Well said. But the slaveowners didn't use success/failure, per se, to explain how they were the slaveowners and not the slaves. They used white supremacism to argue that other human beings were inferior from birth and naturally suited to slavery. And we are still dealing with the aftereffects of those rationalizations and lies...like denying that systemic racism existed.
