Just give every kid, regardless of color, a generic, meticulous, backbreaking, and mindnumbing task and have them do it for a few minutes. Tell them they need to complete x units in y time. Have a stopwatch handy.

The task can be anything. Bending over, reaching down, and assembling Lego into certain configurations. Bending over, reaching down, and crafting pieces of paper on the floor into specific shapes which mustl be put into a bucket.

Let the students know how they did on the exercise. Let them also know that, historically, they would have been whipped, beaten, or otherwise punished severely if they didn't complete x units in y time.That's what slavery, in any form, is all about.

On edit: I see now that you were being facetious. My apologies.
