Whenever a Democrat says that some part of the economy depends on illegal immigrants, they are usually compared to slaveowners who insisted that the economy relied on slavery. This talking point rarely makes sense in the context of the broader immigration debate.

Democrats are also accused (not without basis) of wanting to give free healthcare to illegal immigrants, wanting illegal immigrants to vote, caring more about illegal immigrants than native-born citizens, and wanting to offer full citizenship to illegal immigrants. So if the Democrats think that illegal immigrants should be treated like slaves, they're doing a bad job of it beyond the vaguely similar talking point of the economy depending on a particular group of people. How is the side that wants more rights for illegal immigrants across the board the side that wants to enslave them?

There was also a time when people wanted to ban Chinese laborers from the workforce or even black workers from machine work, so if the whole debate is about who can be compared to racists in the past, there's plenty of ammunition for Democrats to use.

And besides, is bringing up the economic impacts of immigration not warranted if Republicans bring it up too? If a Republican says "illegal immigrants will take our jobs and destroy the economy," that seems like it's inviting someone else to bring up positive economic impacts of illegal immigration, whatever those may be. If a Republican says "we don't owe these illegals anything," then shouldn't they want the illegal immigrants to be a servant class? It seems like Republicans solely care about the effect of immigration on natives until Democrats start talking about the effect of immigration on natives, then Democrats are suddenly racists who don't care enough about illegal immigrants (despite wanting illegal immigrants to have more rights).

Is it? I've already seen this statement before and honestly I'm getting more convinced about it.

I'm not intending to promote socialism or comunism which is even worse but the current game we are playing in has a lot of flaws. We need a change but nothing seems to come up.

What is the problem? The central banks? The curency system? The private banks? The rich? The poor?

Thank you. Thank you readers.

Slavery as I mentioned in another topic, the 9-5 is modern day slavery, is basically obligation which has an affect over your freedom.

Freedom is not good in nature. It is neutral just as slavery. 

Now obligation which has an affect on your freedom you can say is dominating you.

Those are the two awesome components or traits of slavery. 

Domination and obligation. Obligating and dominating.

Straightforward enough right.

Now there are circumstances where dominating and obligating something or someone proves to be necessary in order to have a constructive conclusion.

The same is true for the opposite.

One straightforward example is the penal prison system.

It is moral and humane for society to obligate individuals that would otherwise do society wrong if not obligated or forced to be imprisoned dominating their freedom.

The same is true for the opposite.

I know slavery gets a negative connotation so it is outright considered wrong in and of itself. 

Slavery is actually neutral but based on how you use the term, a person can see what I mean .

But the average person most likely would not use the term the way it has been in this topic.

So semantics, yes but nevertheless according to what I've said by those terms, they're either consistent or not.

They indeed are as represented here.

Is abortion just as horrible or worse than slavery?

We're talking about ownership. There are some parallels but slaves have to be alive at the end of the day.

No such slave as a dead one.

What agendas continue to dominate, discriminate, confuse and mistreat minorities?

Is the LGBT the prime agenda?

Controlling, brainwashing people sexually may be the most powerful way to do it.

I found interesting article that say all but one president descended from slave owners except Trump



Nobody can be blamed for sins of father, but it is odd that a place claiming to be a meritocracy all have leaders whose ancestors have several generations of being the top 1% wealth wise. 

Russia is more of a meritocracy prigozihn started out as running a hot dog stand and now he is next Russian president.

This recent interview on Dr Phil with a Civil Rights activist from the 60s went VIRAL!!! 

FACT: Less than 335k Africans were brought to North America during the Atlantic slave trade. The remaining that survived the journey across the Atlantic, some 10.7 million, were taken to South America and the Caribbean.

Why is it the world never hears of the trials and tribulations of those descendants of those 10.7 million BUT everyone hears about the decedents of the mere 335,000 of American blacks whining, bitching, and moaning about rights, money, reparations, racism, so on and so forth??????

What about those 3,700 FREE BLACKS (former slaves, mostly) who OWNED over 12,000 Africans as slaves?
What about the first LEGALLY RECOGNIZED slave owner being BLACK?

Then when you see bullshit movies like The Woman King that distorts the truth about blacks involvement in slavery in the continent of Africa, it only adds to the divisive racist rhetoric in this country. 

Blacks are the forebears of their own problems. Whites are not the cause of their problems.

As mentioned in the first linked viral video, blacks were far better off during the FIRST 100 years post-slavery. 
The very first female millionaire in North America was a black woman, Madame C.J. Walker. 
We have had Booker T Washington, Frederick Douglas, W.E.B. Du Bois, so on and so forth. All proffered during the first 100 years post-slavery. 
Homes in the early 1900s were over 89% nuclear with black households. 

Come civil rights, everything went downhill. Why?
Why?

Discuss!!

There isn’t a racial category of human beings on this planet that hasn’t been enslaved by another, or their own race. 

Africans started slavery long before Europeans came along, and they surely have continued the practice to present day. They even sold their own to the Atlantic Slave Trade. 

America owes no one an apology for slavery. No one. If they want it, they can get it from Africa.
