103. "Stick to your guns. Is it a metaphor or are you..." In response to In response to 100 Tue Jul-14-15 07:24 AM by Buddy_Gilapagos
maintaining "that the plantations of old that you describe, have merely been transformed to create the "reality" you know"?
Seems like you are backtracking when you make that statement and then say you weren't being literal but speaking metaphorically.
At any rate you are comparing modern living to slavery and that's disrespectful to the memories of those who were slaves. Like I said before, you are contributing to the same misconception that the author of this vox piece on slavery says racist people do all the time, think slavery and living in poverty are comprable.
Also, want to know what the 21 century analog of 18 centuey slavery is? 21st century slavery. There are millions of people in slavery in 2015 and I am not talking about people in shitty jobs in the US.
