Oh, there are plenty of slaves out there working for paltry wages with no guarantees to reasonable health insurance for employers who could say at any time, "fuck it, I'm not paying you this month because my daughter's wedding cost me a small fortune."

There's no recourse for the employees of course because the employer pays you cash and never even asked you for a social security number so you don't even exist outside of their world.

Get your head out of your ass and look around big guy. It happens to white people too and they are the ones who vote for these clowns that allow it to be that way. Right to work means getting left behind.

Your libertarian, utopian dream where everyone can just do what ever the hell they want to including old wild west shoot 'em ups and laws don't matter is a joke. Go buy your own island somewhere and run things like you want to. Live your lord of the flies fantasy somewhere else.

So all of those Jim Crow laws that started after 1876 and persisted into the 1940s were just enjoyed by all of those generations of now freed slaves. Even World War II, you do remember that, when the segregation of troops was still the law of the land. How about those 1950s and 1960s when some negro leader by the name of Martin Luther King just tried walking across some bridge named after that Ku Klux Klan leader Edmund Pettus, you must of really enjoyed watching those people get beat.

You have to ask yourself, do you actually believe in the Constitution of the United States of America. That part that states all men are created equal. But please remember those founding fathers did leave out women. I know you just want to try and defend that part, my Aunt marched in New York City leading up to that historic vote in 1920. In America we fight for freedom, what we all wonder is why some conservatives always want to keep freedom from us.

"The Civil War ended more than 150 years ago, but the U.S. government is still paying a veteran's pension from that conflict. "One beneficiary from the Civil War [is] still alive and receiving benefits," Randy Noller of the Department of Veterans Affairs confirms.Aug 8, 2016"
