21:31 you wonder what the purpose is to saying “enslaved” instead of “slave”. I don’t particularly care, but to me it seems pretty clear. When I say; “Slave” that person’s identity is them being a slave, vs “Enslaved” their identity is not that of a slave but of a person that is being enslaved. Subtle difference but the latter can be seen as affirming a more positive/respectful(?) identity. I suppose it’s all about connotation and nuance. We do love nuance @ uni

I didn’t feel like that was how they framed it, only halfway though so maybe it will change?

@agnes1250 no that implies you don’t understand what I just said, I'm not going to repeat myself so maybe just read it again, slowly and out loud. If you do, try to explain why you think that is because while doing so I think you'll realize...
