Thoughts (of POLITICAL SCIENCE GRADUATE) on slavery: visit to Goree Isalnd

(Assignment: write our thoughts on slavery-anything in parenthesis is to create context)
I had asked Dr. Sy(our guide) how he felt about the Chinese being in Senegal and what that would mean
He replied that they were here for business and that at the end of the day
There was still corruption in Le Government Senegalé
We came to the conclusion that authority was the issue
(I later realized)
Authority can only be so if it is legitimized and supported 
How can a small few control the masses if not by control of the resources?
(what we should all realize)
We are the laborers with the harvesting capacity
1st contact
We can only allow some to control the resources if they control humanity
US
We are the most powerful, competent, and capable resource available
That is slavery
(how is this possible you ask?)
Greed is the root of all evil, the desire to possess more than the basic necessities for a comfortable life
We are willing to kill, cheat, and lie
Just so that we can get by
And look better then the next fly guy
Some may say that i sound like a communist
But how can that be
When all I speak to is equality?
