Who said it was "proof", Slavery exists today I don't need to prove that because it does.

Granted it is not the legal kind where men, women, and children are bought and sold legally but it is slavery none the less.

My point of course is simple, there has never been a system of slavery where the slaves willingly sell themselves into slavery, ergo any government with at it's root cause for existence the institution of slavery is inherently evil.

And before you attempt to prove that the United States was some how equal to the confederacy in that regard, may I point out that the solo clause in the constitution covering "slavery" does not use the words slave, slavery, or Negro.

Just like the bozo that 'knows' that 9/11 was a Bush conspiracy; he doesn't need to prove it, he knows it!

If you were alive in, let's say, 1855, even you may have had a different opinion. What do you think? You gonna give me a moment of honestly here or are you just gonna be content in your self righteous hindsight.

Typical yankee.

Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter accusations.
