There are still black slaves working in the Amazon distribution center.

White slaves too. Amazon is an equal-opportunity slaver.

Shitty, exploitative labor practices are *far* different than chattel slavery.

You mean folks with limited options in life are different from people who are kidnapped and shipped off to a new land to be bought, sold, and worked like animals? Oh wow! That's brilliant! Thank you, thank you!

The thing to consider is whether you would exist at all without familial
migration. If slavery, at some point, means that you exist, wouldn´t that
be a good thing for you?
Somewhere, in every ancestral tree, there´s a slave or fifty.

Someone once said about slavery:

"If it wasn't for slavery, you'd be sitting in front of a hut made of
cow shit, starving to death."

Is that an acceptable point of view?

Gosh Bruce, according to Google you're the only who ever said "sitting in
front of a hut made of cow shit". Don't try to sluff your racist invictive
onto someone else.


> Is that an acceptable point of view.

Which? Deliberate race-baiting or indiscriminate trolling?

For an utter simpleton like yourself, of course it is.

Don't you have some tasty farm animals to sodomize today?

That's just an easy rationalization to swallow because it wasn't you and your family that were slaves. My guess is that if I didn't exist, I wouldn't care about not existing.

Do you feel responsible for what the Japanese did during WW2? Are you
going to pay me?

Thank you for specifying "chattel slavery". Most people don't know there
are other kinds.

Except, grasshopper, that even the primarily black "slaves" at the Bessemer, Alabama Amazon distribution center recently voted *against* joining a union - and by a large margin:


https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/09/t...ats-union.html

April 9, 2021

"Amazon workers at a giant warehouse in Alabama voted decisively against forming a union on Friday, squashing the most significant organizing drive in the internet giants history and dealing a crushing blow to labor and Democrats when conditions appeared ripe for them to make advances...

Workers cast 1,798 votes against a union, giving Amazon enough to emphatically defeat the effort. Ballots in favor of a union trailed at 738, fewer than 30 percent of the votes tallied, according to federal officials...

The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union had organized around critical themes of supporting Black essential workers in the pandemic. The union estimated that 85 percent of the workers at the Bessemer warehouse were Black...

William and Lavonette Stokes, who started work at the Bessemer warehouse in July, said the union had failed to convince them how it could improve their working conditions. Amazon already provides good benefits, relatively high pay that starts at $15 an hour and opportunities to advance, said the couple, who have five children...

€œAmazon is the only job I know where they pay your health insurance from Day 1,€� Ms. Stokes, 52, said. She added that she had been turned off by how organizers tried to cast the union drive as an extension of the Black Lives Matter movement because most of the workers are Black.

€œThis was not an African-American issue, said Ms. Stokes, who is Black. €œI feel you can work there comfortably without being harassed.€�

In a news conference organized by Amazon on Friday, Mr. Stokes and other workers said they had concerns that they wanted the company to address, like better training and anti-bias coaching for managers.

€œWe just feel like we can do it without the union,€� he said.. €œWhy pay the union to do what we can do ourselves?€�
