The next flags down

Now that the Confederate flag is taking its place in the museum addressing its past in the history of slavery, the next flags need to come down and do the same. These are the flags of Nike, Philip Morris, Hershey's, Victoria's Secret, Toys 'R Us and the other corporations who employ foreign workers at slave wages and in slave conditions.

Just like slavery in the Old South, this is exploitation for profit, ignoring any sense of ethics or morality. And like 19th century slavery, it benefits, not just the slave masters, but all who benefit in working, investing and consuming.
