1.95 million slaves in the “America’s” ?????

So they are trying so desperately to get the United States as “US slavery to blame for all that BLM rants about” ...

If even 2 million are in “the America’s” then ALL are in Mexico, Caribbean and Central America, and Equatorial south America.

Are they trying to assume some number of “sex slaves” and Muslim slaves in Europe, and then merging “Europe” and “Central Asia” together to pull up the “guilty western nations” in their propaganda?

Many of those modern slaves have to mail substantial amounts of cash to the IRS by the 15th of April every year. Some have to do that four times per year.

More fake news from the Compost?

[BurrOh]

Thank you for the information.

It boggles the mind.

[PGR88]

So by all means, lets make sure we bring more of this culture into the USA.

Depends on how you define slaves. Much of the left thinks millions of slaves still live in the US and are forced to vote D to survive.

And even that survival is a bare minimum to keep them alive for the next election. No effort to help them get out of their miserable life (i.e. education). And their masters want plenty of illegal workers with an even worse life keeping them from getting out of their situation by working. And while the masters don’t beat them directly, they help them beat and kill each other (i.e. Chicago) by restricting the ability of police, courts and prisons to remove the enforcers from their neighborhoods.

I’d say it’s nothing like US blacks in the early 1800’s, or the slaves today in this article. But I’ll agree with the left that a large part of the US is being kept in poverty and used/abused by their masters in order for Ds to win elections. It’s as close as the Ds can come to slavery given today’s laws.

No complaints from democrats about current slavery conditions in the world.

[bar sin·is·ter]

They voted democrat.

9.2 million slaves in Africa.

I demand that the “Rev.” Al Sharpton take a break from decrying slavery in the U.S. 150 years ago and start paying reparations himself for the enslavement of blacks by his distant black cousins in Africa in the here and now.

[I want the USA back]

Yes, and Whitey gets all the blame. They’re tearing down statues of Columbus, when they should be ripping down the flags of the countries that hold slaves.

[KingofZion]

Don’t forget the slaves in NORK slave labor camps. Hopefully they will be freed soon when rocket man gets lit up.

They can try all they want, but you can’t spin this to include Western, majority white, Christian states. We are the only ones to end slavery, yet we are the ones who get blamed for it. No guilt here. None.

[BitWielder1]

Arab States 1%? Article slanted much?
They obviously don't count the millions of slaves in the US who are paid to not work.

[abb]

There are LOTS of slaves in the United States. It’s called something else though - income taxes.

[Defiant]

In addition to saying where they are, the article should disclose who it is that is owning them.

I read an interesting historical essay several months ago.

The author claimed that 75% of the world’s population lived under some form of slavery, serfdom, or contractual bondage in 1787, the year the USA Constitution was ratified.

It seems like a valid claim.

At least 80% of Russians were serfs. The American south was 50-50 slave and free. Latin America and the Caribbean were majority slave. Africa and the Middle East were at least 50-50 slave.

And when you consider that most “free” women of that era had no choice but to remain married to a cruel or abusive husband, 75% of the world living in “slavery” sounds like a pretty solid estimate.

I’ve understood for some time that about half of those working on Thai fishing trawlers are slaves.... gives one pause for thought when eating seafood.

[klgator]

I know where a lot of them are in the Americas.

“87% of black voters identify with the Democratic Party or lean Democratic”
