That was kinda my thought too .. poor american white folks who'd have to be reminded of a time when their ancestors might have owned people who did labor for them.

I don't find being called "black" offensive. I'm a paper-white Norse boy, though.

Well, in this case they're implying that you're a terrible person. Hitler was a master in Nazi Germany, and calling someone Hitler is pretty offensive.

A terribly rich person. I'll take it.

And how would you propose to motivate unpaid workers? Huh? Don't judge till you've walked a mile in their shoes.

someone in my class was trying to sound compassionate by explaining that if he were a slavemaster back in the day he wouldn't beat his slaves, he'd basically treat them like workers he paid with food and housing. on some uncle tom's cabin ****. it was one of those amusingly awkward white guilt moments.

i pressured him a bit and started asking him what he would do if his slaves decided they wanted to leave his property and go pursue a life of freedom. but he was too stubborn to be moved. so i kept pressuring him to beat his imaginary slaves or at least question his certainty in what kind of morals he would have if he were born in a different place and time with different social pressures and influences shaping his perspective of right vs wrong behavior.

my teacher was a black dude with a decent sense of humor and he ended the back and forth by interjecting "well, all already know what brandon (me) would do."

Yeah, while everyone else is beating each other, you'd be beating yourself.

Remember this thread? I think we almost made WD's brain explode.
