An individuals brain is pretty much incapable of not deciding what's moral at least to some degree.  

Children have been fucked, people killed and slaves taken in the name of god too, people deciding what's moral with god added doesn't necessarily equal progression with moral attitudes.

Like I said, hit dogs, holler...

Seeing how I'm a descendant of slaves it's hardly likely that I'd own slaves, not to mention there was this whole abolitionist movement, so not everyone was as morally bankrupt as you're implying.

There's no likelyhood of you owning slaves, it's a hypothetical impossible situation.

Within the situation I already presented the parameters. You are part of a rich white family who made money from slaves.

It could be a different situation. It could be that I'm middle eastern in ancient times and raised as a Muslim believing I can have wives from my female captives.

I'm imagining the situation, there's no likelyhood of the time travel and Islamic conquest.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
