A slave was property, a cooperation is a person

In my opinion, consistency in the law has finally confirmed
issues in this contemporary era as to who in America are
slaves and who their masters are.

There is a saying, “The more things change, the more
they remain the same” i.e., American style slavery and
masters syndromes.

It worked before so now it has been officially acknowledged by the U.S. Supreme Court that American slavery embraces a wider population of our society than earlier beliefs.

True, identities of slave masters may have changed but
the hierarchical structure of dominance remains the same with
surprisingly few uses of various contemporary instruments.


I was not able to find the specific decree granting ownership
of slaves but I did find the one granting human attributes to
corporations: Citizens United Vs. FEC

I am mindful months ago Rep. Donna Edwards and Speaker
of the House Nancy Pelosi vowing with the vigor and
tenacity of Susan B. Anthony to repeal the Supreme Court
decision by adding an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I wished them luck then and continue to do so.
Despite not being natural persons,
corporations are recognized by the law to have rights and
responsibilities like actual people.

With Your Rights

By: Ruth Calvo
Excerpt:
By a 5-4 vote, the court ruled that corporations may spend
freely to support or oppose candidates for president and
Congress, overturning a 20-year-old decision that barred
such contributions.


And
"We find no basis for the proposition that, in the context of
political speech, the government may impose restrictions on
certain disfavored speakers," Justice Anthony Kennedy
wrote for the majority. "The court has recognized that First
Amendment protection extends to corporations."
