Even if slaves were only used for household chores that doesn't remove the fact that they didn't have freedom. They were under the will of someone else. At the end what good would be slavery if all their needs are covered but they don't have self-determination
the 'roman slavery was just household slaves not like later plantation/industrial slavery' thing I hear all the time from people irl is going to make me insane for real. it's not their fault they don't know but the fact that this is the general perception of roman slavery is literally so hideous to me. frantically leans into the microphone for 300 dollars who can tell me who the people doing most of the large scale agricultural and mining work were. please. pl

This book has been recommended to me a lot, it is over a very important topic, women's rights how race and gender work together to effect women throughout history. here is a free audio book of it. The first chapter talks about how women salves were treated differently compared to male slaves
I listened to most of the first chapter but had to stop because it was very triggering for me. So I will not be reading the rest of it, but for those who have stronger stomachs than me, it is a really good book and Angela. Y. Davis is a fantastic author.

TW possessive behavior | TW sex slavery
He hates briar and his filthy dealings. But Briar seemed so insistent. That he would like the show tonight.
This place is gross. The people here are worse. He's above it all he's pretty sure. But as he finnaly settles into the crowd and the "entertainment" is dragged out on stage his eyes widen.
It's you. You look different. Thinner. Your hair is longer and tangled. He always kept it short so you wouldn't trip over it in the field. You used to be well fed and happy. Now you look sick... neglected. Not to mention the bruises and cuts over your body several slashes cover the brand on your thigh. Your missing horn is especially upsetting.
You don't even react as you're dragged around by your hair. You don't even cry or fight. It twists something within remy that he doesn't quite understand.
He shoves people aside as he clamers to the front of the crowd. Protests and shouts start to erupt behind him but he doesn't care as he grabs you finnaly.
You're back in his arms again. You may be broken but you're still his.
Remy takes you away from the brothel threatening any degenerate in his way that he'll take fingers if they try and stop him. It works for the most part until he reaches briar.
Briar stands at the exit. As if he was expecting this interaction to happen. Always so clever...
"I'm leaving. And I'm taking them with me" remy says leaving no room for argument.
"You'll have to replace them." Briar insists
Thats a gamble but remy isn't weak he doesn't have to hide his feelings or prove how valuable you are.
"I'll get you your replacement tomorrow. But if you ever touch this one again. I'll end you"

