agreed, two tough topics. entwined together but not directly related, i don’t think.

it appears, currently, one is used to create the other. racism is the belief a race is superior than another. this mentality allows for the enslavement and dehumanizing of a human being.
forgive my ignorance, but is the meme implying both are still prevalent but only one recognized as such? I’m just seeing different ways to interpret the message. again, forgive my ignorance.

Read in researching slavery briefly:

slave:an ant captured in its pupal state by an ant of another species, for which it becomes a worker.
