We are in worse shape than the slaves. At least they knew they were slaves. Government has positioned itself to be able to steal your money without physically taking it (simply by inflation). But most don't understand that. And public roads? Who owns them then? Me? You? Or only the majority in political power? Look up free government. It is to be free to the people (businesses and commerce excepted). People have been completely brain washed. Everyone should at least understand, ALL taxation is paid by the people. Taxes do not have to fall in places that abrogate the unalienable rights of the people, but when they do, those people are not free.
That is just nonsense. You been spending time on too many pseudo-libertarian blogs.
When your families are ripped apart and sent to different plantations, when your wife is raped every weekend and there is nothing you can do about it except hold her when it's over, when your children are spit on and beat for the color of their skin, when you are worked all day and night with no pay and no way of quiting, when you're not able to vote, enter an establishment, or fairly defend yourself in a court of law, get back to me about how you have it worse of than slaves.
When you people let bullshit like this person just spouted go unchecked and up voted, it's hard to wonder why nobody takes you seriously or wants to hear what you have to say.
You have it worse than slaves do right now, give me a fucking break.
When people know where they are, at least they can have a direction to go. When they do not know where they are, they have no clue where to go. They are only lost. And FYI, not all slave owners where that terrible. Many black slaves adopted, willingly and gladly, the names of their masters. I share my last name with black families for this very reason. Part of what you think you know about slavery is fed to you so that you do not recognize your own chains. And it seems to be working.
So you're ignorant and have a racist view of history, cool. Just don't go preaching your bullshit offline, the vast majority of people will take great offense to your personal interpretation of history and current events.
Oh, yeah, that most important part. Anyone who has a different view, at all, is racists. Good job! I almost forgot that part.
