It is not my question but since you brought it up.... do we justify genocide and slavery by its prevalence? All these countries are like dominoes falling compared to this fact which Trump is perpetuating. The wealthiest nation in the world has the most prisoners:
Prison population per capita;
The United States has the highest prison population (2,228,424) and the second highest documented incarceration rate in the world (707 per 100,000 population), Seychelles has the highest (868 per 100,000).
There is something very sick about this and it smells like garbage that the wealthy of this nation under Trump are feeding the common person and at the same time taking the wealth for themselves as robbers. Lets wake up to a changing world with different challenges. Not concentrate on bygones. Slavery has a new name in most 'developing' nations today it is called economic slavery and genocide is now committed with chemical weapons as we see in the case of Assad and religious intolerance as seen in the case of Issis. Who is standing up against these social pathologies... surely not Trump who further divides the social classes of this nation and does not seem appalled by the vagrant human rights issues confronting the world.
It's (banally) true that the US didn't invent genocide or slavery. The above is what matters, though. And how many of those inmates are black? You'll find a large number of them. How many more are non-violent offenders? And How does Trump address this long-standing issue? He hires Jeff Sessions, a good ol mint julep drinkin' southernah, and says he wants to be the President of "law and ordah." That sounds like code for lock up the niggers and potheads and anyone else who isn't a good capitalist or a good Christian slave.
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. - Ephesians 6:5
To. Hell. With. These. Fucks.
