So then, what will you refer to them as? Possessor?

And the ‘fidiocy’ continues unabated. So, boss is out. Overseer is out. How about check signer?

Eliminating the word owner brings us one step closer to communal ownership.

If you have power, and decline to use it, others will take that power away from you in various subtle ways.
If they were The Owners, there would be no hesitation using that description. It’s a big accomplishment. Be proud of it.

So Lebron is no longer part owner of Blaze pizza?

The NBA is racist because the majority of the players are black. They need more white players.
Also, the problem with the word “owner” has nothing to do with race or slavery, really. The issue is that after the Communist Revolution and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat is fully in place, no one will own anything. Not so much as the clothes on your back or the food in your refrigerator. So, we need to stop talking about “owners” today in all contexts.

Oh, for Pete’s sake. How many times have you heard Player reps themselves refer to “owners”, especially in union negotiations especially when typically common terms are labor and management?

The best paid slaves I’ve ever heard of right there. Does the trainer or assistant coach do the flogging?

Whatever word they use it still means the same thing.

So, if no one “owned” the slaves of 5 generations ago - what is all the b!tching about?
Can we still own a house or car ... until they take those away from as being too privileged.
