Omoro Kinte
Quote 4
"You must know what [...] I saw happening to those who had been stolen. It is the difference between slaves among ourselves and those whom toubob takes away to be slaves for him." (16.49)
Omoro has witnessed the reality of the slave trade firsthand, and what he sees horrifies him. This isn't indentured servitude or the imprisonment of criminals—it's a borderline industrial system of mass incarceration. Slavery's inhumane in any context, but the suffering Omoro witnesses is enough to convince him of the toubob's unique evil.
