Madame is sadly ignorant of history. She missed the hundreds of slave rebellions that occurred in the US and the Caribbean before the ending of slavery. I seem to recall in the book '1493' they detailed some smaller plots by slaves to murder the slaveowner and his family, but I'd have to look it up.

Anyway, justified fears of slave uprisings were a fact of life for slaveowners back then (probably everywhere else too, but I'm not that up on the history).

Mystal's theoretical females would have found themselves in legal trouble had they pulled off a revenge killing or effing up, at the time or later. At the time might classify it as a crime of passion, but a week later it becomes premeditated.

But all this aside, she does cling to her victimhood like a security blanket, ignoring how much her own ancestors might have been slave owners, and I'm excluding the white ones who raped her ancestors. It's always whitey's fault, rather the way some feminists forever blame 'the patriarchy'.

As I learned in Al-Anon years ago, "You explore the reasons why you're mad at your alcoholic parent, relative, partner etc., but how much are you going to let it control your life? You can't move forward until you put it behind you."

Which is only one of many reasons why slave reparations are a supremely stupid idea. Or to Indigenous, to women, whoever. At some point the buck stops at the mirror.
