6. It's still a very euphamistic description that really doesn't belong on

a progressive site or in history books. We all know that not all slave owners beat and chained their slaves, but it is only in recent history that one sees people euphamistically describing slaves as "being treated like members of the family." Truth be told, they were property and might have been cared for more like a Cadillac than a rusted old truck, but it is DANGEROUS and irresponsible for people to describe it in such euphamistic terms...just some food for thought.
