I know what youre saying but hes saying 'would you rather be dead or be sold?' as though they should be compared. I think his point is that the holocaust has been apologised for and acknowledged as an atrocity while slavery has yet to see the same widescale reparations; but the phrasing seems like prince is trying to imply which atrocity was worst. Personally, I dont really think they should be compared.
