[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It always amazes me that people who purport to be against slavery are doing nothing about it.  Today, on this very planet, there are an estimated 30 million people held in slavery.  And you worry about a "plantation".

You go girl.

That’s because if it’s not happening in America, it doesn’t seem to matter.

I bet they’ll go travel to those slave-owned countries and not click an inch but then cry if they see Jefferson Davis Highway on Rt 1.  :roll: [/quote]

Slavery in other countries didn’t lead to the current racial inequities that exist here. Fix the racial inequities and people will shut up. [/quote]

Actually, they led [u]directly[/u] to the racial inequities that exist here.  Where did you learn history?  [/quote]

Modern slavery. Existing in other countries, has nothing to do with racial inequities in this country. Modern slavery elsewhere didn’t pass our laws, zone our communities, privatize beaches, or segregate our schools. We did that ourselves. You can run from it as much as you want. It doesn’t change facts. Ask yourself why you try so hard to avoid our racial inequity problems today. Because that’s exactly what most people here are wondering about you.[/quote]

Which racial inequities?

Asians are leaving caucasians behind in the dust.

Latinos aren’t suffering long term poverty. They arrive, acclimate, and work. After a generation, they are fully bilingual.

Those who lag behind are Americans: black, white and Latino. Not the immigrants; rather, those who were born and raised here. But why?

If you have the opportunity to have a real conversation with black Africans who have successfully immigrated to the US, ask them their opinion of black Americans and racism. It’s rather shocking. [/quote]
