The really sad thing about slavery is its still widespread today, yet few people give a damn about those still being oppressed in this way.

If you have been duly convicted of a crime, yes. And its quite common. (prison labor)  Slavery has two histories, the ones were familiar with the Atlantic slave trade and the west African slave trade largely ended in the last century, buy there are several other nexuses of slavery you would be surporised to learn about in the Indian Ocean, cenetring around Zanzibar.. And also the so called Barbary Coast.. Anyway, i'm right now digging into Oman and the Middile East.. which is interesting.
Well, it's like pollution. We displace it kinda far away so that it's not directly visible, and we feel good.

Getting sick while poor?

Slavery by race is now illegal Slavery in the United States  is legal if somebody is duly convicted of a crime. Make America Great Again, means make America Profitable Again, to some people. Paying people to work back them was fairly progressive. To some peoploe it still is. Its not the default, its a presnt to them.

What are you talking about? Are other forms of slavery legal in the US?

Lets not talk about it any more.. It makes me sad.. Nobody is entitled to anything. We still have a lot of work to do to bring ourselves up to where we ought to be.

There is a pervasive sense of entitlement radiated by the wealthy, who seem to feel entitled to huge windfalls right around now. Which bugs me.. They are arguably right the way things are going now. The concept of a "living wage" is alien to some people because they are claiming entitlement to windfalls due to vast increases in migration under free trade. Making wages fall a lot. Wages are determined by supply and demand.
Ive known about this since I was a kid.. And that knowledge transformed me..

I think he's referring to the US prison industrial complex, that uses prisoners in close to slavery conditions to produce a huge range of consumer products. Most countries only allow prisoners to produce things for the state, like military uniforms. There is a reason why certain groups really like private prisons, and having the world's large percentage of people incarcerated in the US.

Yup.. I am weird in a certain way, I just notice certain things a lot more.. Certain kinds of behaviors.. I am just praying that I'm wrong.

Lets leave it there for now. Pray.

As Dave pointed out on the comments section of this video, there is very little to be done other than providing feedback on this portion of the search results page. I personally don't see a problem with the "algorithm" as she mentioned: it is returning an unfiltered result based on what people actually search*. What one does with that information is what matters.

In a society that is more accepting of the trans community, such piece of information, despite distorted, could be the spark of a broader conversation about the word or even be used as PR currency in a partnership.

It's now gone. I did report it a few hours ago, so maybe that did the trick?

It was actioned internally at Google. It seems Fran has viewers with influence.
Would be nice to know how easy it is for things like Naomi's issue to get fixed at Youtube. Sometimes you hear of things getting fixed, other times you hear about huge names not being able to get things fixed, people you would think would have direct influence.

I think having prisoners perform useful work is a good idea, it isn't slavery, it's punishment for committing crimes. Personally I think any proceeds should go toward reimbursing crime victims rather than profit for private prisons though.
