When people say "they got me working like a slave" are they trivializing it?
yes, cause they are not being whipped and forced to do labour
When people refer to the Eastern European ethnic group "slavs" are they trivializing it?
no, cause they really existed. But it obviously depends on context
When a band names themselves
"Slaves" are they trivializing it?
yes, cause there is an implicit meaning to being a slave that doesn't involve choice, which the band had in their decicion to call themselves
When people refer to children forced in to unpaid work or to fight on the frontline soldiers and brides forced into marriage as "slaves" are they trvializing it?
no, cause those are three different concepts/situations that reference a key definition of being a slave, no choice and being forced
FOH, ol smart dumb "anyone saying anything relating to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, is automatically racist" ass nikka, spoiling everybodys fun.
If nikkas would just admit to willfully being ignorant, then I don't think most folks, especially those who disagree, will have much to say. That is your choice and your lane that you decided
But when nikkas try to reason and defend clear ignorance, then that is where the problem occurs
