Does the positive side of tribalism/racism outshine the negative side?

[Greatest I am]

That was the master insuring that the hungry did not kill him for food or force him to pay for more body guards.

I think theft is better than starving.

Then again, I have a criminal mind and delinquent attitude.

Would you slave yourself, if destitute where there were no safety nets, or would you turn to crime?

Why would they have to choose between slavery or starving?  They were the ones growing the food either way.  It was the slaver who had to choose between slaving and starving - opting for theft over death.

You opened man doors. I will step in this one.

To your first. That is all that was available unless they wanted to go criminal.

To your second. They were not growing anything unless they were already slaved to the land owner.

Your third is unintelligible to me. Slavers do not become their own slave.
