Hey mark,
Apologies not needed. I'd argue that many large corporations in this country along with assorted practitioners of financial chicanery regularly perpetrate economic slavery upon the majority of WE THE PEOPLE. Anyone notice that things like public transit keep getting cut as the one percent gobble up more and more of our assets each year? WE have entered what I and Kevin Philips call the third gilded age. The first occurred in the 1880's, the second in the 1920's and this third one which began around 2002 is worse than the previous two though the unemployment rate is not as high. Note also that during this time period, our infrastructure, water mains, roads and bridges and sidewalks are deteriorating due to neglect so that we may keep taxes low on our royal wealthy who too many of us have been brainwashed into worshiping.
Having said all that, that's no excuse for discrimination. I'd say that if these trends continue, we can look forward to increased discrimination as more and more of us fight each other tooth and nail for smaller and smaller pieces of the American pie.
Well, I guess that's quite enough preaching for a Sunday.
