RE: Kurt Vonnegut

Breakfast of Champions had a controversial satire of the US that came after the white sea pirates used black people in place of machines.

I’m using the censored version from one review:

“Actually, the sea pirates who had the most to do with the creation of the new government owned human slaves. They used human beings for machinery, and even after slavery was eliminated, because it was so embarrassing, they and their descendants continued to think of ordinary human beings as machines.”

“Nobody white had much use for them anymore – except for the gangsters who sold them used cars and dope and furniture. Still, they went on reproducing.....and a lot of them had very bad dispositions.”
