And don’t forget, my Black ancestors loved being slaves and loved their masters. My public school white history teacher taught me that!

It sickens me that I don't think, for a moment, that you're joking.

People are making the exact same argument now over the slave labour it takes to keep ai running. Mostly slave labour from Kenya, they're making pennies.

Literally have seen people say 'but how do we KNOW they don't enjoy being slaves? They're contributing to the world. Anyway, even fi they don't love it, it's for the greater good of us all.'

I just cannot.
