One is too many, but, the in American discourse at least, the implied equivalence is used to undercut and diminish the Atlantic slave trade, which I think no one can dispute echoes much louder into our present day.
One is too many, and I don’t mean to diminish that but at least in the context of the US I would argue there is slavery, and then there is Slavery.
You’re right rape is cool as long as im raping you, but if you try to rape me then itis a serious problem. Plus it was only a small number of times I raped you. /s
I’ve sat here and read this carefully a few times and I do not follow your point. Who is me and who is you in this scenario? Is you Ireland? And is me America or who is Africa? How does this seeming reciprocal rape relate to either, or indeed any, slavery situation?
I’m going back to reread the Wikipedia article just in case you’re too deep for me.
