We are not talking about the "New Jim Crow."

We're talking about the old one.

Keep in mind that that is partly after the fact; not entirely during the post- period of the bill passing.

But I don't doubt that it still goes on, even if it has a hurdle to it.

Keep in mind that while the legislation is a victory in its own right (showing which way the working-class is becoming aware and swinging in a certain direction) it will not be thing that signals the death knell to modern-day slavery.
