@absurdistwords . Clear Language on Slavery: Slaves = Hostages. Slave Owners = Human Traffickers. Slave Catchers = Police. Plantations = Death Camps. Mistresses = Rape Victims. Discipline = Torture/Murder. Overseers = Torturers. Trading = Kidnapping. Profit = Theft. Middle Passage = Genocide. Make a note

Start replacing the words you commonly hear and read about slavery in your head. Bookmark this as a reference. Start using everyday words that are relevant to you in this day and age. Stop obscuring the horror with Std detached, antiquated, euphemistic terms.

So "Slave families lived in plantations owned by white slaveowners who hired overseers to maintain discipline" You have: "Black Families were held hostage in death camps by white human traffickers who employed torturers to torture and kill them" Different, huh?
