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.

We haven’t even abolished slavery, just changed it’s infrastructure.

"we're a democracy" ? I think police state would be more accurate. Even Baby Doc had elections.

I was just saying this last night.

As a society, yes, we have abolished. There are no caveats. Sorry, @marwilliamson, this does not play when speaking to our formal culture. Some of us (most) obey our laws.

Let’s stop creating all these isms and breaking everything that’s hateful into different categories. It’s simple. Hate is hate. Period. End of story. Keep focusing on what is still wrong and you just get more of said thing.

Who said we abolished slavery, modern slavery of people working on low wages and poor working condition is still going on.
Replying to @marwilliamson
We've only to look at modern slavery, all over the world, to see our inhumanity to each other, individually and societal.
