Very well, Miss Jameson, if slavery is not much of a concern to you then I am sure you will have no problem in consenting to be my slave.
From now on, you shall work in my plantation all day long until I tell you to come in.
You will then wash up and be my sex slave all night long without whimper or protest. The sex will, of course, be unprotected, but lest you forget, you're my slave and you have no say-so in the matter, you understand?
In the mornings, you will get up and carefully prepare and dutifully serve breakfast to me according to my precise instructions. The eggs shall be poached to perfection and you must never over-toast the bread or you will taste my lash.
These troublesome slaves need to be kept in their place otherwise they tend to become uppity.
You understand your orders as I have explained them to you?
Oh, and one more thing, from now on, you will address me as "Masser"
. . .and if you really want to please me, it will be "Masser Gunn"

Apparently you took offense to what I said. What I meant by my statement is that you don't have to prove to anyone here, including myself, that you're better than a slave owner. If you feel the need to rank yourself among all human beings, that's one for the therapist. The situation you just played may very well be truth if laws were different. As a Black woman I get on my knees and thank the heavens for being able to make my own decisions, and pray that future generations don't send themselves BACK into slavery with theirs. For you to twist something so simple to think I'm okay with slavery is insulting.
What if I what I got from the "Masser Gunn" scenario is that YOU want to be a slave owner deep down? That may very well be a possibility, but it has nothing to do with what we're talking about. We were talking about human conflict, and you go off on the biggest human conflict tangent you can dream up.
I have always enjoyed your threads, and recognize your insightfulness as a human being. It's very rare in men to have a thought beyond himself and his own existence to ponder some of the things you do. But no one's perfect. This in itself shows you have issues to work out within yourself. Yes, Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner, but he was also a great man and president. But he was a MAN and a product of his time, so why would I be mad at the man and discredit anything he said because of the fact that he was a slave owner? If it's the truth, it's the truth.
Everyone in existence has their pro's and cons, including you and me. It's like diminishing my life to being 'just a whore' or yours to being 'just a trick' when we wear so many hats, and do so much good (well I hope you do) in other aspects of life. My good definitely outweighs my bad. I'm sure yours does too, but you're no Thomas Jefferson. No one is secretly thinking 'yeah, I procure companions/sell my time, but at least I don't own slaves.' Who does that? Yes, I understand that he got where he was on the backs of slaves, but it doesn't make everything he said wrong. And not being a slave owner doesn't make you RIGHT, or better. And that's okay too.
You have just conflicted your whole thread by not being objective about this situation. It is weird that you want to be better than Thomas Jefferson. Just like White people want to be better than Black people. Just like Republicans want to be better than Democrats. Especially when no matter how different we are or what class we're in, we're the same and we all fall short of the glory...
