Serious answer? They have to, because if they allow themselves to consider the alternative at this point, if they let themselves look directly at reality, things would turn very bloody very quickly.

What a laughable attempt at rewriting history. Before the Europeans ever arrived to America the Aztecs ritualistically ate and killed slaves left and right. Was that not more impersonal? The Middle East had more European slaves alone (they also has African and Asian slaves) than were ever in America, is that not greater in scope? Maybe one could argue the blindness to the future, but this ignores the fact that it was very popular in America that the slaves should be sent back to Africa, this is what lead to the formation of Liberia as we know it today. People knew what a fool's errand it was to try and assimilate Africans in the US after slavery, but they did it anyway precisely because of those venture capitalists you credit as being the perpetrators of slavery in the first place! You're comically wrong and propagandized about everything.
