The idea of innate human dignity is racist now? lol
...are you seriously trying to argue that slave owners weren't denying slaves their human dignity by reducing them to property? Or do you like to just go against the grain for the sake of being edgy and hip?
I like to read entire opinions instead of just some blog that takes half a paragraph out of context in order to score political points.
Yes, slaves retained their dignity as much as anyone. To say otherwise is an insult to their humanity and gives too much power to their oppressors.
