Oh no!! Maybe he should go back in time and prevent the developement of chatel slavery, if he's so worked up about the historical representation of slavery in-general.
That said, chatel slavery seems alive and well in the US Prison system. Maybe some of us really are too distracted by the history to bother fixing things in the present. Mr. Mangione allegedly might have something to say about it. Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention at that cookout, back on December 4th.
You think so, and you're right, but ask yourself why TACO want would want to reframe slavery as "not that bad."
Its because they're going to start renting out the detainees of the concentration camps for labor.
Considering the thirteenth amendment literally enshrined slavery into our Constitution... Yeah, it's alive and well.
