Considering slavery was abolished in the US in 1865, no one alive ever felt what it's like to be a slave.
Most people moaning about this are virtue-signaling.
And corpos only do it to avoid lawsuits.
Oh, unless you mean wage-slaves, then i'm onboard!
You don't have to have been a slave to have dealt with racism. Enough people still get really excited about their confederate flags that clearly the era is still heavily topical.
The word "confederate" means nothing beyond referring to a type of government, but when I hear it, I think immediately of the American civil war. Even though that ended in 1865 so I was never alive to witness that.
That's not how word associations work.
