I had to tell a person about indentured servants vs chattel slavery...they still thought slavery of AA WASN'T AS BAD AS THEIR ANCESTOR'S WAS. It's total WILLFUL ignorance like this that has me turning away from people. Hell I found out two people that I have had good thoughts about and contact with, even got the one person a job, found out they voted for trimp, "a shot in the dark outside chance" vote. Now on principle, I have to stay away so I don't get angry at their ignorance and latent racism?
