I remember in 7th grade social studies (on the edge of the SF bay area in the 90s for crab godssake) we had to do a little assignment where we made up pros and cons of slavery.

the pros i made up were absolute bullshit "uh maybe the technology was better in the states than africa so even with slavery quality of life improved? that doesn't sound right but maybe i don't know" racist fucking ass shit turd bull fuck assignment.

sorry i'm like 10 years behind on my swears i got some catching up to do
