Just because we abolished slavery doesn’t mean we’ve yet abolished racism. Just because we’ve given women rights doesn’t mean we’ve yet abolished misogeny. And just because we’re a democracy doesn’t mean we’ve given up the aristocratic prejudices designed to keep the masses down.

First problem is that we actually haven't abolished slavery - we've just transferred it to prisons. Which is one reason prisons are full of black and brown and poor people.

We didn't abolish slavery. We abolished chattel slavery. An important distinction in a country where forced unpaid labor still exists today.

Prisoners can still be forced into slavery as well

Calling AMERICA a "CHRISTIAN" Nation yet: - legally upholding the institution of Slavery - stealing this land & executing its first inhabitants - enacting Jim Crow laws & White Supremacy after the emancipation of African slaves - & holding kids in cages "MIRRORS HYPOCRISY!"

And unfortunately the one fighting to preserve and protect against the powers that be is being vilified. Consider the possibility that you are supporting the ones who are/will enslave the ones you are fighting for.

Abolishing racism, misogeny [sic], and prejudice would require a totalitarian level of social and/or gov’t surveillance. Thank you for making your agenda plain.
