[For those not keeping track: Lately, state legislation has been passed recently to prohibit schools from teaching that slavery is bad]

Captured African B&D fetishists found being chained up to be demeaning but also erotic.

Slaves could not be arrested and convicted of tax fraud. So, they were treated like billionaires are treated, today.

Slavery was the cause of the Civil War, which, in turn, caused slavery to become illegal. In other words, slavery would’ve never been outlawed if it wasn’t for slavery…

♦

If slavery hadn’t existed, Frederick Douglas’ autobiography would’ve been a real snooze.

In a pretty direct way, the country of Liberia was born out of slavery, so that we may enjoy its culture and fine cinema.
