Privileged slave? Ain't that something
It is impossible to own a human. You’re either a persons guardian, spouse or capturer/jailer holding them against their will. But humans can not be owned by no one nothing but themselves.
I am 40% white and only 59% African ancestry DNA results do you have any idea how horrible I feel what a disaster
Massachusetts was the first state to legalize slavery and the first state to illegalize slavery but nonetheless it is an extremely racist state and quite vicious from my memories as a young baby girl
