPo.

Try another source. My statement stands.

The premise of this thread is a pile of shit. About the only place that chattel slavery still exists is in goatfucker-land.

It is simply easy. It is easy for about half of Americans and the rest of the world to pretend that America invented slavery and colonization and blame America for all those ills.

Look up "Tall Poppy Syndrome" if you're not already aware. It's especially easy for Europeans to do this when most of their nations are crumbling under their feet.

 

[Edgetho]

In those places where the DISGUSTING FILTH says there's slavery, do they hold slave auctions?

Do they parade the women across a platform nude?

Do they lead the men out in chains?

Are they bought and sold BY INDIVIDUALS??

Only in goatfucker-ville, maybe. On a tiny scale.

What you idiots are doing is conflating communism with slavery. It is not. Technically.

While communism is the imprisonment of the entire population of whole Countries, it is NOT slavery where people are bought and sold. Venezuelans are not slaves, they're just unbelievably stupid human beings that bought into the myth of socialism. And communism is a short walk across the street.

To compare that to actual slavery is to diminish the suffering that actual, real slaves went through.

You should be ashamed of yourselves but I suspect you're both dims. And dims have no shame because they have no conscience.

idiots

It's easy to be a dimocrap. Super easy.

It requires no brains, no thought, no responsibility to others, no independent thinking, no work, no research.... Nothing.

Notice where ALL dimocrap thought on this board originates. ALL of it.

It all comes from the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM. Even this thread.

So rather than come up with original thoughts, dimocraps just parrot what the LSM tells them to parrot and they march merrily, hand-in-hand into the abyss.

Unfortunately, they want to take the rest of the Country with them.

I have no problem with them killing themselves, just leave the rest of us out of it.

Not knowing the difference between chattel slavery and communism or economic servitude is a prime example of the stupidity of dimocraps

Definitely this much is true: you can slap a label on something and Leftists will believe it. Whatever label, whatever little motto, they will parrot it. So you are right: working in a poor nation with a horribly corrupt government for low wages is just like slavery (it's not). And killing your child in the womb is actually "reproductive freedom" (it's not). And Leftists swallow these soundbites whole, often without even a second thought.

And their Overlords know it. Boy, do they.

THERE is your hypocrisy. How many leftists do you suppose buy Apple's products which have been documented to be made via child and female slave labor?

Because the Democrat party hates America today. It's not about 153 years ago, it's about today

Wow, you must hate the Democrats then for helping sex slave trafficers keep the children they acquired as they cross the border

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

The lengths some folks try to go thru to erase if not flat out try to excuse the history of slavery in this country is astonishing.

but but but they got slavery in China....but but but, they have slavery "insert 3rd world country here" --- we all know a solution won't be for the government to penalize corporations who uses slave labor right? because free markets and stuff

So what is the solution for forcing these other countries to stop allowing slave labor in their country if you don't want government to intervene
