I think this isn't really the way it was intended, but that is the better option since being made a slaver gives you a better chance to free slaves (by immediately stopping being a slaver) rather than being a slave, where you'd be lucky to even free yourself. These fuckers surely just mean that you carry out the "duty" of whatever position you are placed in, though.

If the hypothetical was “you are suddenly transported back to chattel slavery times in the US as a slave. What do you do?” Most of these ghouls would say “I would try to kill my owner” no matter how ridiculous their hypothetical plan is
But if you say “you are suddenly transported back as a slave owner. What do you do?” Then suddenly it’s all about civility and their creativity about rebellion is nonexistent. They don’t think they have a duty to fit the role because they would likely choose rebellion as a slave. They’re simply lazy and racist.
