A 2-Minute Hate

The slave trade.


We get caught up in the ideology, sometimes to the point where some of us can't quite figure out that hating slavery isn't supposed to translate to hating the slaves for having been enslaved.

I'm left with the sense that we're indulging ourselves in a little Blame-The-Victim exercise as we try to resolve our internal dissonance.

Anger turned inward is depression, and that feels bad.

Anger turned outward is aggression, and that feels better.
