He doesn’t say that. He said “improving working conditions for slaves is not an argument for slavery”.

He then goes on to say that 19th century slave-owners argued that slavery is good, because “slaves were better treated than wage laborers”. Which is an equally ridiculous argument in favor of slavery.

The idea that slaves had it better than workers is and always has been blatantly false, as evidenced by the many black people fleeing slavery in the south to be workers in the north and the non-existent line of northern workers attempting to become enslaved in the south.

My grandmother used to say: if you expect your good deed to be reciprocated, you’re not actually doing a good deed.

She said it in dutch, so I hope it’s an decent translation.

Why would they do that? It’s cheaper to just build a mansion in newly tropical Svalbard island.

I seriously bit the onion. Thought this was going to be an op-ed about how democrats are failing to directly engage with minority groups while purporting to represent them. XD
