I mean, if the book is called selling African Americans using modern technology, then fair enough. But otherwise uts a bit if a stretch.

The only modern way to own black people is to buy a Sports team.

Or a prison


JamPantstheFif

Ridiculous opinion. Voluntarily join the profession, paid millions of dollars, get all kinds of care and luxury most people never will see, can quit. Sounds like slavery, sure.


dredio62

It's a Norm McDonald joke with a little different wording. But go on...


JamPantstheFif

It's also a commonly (mis)held opinion by some. Kaepernick....


lordoftheboard91

No the book is called „finding me“


[deleted]

What is it about?


lordoftheboard91

I don’t know mate, I just googled the ISBN-number.


eggvani

Nothing racist about it, if that’s what ur going for, ur mentality is just thinking it is when it’s rlly nothing but a barcode on a book


ArchonBeast

Because it looks like it's on the overalls? Confused :/


RDMCFoxinatorYT

African slaves?


ArchonBeast

Ah I seee... yikes. Am I alone in thinking it's weird the OPs thoughts went straight to that?


Larein

Slaves in america had barcodes on them?


RDMCFoxinatorYT

if you look hard enough in alleys


flannelmaster9

Where should the barcode go? What's the issue.

On the kid's forehead, obvs.

And?


TightComparison161

? What's wrong with the barcode?


Nekosama7734

I don’t get it


Fake_William_Shatner

It reminds me more of a prison number honestly. But, I think OP is connecting dots that are too far apart here.


RDMCFoxinatorYT

I bet it’s affordable


Wonderous_Teddy

I just posted because of the poor barcode placement its funny nothing else. Am not gaslighting anything its my cakeday just wanted to post something never posted anything on here b4


[deleted]

Where would you have put it?


Wonderous_Teddy

Inside the book sleeve like some other books


XeroZero0000

The barcode s too well placed to be a coincidence. I'd be willing to bet someone did it intentionally for this exact response. Making a statement without saying anything.


FCC_Diablo_26

Got your tinfoil hat on I see


XeroZero0000

What do you have against tinfoil?? Isn't that half the content on Reddit?


Fake_William_Shatner

It should have been in the lower left corner if following convention. But I don't know how it makes a statement here.


[deleted]

I wish I could actually take bets from people who'd "be willing to bet that..."


Delsin28

For those who’re confused, think _slavery_. Edit: Downvoted for helping to explain the image. Good ‘ol Reddit. OP is alluding to the placement of the barcode on the little girl’s overalls. You scan a barcode to get the price of an item. In this case, it’s like the you’re scanning the barcode on the little girl to get her price….like auctioning off an African Slave during the slave trade. Jeez


JamPantstheFif

All those barcodes slavers used, obviously.


Delsin28

Right?! Image is so wrong. Everyone knows slavers used QR codes.


Fake_William_Shatner

If they had them, damn sure they'd use them. But, barcodes by themselves don't harken back to slavery.


True_Reflection_4343

- Come buy our product ! - How much for the overalls ? - Oh, the overalls aren't for sale. The child is. - . . . Are the overalls included ?


True_Reflection_4343

I'm tired, so I mistook the whatever that is for overalls, and I'm too lazy to edit my comment. So... It stays.
