Equivilating Obamacare to Slavery is the pinnacle of ignorance and dishonours the memory of those who suffered under slavery in American history and suffer from Modern Slavery today.
What I absolutely love here, is how many conservatives skewers Blacks for bringing up Slavery today when it comes to issues with the black community and in regards to any kind of reparations...
But magically it's allowed to be brought up in this context.
And as my esteemed colleague pointed out, to ignore other significant events that caused massive suffering to Americans, such as WW1, WW2, Vietnam etc. is also an insult to the lives that were lost and affected by those events.
I have no problem with reparations, just bring me an actual owned slave from the 1800's and they are deserving of such.
As for slavery v. taxation it is absolutely a valid point regardless of your dislike of it.
