      America still had slavery in the 1940s when the last slave was freed (might’ve been later than that) and it still has slavery in the form of prison labor

        And we still have slavery. It is legal per the 13th amendment. Disgusting.

      They didn’t even class indigenous Australians as people, until late 1960’s. They were considered fauna.

        That’s a myth that needs to end.

          Is it ? Australia hold a référendum this year to give a bit more rights to native people. They voted against it.

            Yes?

            I am Australian. And the vote wasn’t about rights, it was about representation.

              You can use the wording you want, Australia is a racist country that shows no respect to the native people.

      Formally, it wasn’t slavery. Effectively, it was.

        I’m seeing chains on necks, looks like slavery to me. Even if they were prisoners, that is inhumane.

        Fucking greasy to think it’s so close to recent history.
