A more than 400-year old kidnapping and forced servitude that happened when white men feed themselves and their kids off of the hard work of Black men and their children. After all of that is over they all try to forget that it ever happened. The descendants of Black men wouldn't realize what was happening and they would blame themselves for all of their own problems as if they didn't know that their distant parents and relatives were all slaves.
Black Man: "I'm broke."
white man: "That's because slavery happened to your family and you need to catch up. I'm not going to help you out though. It's not fair. I'm not square. I am a pimp."

Get the legalized slavery mug.The use of legalistic loopholes, cultural relativism, or economic arguments to defend exploitative labor practices (prison labor, debt bondage, abusive migrant worker contracts). It claims these systems are "voluntary" contracts, "cultural norms," or necessary for competitiveness, sanitizing coercion with the language of choice and law.
Example: Defending a corporation's use of prison labor by saying, "It teaches skills and reduces recidivism," while ignoring the perverse incentive to incarcerate and the sub-poverty wages. The modern slavery rationalization rebrands forced, uncompensated labor as rehabilitation and a bargain for taxpayers.
