Black people aren't pets, nor were they pets. They are people, not chattel to be bought, sold and owned.
But I wouldn't expect reactionary fucks to understand that.
I never asserted they were...
No, of course you didn't. You just stated that, like slave owners, pet owners were sometimes nice to their chattel
My point was that the majority of slaves were not abused or neglected...
Owning another human being and removing every last human right is abuse.
Some were mean and brutal - most were not..
Like I said in a previous post "ownership" is nothing more than a legal term....
Besides, why the FUCK would a slave owner abuse their assets???
Slaves were not cheap you know.... Most families didn't have slaves because most couldn't afford them....
Beating or neglecting a slave would be in todays terms like buying a 20k vehicle and beating the shit out of it...
