You read my mind, bigtime.
Down through the annals of human history there's been plenty of slavery to go around for everybody, no matter the ethnic background. It's tiresome that there's a select group of some characters constantly marching around as if they're the only ones ever to experience slavery.
Let me guess: they're gonna pay for it by MORE taxes on tobacco, and a new tax on underwear (the logic being that "slaves" worked on tobacco and cotton farms?).
