Bro he literally freed the slaves.

Instead of actually working towards something better, let's just spend our time arguing over things we can't change. /S

They still have slaves. They are just in prison. That's my point.

the constitution even condones it. Fucked. Prisoners get paid like 70c an hour or some shit.

That's still far from as bad.

Oh okay. I didn't realize "a little" slavery is okay. As a treat if your white I guess.

What. Are you genuinely fucking with me or do you think enslaving a third of the population is the same level of bad as prison labor.

Do you straight up think there's no difference between before and after the civil war.

No, I don't think any slavery is okay at all. Do you?

No. But I don't think theft and murder are ok, but I don't think they're the same level of bad.
