Yes it is. Look the word up and read the entire definition.

According to webster dictionary slavery is defined 3 different ways.

1. Drudgery, Toil

2. Submission to a dominating influence.

3. The state of a person who is chattel of another.

Drudgery is defined as dull, irksome and fatiguing work; uninspiring or menial labor.

Slaves from Africa who was sold by their own people and was put on a boat to come to the Americas to serve as free labor and who were people who were chattel of another. That was bad. No human deserves to be forced to provide free labor for another human and receive physical abuse as a form of submission.

With that said, I had absolutely nothing to do with that. Part of my family came over from Germany in the early 1900s, another part of my family were dirt poor sharecroppers who worked on tobacco farms in Georgia. So no one in my family ever owned slaves.

I really don't know what you are trying to prove, but if you are arguing that black people are still treated like slaves today than there is nothing I can say that will make you think rational because however you define it today... Also applies to other races, including whites.. That is, if you consider people who are getting paid to do a job, but still has a dominating influence over them.

Just about everyone who works for a company is a slave, based on how you want to describe it. If you wake up, have to get dressed and there are certain guidelines you have to follow, in terms of what you wear. Then be at work for a certain time, do a full day of work that makes you fatigue by the end of the day and you have to stay at work until a certain time, no matter how tired you feel.. then most of the people I know are slaves.

In today's world, in 2017.. slavery is a state of mind. If someone is getting paid well to do a job and with that job, comes rules and guidelines that must be followed, if that makes them feel like a slave then that is a mindset that they allow to hold them back.

The "privileged" in today's world makes up about 1% of the population and within that population, it doesn't include just white people. Most are white, but if you look at the US for example. Black people make up 13%, white people make up 77%. So if 1% of blacks are "privileged" then that would be 0.13% of the population. If 1% of whites are "privileged" then that is 0.77% of the white population. So there will automatically be more white people who are "privileged"
And by privileged, I mean wealthy.. Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan. two black people who are worth billions. They are much more privileged than I am...

So what insane excuse or argument will you make? Or will you claim you didn't read because you can't really argue this?
