      I haven't read the piece. Glanced through it and decided I didn't want to read earnest literary take on owning slaves.

      lots of people I respect have liked it...but it really didn't look like something I wanted to read.

      I did not take it as a "let's humanize slavers" story. I took it as a very human story where people can't figure out the right thing to do.

      is it that hard to figure out the right thing to do though? "Don't own slaves" seems pretty straightforward...

      The author, though, never took her in as a slave. His complicity is much more of a complex issue, I think.

      He was born into the situation and didn't become aware of the nature of it until adolescence

      I know "Growing up into slaveowning as an institution is complicated" is a common take but well it is complicated

      Which is obscured by the fact that we're born into lives where we can fairly easily declare ourselves not complicit

      "Don't own slaves" sounds straightforward, "Call the FBI on your mom at the age of 15 and get your nanny deported" isn't simple at all
