The U.S. and its several states have consistently participated in activities as bad or worse than any Communist government.

You didn't read it very carefully, then. Like this slavery clause, unpunishable except by white testimony. A small bribe to the Justice of the Peace, and your good to go.

14. When an Indian is convicted of an offence before a Justice of the Peace, punishable by fine, any white man may, by consent of the justice, give bond for said Indian, conditioned for the payment of said fine and costs, and in such case the Indian shall be compelled to work for the person so bailing, until he has discharged or cancelled the fine assessed against him: Provided; the person bailing shall treat the Indian humanely, and feed and clothe him properly; the allowance given for such labor shall be fixed by the Court, when the bond is taken.