Two extra points:
People often erroneously assume that all/most of the Bertram's income comes from Antigua. This is most likely untrue. Sir Thomas was in financial trouble because Antigua was giving poor returns AND Tom ran up some massive debts. He probably could have dealt with one or the other, not both. Plantations in England are mentioned and a five mile park around the manor house, so it's likely they have a good income in England which Antigua supplements.
Secondly, the novel never reveals what exactly Sir Thomas had or fixed in Antigua and he is presented as a moral character throughout. His redemption at the end is about mercenary ambitions in England and in regards to his children. Whatever point Jane Austen was trying to make about slavery, I never trust anyone who says they know exactly what it was. It might be more about Fanny Price/the position of women in British society (a point explicitly made in Emma*) which is not super palatable today. It may be about how the entire gentry's wealth is founded in suffering. I don't know. But I find people who dismiss the entire book because Sir Thomas is (possibly) a slave owner really annoying. Just because we are explicitly told Sir Thomas has interest in Antigua doesn't mean any of the other extremely wealthy men are innocent. What kind of trade made those Bingleys so wealthy?
*“Excuse me, ma’am, but this is by no means my intention; I make no inquiry myself, and should be sorry to have any made by my friends. When I am quite determined as to the time, I am not at all afraid of being long unemployed. There are places in town, offices, where inquiry would soon produce something—Offices for the sale—not quite of human flesh—but of human intellect.”
“Oh! my dear, human flesh! You quite shock me; if you mean a fling at the slave-trade, I assure you Mr. Suckling was always rather a friend to the abolition.” “I did not mean, I was not thinking of the slave-trade,” replied Jane; “governess-trade, I assure you, was all that I had in view; widely different certainly as to the guilt of those who carry it on; but as to the greater misery of the victims, I do not know where it lies. But I only mean to say that there are advertising offices, and that by applying to them I should have no doubt of very soon meeting with something that would do.”
Emma, V 2, Ch XVII
Don’t Write Off Sir Thomas
Sir Thomas is a very complex character and it’s important to understand him. He is both a deeply moral person and involved in slavery and that makes him human.
Yes, Sir Thomas is probably a slave owner, or a person who invests in sugar plantations that use slavery. But that is not how he sees himself. He probably doesn’t even think about it much, he sees himself as a moral father, a good member of parliament, and a good husband. And the tricky part is that he can reasonably be both.
Slavery is bad (obviously), but we are also on a very precarious high horse when we judge Sir Thomas and the rest of Regency England. Most people then probably didn’t think about the origin of their sugar, just like we today don’t. Most people probably thought slavery was unfortunate, but how else do they get cotton or tea? It’s just how the economy works! It wasn’t in front of them, they had their own problems, they forgot, or they reasoned, or they justified.
Many many product TODAY (like chocolate and tea) are produced by slaves or in very slave-like conditions, some things in the very same countries. We know, or should know, that companies use child labour and that offshore factories in so many countries are terrible and inhumane. We should know that the cheap products we buy are made by people living in near slavery. It’s just how the economy works! It isn’t in front of us; we forget, we reason, and we justify.
Sir Thomas is not any better or worse than us. He does what many people do, he compartmentalizes. He does something totally immoral during the day and then comes home and believes he’s a moral person. That’s just his job (or investment), it’s not him. He goes to church, he supports the poor around Mansfield, and tries to raise his children with principles. Just because he’s much closer and much more involved in the evil doesn’t acquit anyone else. And just because slavery was clearly wrong, doesn’t mean that any of us are right.
So instead of just writing off Sir Thomas as evil because he’s involved in slavery, we should take a moment to wonder what someone in 200 years will think of us, and our economy, and our rationalizations of evil.
(This is why the 1999 adaption, which made him into a flatly evil character, did not do anything to forward our understanding of slavery. A nuanced discussion of how a person can both see themselves as moral and be involved in such a distasteful activity is the message we actually need to hear)

Why do people try to rewrite history. It's like they've completely forgotten or only see the positives of the history, like the Arab conquests. They don't acknowledge the salvery of Jewish people or they straight up deny any wrong that was done to Jewish people.
it’s because they hate jewish people.

.....
Dragon Age: Origins
Has references to assault, magic sex rituals, asks you if you would kill a child who was just trying to save his father, would you put a corrupt murderer with progressive views on a throne, slavery, revenge...
Dragon Age 2:
Deals with themes of prejudice, salvery, assault, refugees, religious zealots, toxic relationships, serial killers, and acts of terrorism.
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Talks about faith, religion, godhood, conversion therapy, brainwashing, political assassination, corruption INSIDE political/religious institutions, discussion of slavery, Transphobia and homophobia as well as Genocide.
While Dragon Age does have heroes and you play as a hero.
It DOES have dark themes and subject matters.
So, no Lily it's just a heroic fantasy.
Lily keep Dragon Age out of your mouth you sound like the grifter chud tourists trying to screech about how Veilguard is "woke" and going to fail right now.
Tumblr media
Yeah you definitely feel like a hero by the end of Dragon Age 2.

Is the Bible pro-slavery?
Look at passages such as Leviticus 25:44-46 and Ephesians 6:5 does the Bible teach slavery?
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.

