Ah slavery. I don't think I'll ever really be able to understand it. I can understand cultural divides and the friction it can cause. I can understand how differences can lead to violence. I can even understand quite a bit of the violence of this book. But I just don't know how to process owning a person. It doesn't compute. I don't even like people calling me "sir".
