    I am not abiding this

    They didn’t even see the slave as human. So there’s no dehumanization here, that’s already done! (From the perspective of the artist) This is like someone dressing up their dog in a funny hat and posting that, they see nothing wrong.

      The fact that the artist portrayed the grim reaper in there seems to (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)⁠>⁠⌐⁠■⁠-⁠■ paint a different picture. (⁠⌐⁠■⁠-⁠■⁠)

      Yeah, you’re probably right. But I like my version better. The guy second from left sure looks like he’s doing “tickle fingers,” so I just can’t be 100% sure.

        It’s an extremely naive point of view. I am no expert since I only saw a few documentaries and read a few articles but each time it was said that black women rape was very prevalent since it was simply seen as way for breading more slaves. The high society didn’t want white people breeding with with slaves not because it was morally wrong but because they they consider slaves way beneath them. Although It didn’t stop them from renting them to sailors to satisfy their needs.
