To breed human slaves is practically a moral imperative
No it isn't. Slavery resulted in a lower birth rate, especially when talking about the American version. Enslaving humans is immoral, enslaving pigs isn't, human lives are more valuable, if you want to make the idiotic argument that pigs lives are just as valuable as humans, the holes in that logic are your own, I don't subscribe to that view.
Again, I made no such equivalence between humans and pigs, quite the opposite. The principle of your argument, whether pigs are 1/1000 as valuable humans or not, is that the entities being bred benefit from being bred, and since black slaves only existed by being bred as slaves, because they got bred when they wouldn't have otherwise, slavery was actually in their interests, by the principle of your argument. Nevermind lower birthrates for the whites, that would just mean slavery hurt the whites and was good for the blacks, by your logic.
