Posting cause people think slavery ended like lincon just snapped his fingers like thanos and it was over I'm pretty sure even people that are more flippant about the issue know about the Civil War. (edit; and Jim Crow and the massive rights violations and crimes committed against blacks for the larger part of the 20th century.) The difference though being condoned by the federal govt. to being an outright crime. Acknowledging this absolutely binary context isn't being flippant.

Balrog0 05/07/18 12:06:09 PM #22:	this isn't exactly slavery in the sense we meant before the civil war, to be fair, it is a share cropping arrangement that was indeed popular for a long time after the civil war, and did continue longer in the mississippi delta area specifically than most of the rest of the country As I would realize, people are afraid to share their stories, because in the South so many of the same white families who owned these plantations are still running local government and big businesses. They still hold the power. So the poor and disenfranchised really dont have anywhere to share these injustices without fearing major repercussions. To most folks, it just isnt worth the risk.
