1. How would you

3. How does that relate to
Question #1?
“The slave traders, they knew that these were human
beings, because they were obviously, clearly human
beings. At the same time, they were objects of profit.

And the shocking thing is that human beings are able
to suppress their views on humanity for the sake of
making profits.”