Background[edit]
Her father, Canadian billionaire Edgar Bronfman, Sr., met her mother, Rita Webb, the daughter of an English pub owner from Essex, England, in Marbella, Spain.[1][2]Webb changed her first name to Georgiana and married Bronfman in 1975, two years after his divorce from his first wife, investment-banking heiress Ann Loeb.[3] Webb gave birth to Sara the following year, then Clare two and a half years later.[1]
Shortly after Clare's birth, Georgiana asked Edgar for a divorce. After Edgar married again in 1980, then was again divorced, the two sisters visited their father at his homes outside Charlottesville, Virginia; in Westchester County; at Sun Valley; and on Fifth Avenue in New York City, though their lives were centered in England and in Kenya, with their mother.[1][4]
Work in Libya[edit]
Sara Bronfman first became involved in aiding Libya after traveling as a delegate with the Independent Libya Foundation in November 2011, during the Arab Spring and after the death of Muammar Gaddafi. The delegation was headed by president and founder Basit Iglet (whom she would later marry) and consisted of multiple humanitarian experts, including Adam Hock and Joseph Hagin. They toured post-Gaddafi Libya and presented their "multi-phase re-integration program," which was accepted by the local authorities of Benghazi, who were appointed by the Libyan National Transitional Council.
She has been involved with the U.S.-Libya Chamber of Commerce since its founding in November 2011 with the purpose of developing viable economic links between American and Libyan enterprises. The chamber announced that Sara, who was then a member on the board, would be the new president after the conclusion of a vote conducted by the organizations board members on February 20, 2012. The announcement occurred after Adam Hock resigned as president and board member to pursue private ventures within the country. In a press release Sara stated "as I am able to devote my efforts to the development of the Chamber to support bilateral trade between Libya and the United States, it is a privilege to take on this significant role as the President of the US-Libya Chamber of Commerce."[5] In an interview with the National Journal, Bronfman stated that the situation in Libya provides an opportunity for the State Department to change their tactics, and "rather than enforcing our ways on them, we need to understand their ways, learn from them and discover which of our country’s many strengths we can (use to) best support them."[6]
Sara Bronfman is also involved with the Canada-Libya Chamber of Commerce, which was founded on March 12, 2012. Bronfman and husband Basit Igtet are the inaugural president and chairman of the board respectively. Positioned to provide help and advice to the people of Libya, the Chamber of Commerce discourage continued business with groups such as SNC-Lavalin, who allegedly did business with the Gadaffi regime.[7] The group is one of several working to restore the economy in the region.
Involvement in NXIVM[edit]
Main article:
NXIVM
At the age of 25, Sara was introduced to NXIVM by a family friend. NXIVM is a multi-level marketing organization founded by Keith Raniere that claims to help individuals achieve self-discovery, offering personal and professional development seminars, but is sometimes referred to as a cult. According to the family friend, Sara was "desperately looking for some purpose in her life. And she found it at NXIVM." " Sara has described herself, prior to discovering NXIVM, as “dilettantish.”[8] After her introduction to NXIVM, Sara urged Clare, then 23, to become involved. This time, Clare was passionately committed to her equestrian career—she was a competitive jumper, trained horses, and owned her own company, Slate River Farm, but was described as being "a bit withdrawn and certainly the type to stay in and read while everyone else goes out."[1][4] After attending the first sessions at the NXIVM branch in Monterrey, Mexico in 2004, Clare's trainer and classmates stated that Clare had changed and had become more open.
Sara and Clare became committed followers of NXIVM and of its leader, Keith Raniere, relocating to upstate New York to work as NXIVM trainers.[9]
“As Sara would later explain on her blog,” wrote Suzanna Andrews in a profile of the sisters for Vanity Fair, “she was 'in search of finding ways to bring peace to the world.' According to [a] family friend, who put it more prosaically, she was desperately looking for some purpose in her life. And she found it at NXIVM.”[10]
