Horrible branding/marketing.
Freeing slaves should be a sweet holiday but the name is a turn off. |

The 13th amendment was written so that America could continue to run slavery in this country literally behind closed doors. Our current president is the one who wrote the Crime Bill that started the mass incarceration of these for-profit prisons so we’re not as disassociated with that ugly part of our past as you may wish we were. |

No day off but it’s a bullshit excuse for banks to close and delay a lot of people’s direct deposit (including mine).

You seem to be unaware that the North also kept slaves and also treated black people like shit. Shit... it wasn't abolished in CT. until 1848. Chances are astronomical that your ancestors treated black people like shit. On the off chance that they were angelic and saintly... the post you replied to stated "the average white person whose family has been in the US for a while". So if they were as highly evolved and enlightened as you are (LMFAO) then they weren't "the average..." and it didn't apply to them. Last edited by Mephistopheles Janx; 06-20-2024 at 01:33 PM.. |

Evidence? More people immigrate here than to any other country in the world every single year. |

Thank you. I assume you’re referring to the border SNAFU you mentioned earlier. In either case I am cool with leaving the convo here. I would agree that world governments are most likely complicit. Lots of money changing hands in government agencies, too much for me to assume the best from the ones getting their palms greased. |

No, actually it doesn't answer my question. I asked you a simple question, do you think right now that systematic oppression of black people exist in the US?

Of course I do. The prisons are filled with non violent drug offenders still to this day because of that crime bill that Biden introduced to this country in 94. Those prisoners have children living back in the ghettos (places that were built by the redlining system put in place by our real estate markets) with a lack of funding to their schooling systems that have become part of the school to prison pipeline. Many more systems in place if you wanted to do some of your own research as well.
