The notion that slavery had good benefits for the enslaved people (gave them skills?) implies that the enslaved people who were kidnapped from their country of origin, or produced from rape of those same people, or from being trafficked after being stolen from their parents, were in fact ‘feral’ by nature and thus, were being ‘educated’ by White Masters.
