There is nothing about being a person or being human that exempts us from being assigned as property, or traded as property.

So if there is nothing spectacular about humans, than what gives other humans the ability to make unfounded claims of superiority, force you against your will into unpaid labour, and treat you like shit? Surely if our lack of spectacular qualities goes one way, that it goes the other. If you were kidnapped from your tribe and sent on a boat accross the ocean to another continent where you'd live out your life the property of a chaughvanistic racist who thinks you're beneath him because of the color of your skin, wouldn't you use the same argument of us being nothing special to justify why he doesn't own you?
