Are you really going to make the argument that forced labor with beating and torture as punishment for not working isn't slavery? Even the guy I responded to felt like they had to strawman chattel slavery in there.

And again you admit the system is racist. But the presence of white people means it can't be slavery somehow?

And because we made it legal it's not slavery somehow?

And we absolutely target the children of prisoners. Do you know what the police call it when a teenager hangs out with their ex felon dad? A gang association. Do you know what an employer calls surveillance and repeated searches? Unemployable.

There's a hundred little things like that, including the school to prison pipeline, the zip code lottery, over policing, and more.

Saying we don't target the exact same families for legal slavery requires ignoring the evidence of your eyes.
