A quick definition of slavery, badge of:

Slavery, Badge of: A term used to describe the legal restrictions and discrimination suffered by slaves, such as the inability to vote or own property. It can also refer to any act of racial discrimination that is prohibited by the 13th Amendment of the US Constitution, whether it is done publicly or privately.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The term "badge of slavery" refers to any legal or social restriction imposed on a person based on their race, which is similar to the restrictions imposed on slaves. This term is derived from the historical practice of branding or marking slaves with a badge to indicate their status as property.

Examples:

A law that prohibits people of a certain race from voting is considered a badge of slavery.
A policy that denies housing or employment opportunities to people based on their race is also a badge of slavery.

These examples illustrate how the term "badge of slavery" is used to describe any form of discrimination that limits a person's rights or opportunities based on their race. Such restrictions are similar to those imposed on slaves, who were denied basic human rights and treated as property.

No, at least from the two people I know there that’s false. I think it’s just something like Chicago for conservatives is on par with S whereas for liberals it’s below HYS but above CCNP

It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)
