This attacks the core idea of human rights that everyone is protected, and that states must, under the ECHR, give people access to an effective remedy. – Adam Wagner	Found on CNN 1 year ago
I don’t think America’s racist, but I think the overhang from all of the Jim Crow, and before that, slavery, have had a cost, and we have to deal with it. – Kamala Harris	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Although formerly enslaved Americans paid for this statue, the design and sculpting process was done without their input or participation, and it shows, the statue fails to depict how enslaved African Americans pressed for their own emancipation. At the time, they had only recently been liberated from slavery and were grateful for any recognition of their freedom. However, in his keynote address at the unveiling of the statue, Frederick Douglass pointedly did not praise the statue, and, indeed, in private remarks, went as far as to say, it ‘showed the Negro on his knee when a more manly attitude would have been indicative of freedom.’. – Eleanor Holmes Norton	Found on FOX News 1 year ago

Vermont was the first State in the nation to outlaw slavery. It’s already plainly in our Constitution that slavery is not allowed in our state, we have so many more important things to do [than] to defile our old important documents to change words that have already been clearly written. There is not one sane person that could so severely misinterpret the words of our constitution to make it read that Vermonters support slavery in any form. If it were to pass, it would not change anything other than a historic document that was so thoughtfully written over two hundred years ago. – Russ Ingalls	Found on FOX News 1 year ago

It was the wording. They were talking about prisoners and we still, you know, confine prisoners. It's not slavery, but it is confining prisoners and that's what it was talking about. – Joey Hensley	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
I think it'll probably pass, i didn't vote for it because I thought it was unnecessary for us to spend the time and the effort to change that because we already abolished slavery years ago. – Joey Hensley	Found on FOX News 1 year ago

These children come in in debt to vicious cartels thousands and thousands of dollars.

Wars in old times were made to get slaves. The modern implement of imposing slavery is debt. – Ezra Pound	added by Normando 2 years ago
Freedom is not empowerment. Empowerment is what the Serbs have in Bosnia. Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered. It's not entitlement. An entitlement is what people on welfare get, and how free are they? It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights - the right to education, the right to health care, the right to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are rations of slavery - hay and a barn for human cattle. There's only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences. – P. J. O'Rourke	added by Normando 2 years ago
