    And the thing of it is, the white conservative racists want slavery back because they think it’ll apply to black people. But little do they realize that big capital wants slavery back, too, and big capital will be all to happy put everyone into slavery, including white conservatives.

      They’re all too happy to point out that white people were slaves too elsewhere in the world so that makes our slavery somehow not racist… They’ll then hold these same beliefs as you state.

      Ignorance really is bliss huh…

        Also ignoring that the various types of “white slavery” were in fact very different than the chattel slavery employed against African people. The kind of slavery we practiced in America treated (black) people as literal property. Including their own children, who could be born into slavery.

        I’m not sure ignorance is the right word. “Willful disingenuity” is what leaps to my mind, but that doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as easily.
