    May as well asked who the slave owners sold to since so many in the South were enslaved.

    The answer is the same. They sell to each other. We don’t get a cut. They dream of the day they actually get to have slaves again. Most of them don’t see us as people; they see us as things that siphon off money that needs to be in their pockets. Money we don’t deserve because we’re not rich.

      Hell, they would be even happier to ignore the ‘rabble’ altogether. You at least had to keep the slaves vaguely alive.

      There’s a reason Larry Ellison said "“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on”, they want to contain the “unwanted” and keep them from being a risk while excluding them from the ‘economy’ to the extent feasible
