Dear Mr. Fitzhugh,
The so-called “White Slave Trade” that you
created to define white labour is a fallacy. White labour created by capitalism
is unfair and cruel, and it is also unjust for white rich people to collect the
fruits of poor white workers who support the rest. However, never, under any circumstances, can
this be compared to black slavery given that labourers receive pay, and they
have certain work hours. The workers are free to do what they want at any time,
and can have what they want at any time. They are not controlled or commanded
by a superior, nor are they ever punished by they’re bosses arbitrarily.
You claim that your slavery is humane and
kind, and that you tend to your slaves while securing their freedom. Yet, if a
slave flees from your property, they are punished severely. Furthermore, slaves
are fearful of exercising their freedom of speech due to the master’s not
allowing them to speak poorly of him. I even doubt that they have a choice or
say in what they eat, what they wear, and where they sleep (which,
incidentally, are the only things given to them, amongst physical abuse).
Mr. Fitzhugh, your argument is so weak,
that you do not defend black slavery, but rather attack “white slavery,” which
you invented based on a false analogy. If you so strongly believe that your slavery
is better than white labour, then why don’t you permit your slaves to state
their honest opinion on the matter?
Thank you for your time,
Jose Suarez
