Welcome to the wonderful, twisted, corrupt, deceiving, absurd, hypocritically mind numbing world of the modern day democrats.

President Trump: "there was violence on both sides"... gets CRUCIFIED BY THE PRESS FOR MENTIONING IT.

Fact, there "WAS" violence on both sides: you are NOT SUPPOSED TO POINT OUT LEFTIST VIOLENCE or you will be TARRED AND FEATHERED BY THE HYSTERICAL HYPOCRITICAL LEFTIST DEMOCRAT PROPAGANDA MACHINE.

Ain't that the truth. And even without race, it just sucks that people are SO focused on American History, and cannot let it go - but at the same time - other things HAVE to go. Odd how that works.

[revelarts]

hmm yes i guess that is one way to look at it, kind of odd.


I think we could get be bigger picture if we edited it a bit too though


—This is the World we live in today in America!
Some Black people of today, who were never slaves, are protesting SOME white people who were never Nazis or Confederate citizens but who are today white supremacist and “some good people” over Confederate Statues erected by Democrats, but now hotly defended by MANY Republicans/Conservatives for historical reasons, annnnd some on the right do think the SOUTH may need to rise again. While some Democrats can't stand their own History or even race anymore. And, as usual, Trump's is feeding into the drama, while Some on the left say it’s ALL Trumps fault, in the same way, that Some on the right said it was ALL Obama’s fault for “America’s racial tensions” and the death of any policeman in America.—

I think you're correct in the general sense, but certainly not those that are showing up in places like Charlottesville or Seattle this weekend. Those that make the noise, they are the same ones that are offended by everything. They are the ones who think violence is the correct response to offense.

Yes you're right, the FBook page should have started with
"This is the World of those that are showing up in places like Charlottesville Today..."
instead of
"This is the World we live in today in America!..."

It's hard to remember, I find myself sinking into depression reading the hate from both the right and the left. I want to shake these people, some of whom are friends for a long time, in real life. I've come close to crying in recent days, then I do remember.

Most people, regardless of race or economic shape, really want the best for everyone. Americans are really not only a generous people, but forgiving one.

I didn't ignore it.

Thank God and God Bless America that Slavery was Outlawed and is effectively gone, for the most part.

But I'd like to note that It's also true that NO ONE in the U.S has ever been a Citizen of the Confederacy.
we can't move forward if people want to keep living in the past right?


And Sadly as far as slavery is concerned It's not quite gone

.... inmates at Angola, once cleared by the prison doctor, can be forced to work under threat of punishment as severe as solitary confinement. Legally, this labor may be totally uncompensated; more typically inmates are paid meagerly—as little as two cents per hour—for their full-time work in the fields, manufacturing warehouses, or kitchens. How is this legal? Didn’t the Thirteenth Amendment abolish all forms of slavery and involuntary servitude in this country?<gpt-ad id="boxright1" targeting-pos="boxright1" lazy-load="2" data-object-pk="3" data-object-name="boxright" data-google-query-id="CLm2qZHv3NUCFcVYfgodyfoFdg">

<section id="article-section-3">Not quite. In the shining promise of freedom that was the Thirteenth Amendment, a sharp exception was carved out. Section 1 of the Amendment provides: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” Simply put: Incarcerated persons have no constitutional rights in this arena; they can be forced to work as punishment for their crimes...

Forced Labor
Forced labor, sometimes also referred to as labor trafficking, encompasses the range of activities—recruiting, harboring, transporting, providing, or obtaining—involved when a person uses force or physical threats, psychological coercion, abuse of the legal process, deception, or other coercive means to compel someone to work. Once a person’s labor is exploited by such means, the person’s prior consent to work for an employer is legally irrelevant: the employer is a trafficker and the employee a trafficking victim. Migrants are particularly vulnerable to this form of human trafficking, but individuals also may be forced into labor in their own countries. Female victims of forced or bonded labor, especially women and girls in domestic servitude, are often sexually abused or exploited as well.

Domestic Servitude
Involuntary domestic servitude is a form of human trafficking found in distinct circumstances—work in a private residence—that create unique vulnerabilities for victims. It is a crime in which a domestic worker is not free to leave his or her employment and is abused and underpaid, if paid at all. Many domestic workers do not receive the basic benefits and protections commonly extended to other groups of workers—things as simple as a day off. Moreover, their ability to move freely is often limited, and employment in private homes increases their isolation and vulnerability. Labor officials generally do not have the authority to inspect employment conditions in private homes. Domestic workers, especially women, confront various forms of abuse, harassment, and exploitation, including sexual and gender-based violence. These issues, taken together, may be symptoms of a situation of domestic servitude. When the employer of a domestic worker has diplomatic status and enjoys immunity from civil and/or criminal jurisdiction, the vulnerability to domestic servitude is enhanced.
Forced Child Labor
Although children may legally engage in certain forms of work, children can also be found in slavery or slavery-like situations. Some indicators of forced labor of a child include situations in which the child appears to be in the custody of a non-family member who requires the child to perform work that financially benefits someone outside the child’s family and does not offer the child the option of leaving, such as forced begging. Anti-trafficking responses should supplement, not replace, traditional actions against child labor, such as remediation and education. When children are enslaved, their exploiters should not escape criminal punishment—something that occurs when governments use administrative responses to address cases of forced child labor.

George Santayana
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana (16 December 1863 in Madrid, Spain – 26 September 1952 in Rome, Italy) was a philosopher, essayist, poet and novelist.
