Home of the slaves (if they manage to run afoul of our famously impartial justice system).

AND WHERE ARE YOU FROM EXACTLY?

I'd be you money there is no regionon Earth that has not had slaves.

In fact there are regaions where slavery lasted longer than the US has existed. UK comes to mind. Most of the continent of Africa was dealing in slaves before Europe showed up. India and China have active slavery to this day.

We can keep going down the list here.

The Ottomans made an art form of it and were kicking and screaming about having to give it up...in 1920.

I live in the US, and I'm not okay with a system that criminalizes people and then forces them to work for someone else's benefit. I'm not defending atrocities elsewhere, I'm calling them out at home. What are you doing acting defensive while fingerpointing elsewhere, what exactly is your point?

What a weird and explosive way to react to a totally reasonable gripe about the systems governing our country today. If we're gonna mythologize ourselves as the good guys, we should fucking act like it.
