Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Lets talk about joe Rogan endorsing Bernie Sanders [View all]Scurrilous
(38,687 posts)"Former Vice President Joe Biden has often claimed to have broad support from the African American community, and according to a recent Washington Post-Ipsos poll, hes right.
The national poll, conducted from January 2 through January 8, found that Biden holds a lead of about 28 points among Democratic-leaning black voters, with 48 percent support. That number places him ahead of second-place Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has 20 percent support with a 4 percent margin of error. Even more striking, Biden and Sanders were the only candidates to achieve double-digit support among black voters: Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, whose struggles to gain support from the African American community have been well-documented, only eked out 2 percent."

Maybe the socialist movement in America should reconsider using the term wage slavery, given our whole history with slavery and lack of reparations. Just spitballing here...

It feels like the natural evolution of the language they use.
Throw around the phrase "wage slavery" enough and white people are going to start thinking of themselves as actual slaves.

I don't know. I wasn't in Vermont back then. Maybe they were selling white husbands and children away from their wives and mothers? Plus picking cotton in Burlington in January is probably pretty brutal.

This was the most jarring part of this. As though if the owners had the consent of the slaves it would have been OKAY?
As though negotiating the sale of a company is in any way similar to negotiating the sale of a HUMAN F*CKING BEING.
