You are the one who is ignoring the fact that that the "Black Codes" were overturned or rerealed long ago. You won't find a single black person in the south trapped in a forced labor camp due to charges of "vagrancy".
Part of the overall conversation happening right now is the honest examination concerning other ways that people of color continue to be subjugated and controlled in forms that aren't physical slavery per se, but rather a psychological and systematic continuation of purposeful oppression that still feels very inescapable for many, even with the social and judicial progression that has been slowly contoured by modernity.
