I love all this idea of "there isn't a person alive today who was a slave"..
Yes, let's just forget all the Jim Crow laws and the fact that lynchings were still being reported in the media into the late 1960's, and you hear reports of it still happening in some Southern states.
Let's just forget that Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated in 1968 preaching for the same causes that were raised by Frederick Douglass in 1841.
Let's just forget that 1 in 3 black men statistically will spend jail time in their lifetimes, often for crimes they never committed.
There may be only very few cases of slavery in the modern world, but for the blacks, the Mexicans, the Native Americans and other ethnic minorities in America, there is such a thing as still being a slave to society.
