It's a loaded term, though. Regardless of whether you believe African-Americans are still experiencing the negative effects of slavery 150 years after it was abolished. The thing that is so particularly sinister: A: "Slavery was never abolished, it was only extended to include all the others." B: "You're right, so we should do away with affirmative action."

E: "Great, now let's solve the nuanced problems of inequality across the board!" crickets
