Juneteenth should remind us that human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. The US Govt paying reparations to white enslavers who lost their “property” but not to the formerly enslaved who lost their lives, was legal.
Do not let legality & power be your measure of morality & justice.

@QasimRashid slavery is still legal. They just don't call them slaves anymore. They call them "workers" or "employees"
@JoshuaACasey @QasimRashid
Or “associates”.
@JoshuaACasey @QasimRashid there's a slight difference between that and your body literally belonging to a specific other person to use as they wish. But really it's just a tiny difference, and slavery is really no worse than waiting tables at Applebee's.
