Slavery By Another Name

[O Really]

Humans have never been very humane. There are still lots of people who would happily vote for the arrest and removal of people whose only crime is having no place to live.

Umm, SF's anti-homeless campaign comes to mind, and we both know that it's not the first Bay Area city to have one.

Awww. , Useless. So much for "Ignored". You fail again. Plus, Useless, you've been busted too many times for anyone to believe you're not reading my posts, anyhow. It's just your excuse for cowering. Awww.

Back to the topic, sometimes "another name" actually refers to something different. Though similar in some aspects, "indentured servitude" isn't slavery. Not all "sex trafficking" is slavery. And just because Hitler ate bratwurst doesn't mean everybody who eats bratwurst is a Hitler follower.

Actually wasn't Adolf a vegetarian?

Good point, some vegetarians are kind of Nazi.

Adolf Hitler Had An Excellent Diet

Imagine that!

Margot Woelk, 95, said that Hitler ate only the freshest fruit and vegetables during the two and a half years that she was forced to check his food for traces of poison.

...

She said: “Between 11 and 12 o’clock, we had to taste the food, and only after all of us had tried it was it driven to the headquarters by the SS.

“It was all vegetarian, the most delicious fresh things, from asparagus to peppers and peas, served with rice and salads. It was all arranged on one plate, just as it was served to him. There was no meat and I do not remember any fish.

...

In 1942, Hitler told Joseph Goebbels that he intended to convert Germany to vegetarianism when he won the war.

Just re-read the article quoted in the OP:

Using archival photographs and dramatic re-enactments, filmed on location in Alabama and Georgia, it tells the forgotten stories of both victims and perpetrators of neoslavery and includes interviews with their descendants living today.

Now, "neoslavery" is an interesting term...

[neoplacebo]

20 years to life is an interesting term.
So is neophyte.

There are neocons, and then there are neoconvicts.
Sometimes they're the same person.

What's your point, if any?

Whooosh.

Since you stupidly started this topic in order to claim provincial superiority for CA and later CT on racial issues:

New evidence suggests California's environmental policies preferentially protect whites

Opps. What was your point, if any?

"A 1940 deed for a development called High Ledge Homes in West Hartford, Conn., said, “No person of any race except the white race shall use or occupy any building on any lot.” The deed allowed one exception for people of a different race: the owner’s employees.

Similarly, Manchester-By-The-Sea in Massachusetts only allowed blacks and Jews to live within its borders if they were servants"

Humans have never been very humane. There are still lots of people who would happily vote for the arrest and removal of people whose only crime is having no place to live.

Example?

There have been numerous human behavioral studies in which one group of subjects is allowed to give another group of subjects electric shocks; the studies show that the group giving the shocks experience no guilt or regret or remorse, especially when the dominant group cannot see or hear the effects of their actions on the group being shocked. These studies also show that the longer this setup is allowed to exist, the easier it is for the dominant group to give the shocks. And this illustrates the assertion that "humans have never been very humane."

"For decades, Glendale was a hub for the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan. The KKK held rallies in Glendale even in the 1980s.

"We found instances of KKK rallies and gatherings happening in Glendale. We found information about local groups putting together efforts to have people sign petitions or promises that they will not sell to a person of color," said Shaffer.

The sundown town practices existed in Glendale until the 1990s, according to Peterson.

"We didn't have Jim Crow [laws] here in California, but we did have sundown town laws," said Peterson"

Those inhumane sound exactly like a certain pseudomod here.

California has long been the HQ for a variety of RW extremist political and religious groups, maybe even more than any other state.

Yep, California's 65 tops FL's 53, TX's 52 and NC's 28. SoCal has more, but note all of the hate groups in the Bay Area.

Turns out you may not need a Roku or even a DVD recorder to watch the documentary that is the same name as the title of this thread:

Since this topic was started with the chauvinist intent of showing how California is supposedly superior to other parts of the nation . . .

Best, worst cities for air quality: California ranks among worst, East Coast is cleaner

... Worst air in the United States

It isn't West Coast best coast when it comes to air.

California dominated the worst-air rankings, with three of the state's cities topping each of the categories for worst air. The Los Angeles-Long Beach area had the worst air by ozone, Bakersfield had the worst year-round particle pollution, and the Fresno-Madera-Hanford area had the worst air by short-term particle pollution.

The top 10 cities in each of the three categories were in Western states; the most eastern city was Houston. Here are the worst air cities:

Worst air by ozone:

6. San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, California

Worst year-round particle pollution:

4. San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, California

Short-term particle pollution:

4. San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, California

Best air in the United States

Best cities for short-term particle pollution

Knoxville-Morristown-Sevierville, Tennessee

Of course, we know from other reporting that this rotten air is concentrated in communities of color. Funny that, Filthy Racism By Another Name.