Sara began working with Raniere's company Executive Success Programs, Inc. (ESP) and its “proprietary technology” Rational Inquiry™, which had been created by Raniere.
According to one source, “She founded the company's VIP Programs, which provide distinguished individuals with special training and coaching. These programs[,] facilitated by the company's President Nancy Salzman, were responsible for launching ESP into the British and Irish markets in 2005.” Soon Sara Bronfman was on the Executive Board of ESP and had become ���Director of Humanities, Regional Vice President, Professional Coach and Head Trainer.”[11]
Non-Profit Work[edit]
Ethical humanitarian Foundation[
edit
]
Sara, along with her sister, Clare Bronfman, formed a non-profit organization called the Ethical Humanitarian Foundation after being "conceptualized" by Keith Raniere in 2007. She, Clare and Keith Raniere also established a non-profit organization called the World Ethical Foundations Consortium. Sara is listed as a Trustee of the organization.[12][13][13] The group claims that its goal is to move humanity "towards a more noble civilization" by adopting a "humanity first foundation".[14] As part of their involvement in WEFC, Sara and Clare were credited with being able to bring the Dalai Lama to Albany to participate in the WEFC's inaugural event on May 6, 2009.[4][15] Sara had long been eager to meet the Dalai Lama. “She wanted the Dalai Lama to be her friend,” wrote Maureen Tkacik in a New York Observer profile of the sisters. “She had been obsessed with him for two and a half years.”[8] “I was literally in my bedroom one day listening to his tapes and thought to myself, ‘Wow, this guy is amazing!’” Sara explained in a radio interview the day before the Tibetan spiritual leader arrived in Albany.[8]
Sara Bronfman has been described as being “determined to stay true to her philanthropic roots” and as being “[i]nspired by the humanitarian and philanthropic endeavors of her father and late Grandfather, Edgar M. Bronfman, and Samuel Bronfman, Ms. Bronfman has been seeking to pursue the family tradition in ways that will truly benefit humanity. She views her work with ESP as a way of further developing herself personally and professionally, and as a means by which to inspire people and families such as her own to invest both themselves and their resources ethically.”[11]
A Capella Innovations[
edit
]
Sara is a VIP Liaison with A Cappella Innovations, a non-profit organisation whose goal is to share the joy and enlightenment that comes from singing. The organisation hosted several events at the EGG performing arts center in Albany, New York, in 2008. These events included performances by Blake Lewis, Allison Mack, and Fork.
Special Olympics[
edit
]
In 2009, the Special Olympic games were held in Boise, Idaho, 85 nations were to be in attendance with over 3000 athletes competing in seven Olympic type sports. The event was to be attended by several dignitaries, including the Dalai Lama.[16]
On January 7, however, just a month before the games were set to begin, the Dalai Lama canceled under unclear circumstances. Two weeks later, on January 21, Sara Bronfman who had heard rumors that the invitation to the Dalai Lama had been withdrawn, wrote a letter to the Idaho Mountain Express, a local Blaine County newspaper, demanding that the Special Olympics board explain the cancellation. She stated that she would formally resign as an honorary board member of the Special Olympics if it turned out that the Dalai Lama had been dis-invited by no fault of his own. She would do so, she said "not as a stand against the Special Olympics, but rather as a stand for the values she hoped to uphold when she chose to support the organization".[17] While the media drew no formal conclusion, official statements were made by both the Special Olympics Organizing Committee, which claimed that the Dalai Lama had turned down their invitation, and the Office of Tibet, which claimed that the organizers tried to appease Chinese opposition by rescheduling his visit to a date on which it would be impossible for him to attend.[18]
Personal life[edit]
She is married to Libyan Muslim businessman Basit Igtet; they have one daughter.[19] She was also Lama Tenzin Dhonden's lover, the "Dalai Lama's gatekeeper," which came to light amidst a corruption scandal involving the latter's taking money for access to the Dalai Lama.[20]

The whitewashing of history is so insidious. White people are more concerned with absolving their ancestors of guilt than they are of dismantling the oppressive systems they built.
