I'm not sure if the South's "free labor" was an economic advantage. Makes much more economic sense in the long run to adopt machinery/automation to replace slave labor.
A biography I read on Nat Turner made that claim.

What the free labor argument made sense or not it was the main objection of business owners in the north.

Yep. Same people walking out are the same people who didn't understand his "enslavement is a choice" talk as well, which was him referring to the fact that young black men are told throughout their lives they can only be this or that even in modern society. Kanye has major emotional issues but he understands the underlying problems.

Conservative celebrity: [words]
Audience: Those words dumb as **** bro
Conservatives: Well you see when he said [words], he didn't actually mean [words], he was actually navigating complex issues in a labyrinthine pattern where he purposefully blurs his intentions to achieve a step along a 350 year plan toward utopia that just so happens to start off by grinding the axes that I have with my political opponents. I can see why the blacks wouldn't be able to grasp that though.

Yes, because we should all learn how to communicate convoluted bullshit in an opaque manner.

Probably, but that wasn't the definition of an open minded audience either.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
