    they were treated like family

    So I take it the women in your family get raped by family members?

    It’s always an easy argument on this side of the fence.

    I suggest we have a giant rally in celebration of slavery. After everyone gets there, we lock all the exits and sell everyone inside to slavers.

    The rally participants will be happy, the rest of society will be happy. Win-win.

    It’s impossible to be a good slaver. It’s like saying someone was a considerate rapist. I’m sure that some rapists are more considerate than others, but it kinda misses the point.

    Slavery was an institution of violence and coercion. Even is someone could kidnap, imprison, and own someone “kindly”, the overwhelming violence of other slavers still benefit you because you can sell uncooperative slaves “down the river”.
