And it continues all around the world to this very day. Right now, there's a twelve year old girl in China who's been away from her family for six months working sixteen hour days making Levi jeans. If she makes the train, she might see her loved ones for Chinese New Year. If she misses it, well, back to the grind little bitch! The first world needs some new pants!
The only country that seems to take any grief about slavery is The United States of America. Why is that? They've almost all participated in the practice. |
Perhaps because it runs so completely counter to what this county is supposed to be all about. When a president trips and falls on his face, people talk about it. When the guys from Jackass do the same thing it's ignored because of different expectations.
The nation was founded on the principles of freedom and liberty. For much of it's history, the US has been a beacon of liberty, so when the US does the exact opposite, people notice.
