Slavery's last stronghold

It’s a long heart wrenching read but slavery is still alive and well in the North Africa Arab world.

Gee, just look at Americans. 50% of them don’t pay taxes while forcing other people to pay their living expenses, education, child rearing, healthcare, and sexual entertainment.

Slavery has always been alive and kicking.

Good point. If many add up their total tax burden today, I mean all the taxes we pay even the hidden ones, they often exceed 50% of your income. You have no choice in paying most of these taxes. NONE. That is a form of slavery. You are working to support Government and other people.

If you’re able please read the CNN story and see how silly your analogy is when compared to true slavery.

It is a perfect analogy. I guess you don't understand nuance and Incrementalism.

America does not need it. White Americans do not need blacks and that has been proven. Whites just want what everyone else has and continues making excuses for the biggest mistake this country has ever made.
