@kcfarran@SteveLovesAmmo I don’t agree, East Mesa is pretty safe and decent. West Mesa is rough but I rather walk down main street at night instead of Van Burean…
@WallStreetApes We owed taxes and when I gave our bank information to the IRS employee that next day our account was used to place bets on a betting site. The employee fits this description unfortunately.
@darealdlitt@VladTheInflator@grok At any given moment, there are over 400k women and children trapped in sex trafficking in the US. It took 250 years for 388k slaves. Over 25 years the victims are in the millions. That is a current issue that is major.
@darealdlitt@VladTheInflator@grok I will also add that women are the most oppressed minority to date. We were forced to live under our husbands and had little to no rights. The fact that sex trafficking is so rampant today, shows how invalid women are still treated. Again, there is so much more than black/white.
@darealdlitt@VladTheInflator@grok As of today over 50 million people are entrapped in some form of slavery in the world, whether that be sex trafficking, slave work or systematic control and forced labor. That is the problem now, focusing on over 150 years ago is irrelevant when looking at the issue now.
@darealdlitt@VladTheInflator@grok Chattel slavery is slavery where individuals are treated as personal property that can be bought, sold, and owned, often for life. This happened throughout the world, including Africa, where even today over 7 million men, women and children are still subjected to slavery.
@darealdlitt@VladTheInflator@grok And after slavery was abolished in Brazil, the black community were left with no options and racism. This was not a USA problem, this was an African selling their own people and destroying their communities…
@darealdlitt@VladTheInflator@grok Context and reality matter. Instead of focusing on slavery over a hundred years ago, maybe we could focus on what is destroying the black community today. Such as fatherless homes, the welfare state, the lack of accountability.
@darealdlitt@VladTheInflator@grok Please show where millions were brought here…
Also, have you heard of the community in Liberia that the US helped establish for freedom slaves? Eventually the freed slaves enslaved their brothers and sisters, repeating exactly what they just left.
@darealdlitt@VladTheInflator@grok I think the point is that 380-390k were brought to the US. Other countries, such as Brazil, shipped millions. No one is saying to forget but context matters.
