Thanks guys

Interesting read

Isn't it called human trafficking now ?

The selling and abuducting is human trafficking but what they're still slaves aren't they?

I just think it's the same thing with the different name

They had a hearing on the senate floor a few days ago about this very topic. I believe it was the Senate Foreign Relations Committee? So, yes, it is very much still in existence. And in the US too, no less.

It stops black people constantly bitching about it

True.
Like get the fuck over it

When the argument is about who is more marginalized or who's had it worst in history, of course people are going to bring up their own points

Bevels the fact that black slavery in the US is much more relevant to our daily lives and the power structure that most of us live in.

How?

You forget that many people on this website are from other places besides the US correct ? There's 350 million people on a planet with more than 7 billion people. Even then, that's the assumption that there is a power structure that there's no evidence of

I mean it seems to be doing pretty well on here

You mean indentured servents. Slaves were never freed, hence the title "slave". Also where is your source the the first 'American' slave owner was black?

thank you for the correction. i was not sure how to word it. i have read it many times, and seen it in videos where it was stated several times. even some of my black co-workers have brought it up when we talk about racism and slavery. the funny thing is i talk about this stuff in the real world, not just online. that said all i would do would google it, link the first article i find and i can almost guarantee that it wont be a reputable site in the eyes of many people. so it isn't worth it to source it. as the story goes that we were by law not allowed to own slaves permanently. that people came here, worked for their freedom and let loose. many blacks owned slaves. one day a black man took it to court to be able to keep his servant, and was awarded the first ownership of another person. i heard it from many different sources, most of which were black. so i don't feel i have to question it. so take this as anecdotal.

look into savanna georgia. they had laws that a slave would be able to have time off to work in the town. and were able to make money to buy their own freedom. i visited and took a tour. it was really interesting to see a bit about the past and the places the slaved lived and such. one thing many never think about, slaves didn't work in the afternoon when the sun was the hottest. it would be dangerous and they could die. think about it this way. they were worker animals for people. they needed their slaves at top condition. you feed and water them, you keep them in top health. it is an investment and is essential to have you farm in top working order. in contrast to the standard of living today, the slaves of the past lived like the low income families live today. people look at their lives now and compare that to the world then. it is a stark contrast but even a person living at min wage live better than the rich of the past.

They were already capturing them and using them as slaves, they just had someone else pay for some they already had.

We? How fucking old are you?

Are you a dimmerdeath clone?
