STOP USING THE WORD SLAVERY. If anything, use indentured servant. There is nothing more naive and pretentious than referring to anything you have been through or experienced as slavery. By using this word you actually begin to alienate the people of color who we want and need as allies in this time. If we want change, if we want everyone we feel sharing the common bonds of humanity to stand together we must be aware of this. We may be the 99%, but we do not all have the same shared history, and to not acknowledge that is a disservice to yourself and those around you.

Just a wandering mass of carbon-based energy. looking for some elements to bond with.Check out my blog for a few minutes and you will realize the things that inspire me most: Women, Cigarettes, Tattoos, spiritual development, and an unabashed cynicism towards hypocrisy. Enjoy.
Oh, I'm a member of the Intangible Collective. The illest people, let alone poets you ever heard.
I'll be your guide through this portion of the strange and twisting maze that is the interwebs.

Why “Dear White People”? Why not “Dear Everyone”? Because I’m pretty sure most black people (or other people whose ancestors were enslaved) have never experienced slavery themselves. The word “slavery” is only as hyperbolic as saying “I’m starving”.
