You are the only one to use the word "slavery" so far! Also posted article does not mention of slavery at all!! Looks like you are blaming everybody but you are the only one who has some hidden agenda here
It says enslavement and the NAACP is looking into it.
I think it is slavery. Forcing someone to work that many hours and not being paid. It is worse than slavery. This man who did this to another human being is evil , pure evil and did it for 10 years. He knew what he was doing and he got away with it for much too long.
I wished the guy had come forward in the beginning but so many people have no support or are so afraid to do anything that they stay where they are and take much abuse.
They should have a hot line and it be well known for support to people. So many fall through the cracks and see no way out. It is a travesty what goes on and the evil that is done to others.

Well then what would you call it? The guy was kept from his family, physically and mentally abused and forced to work long hours without pay. That sounds like slavery to me. Prisoners have more Rights than that guy had.
Are you nervous that I called it slavery and the guy happens to be black?

I'm only calling it what it was.
That is what I question.
I can understand the guy was mentally challenged, threatened, scared, probably brainwashed, etc. We have seen this in cases of kidnaping where the victim stays with their assailant. But this guy had family, he interacted with the public. Why was his family not concerned about his whereabouts, especially being mentally challenged.
What would you do, if you went into a diner and saw a guy who seemed not that bright bussing tables? And he was there every time you went to that diner? Would it occur to you he was working 100 hours a week and not getting paid?
I would find it very odd, if I went in for breakfast one day, and maybe a late dinner a few nights later and the same dude was always there, and then it kept happening.
But I’m mainly talking about other employees, and people who were close to the situation, neighbors, whatever. 100 hours a week is 16 hours a day, everyday.
This is the exact type of story that is put out by our so called “media organizations” to elicit an anger response. In many cases, major details are either not known, or were deliberately excluded.
I suspect there is much more to this story that isn’t being reported. The details will all come out eventually, but nobody will care, because we will all be onto the next outrageous falsely put together story.
Well that is terrible but this guy was "freed" in 2014, why is it suddenly a case of "slavery" now? Oh yeah everything is racist with its roots in slavery these days. Still how terrible to take advantage of a guy like that. You could understand how he might not have been paid as much since he was given a place to live in a nearby apartment but come on man this abuse and both involved should get what is coming to them.
Where was the black guys family all that time?

Looks like you need to be reminded of what you said.

I still do not understand your point? Are you agreeing with me or accusing me of something?
The man, that happens to be black was treated like a slave. The fact that everything seems to be driven by race and racist talking points these days makes this case a prime example for the Left to tout.
This incident came to an end in 2014 according to the article yet it has been given new life by someone and was picked up by the OP to talk about here.
Regardless of the vicitm being black it is a case of modern day slavery and it is good that the man is being compensated for his torture.

" and the NAACP is looking into it."
Yep, the NAACP has to look into things that happen to COLORED people.

I just hope Lebron James doesn't hear about this. A "What? Now they keeping us as slaves?" comment by him could end with a burned down city or two.
