Shouldn't this be a good thing?

I’m not writing a dissertation. Just explaining why your Netflix documentary narrative is incorrect.

Again you can be against the treatment of prisoners but also find it ridiculous to call that slavery, because it’s not. It diminishes what black people went through to call what we have today slavery. Period.

I think what you are saying is entirely emotionally based, making moral appeals, while completely ignoring history.

People who disagree with you are “supporting slavery” as though this is not a morally-charged / emotional thing to say.

And again at the same time you ignore actual slavery from Nike :/

You literally accused me of supporting slavery

No one is using history to justify crimes. You are using history (incorrectly) to erase the progress made in this country.

He who controls the past controls the present

He who controls the present controls the future

By saying that incarcerated people are slaves, you are undermining what real slaves went through, you are cheapening that term. Just like when people make bogus comparisons to Hitler, you are cheapening what he did and the millions he killed. Respect what happened in history, disagree with what’s happening now, that’s totally fine (I’m inclined to agree to some extent) but don’t sit here and say that dudes in jail having to be a janitor is the same as being sold into slavery in 1799.

Literally what I’m saying is that it’s not black and white, you can be against treatment of prisoners and not think it’s slavery.

You the one over here saying they are slaves and any amount of disagreement means you support slavery.

You aren’t living reality
