The answer to this is simple:
Slavery is not ok.
Those who believe otherwise should heed the words of Theodore Weld:
".. slavery is a curse. Whoever denies this, his lips libel his heart. Try him: clank the chains in his ears, and tell him they are for him. Give him an hour to prepare his wife and children for a life of slavery. Bid him make haste and get ready their necks for the yoke, and their wrists for the coffle chains, then look at his pale lips and trembling knees, and you have nature's testimony against slavery."
Being stronger than another does not make you better.
Being smarter does not make you superior.
Having more coin in your pouch than another does not give you the right to take advantage of the one who has less.
One who sees him/her/itself as better than others and yields to the temptation of taking advantage of them, is actually the loser. That one is truly the weaker, has the personal deficiency, and demonstrates moral turpitude.
There is a saying: “The one who dies with the most friends wins.�
