slavery did not end 400 years ago

slavery ended 147 years ago

still fairly recent in history

ima need white folks to stop coming with these redic large numbers so they can feel better about saying get over it

Not to mention freed slaves were forced to buy, live and work under their former owners because the U.S. Government refused to give them any aid. Indentured servitude became their own means of survival.

They got freed on Sunday… but were put back on the plantation on Monday.

Slavery did not 147 years ago. We just stopped calling it that.

Also: Laws were passed that made it illegal for black people to “not work”.  If you were walking down the street and couldn’t name the white man you worked for, you were arrested, put in jail…. then rented out as convict labor.

So…

Yes, and even after slavery ended black people still had no legal protection from violence against them. Look at the reasons given for lynching & riots like those during the Red Summer of 1919 sometime, people were murdered for being too successful. 

slavery never ended

it was outsourced to the prison industrial complex.  slavery was migrated from a private property model that utilized plantations and individual owners.  it was replaced by eliminating ownership with debt and criminal status, costs are the responsibility of tax payers while profits are siphoned off to private individuals.  slavery is now branded as morality and criminality where the slave conditions (work and confinement with no pay or autonomy) persist and the profits go to private individuals of the non-slave class.  most prisoners are non-white and most prison owners are white.

slavery never ended.
