I am reading some books on the "reconstruction" era of the South. They have the same arguments about how much happier freed slaves would be with someone to guide them because of the inferiority of their race. They even have the arguments about how much better off they would be to know their place in the next world too! Devious humans are so predictable when they try to run a number on other people, same raps, same scripts. And the same bullshit oppression wrapped up in the smiling assurance that it is all for "your own good" cuz those in power know best. >
