Imagine you lived as a Southerner in mid-1800s America. Would you be opposed to slavery or would you support it?

Keep in mind that it is the cultural norm of the time. Speaking out against it would probably have people resent you as much as people resent vegans these days.

Do you put your image on the line by defending the the voiceless, or do you just go along with the status quo because everyone else is fine with it?

If I were white I'd know that I wouldn't want to be a slave, nor would I want that for any of my loved ones. But it would depend whether or not I had been raised to accept the racist beliefs of the majority, that whites were superior and deserved to subjugate all people of color.
