Yes, slavery is a business practice, common throughout history, where people are harmed and a profit is made.
It disproves your flawed theory that you cannot make a profit by harming people.
People were harmed, and a profit was made. In the long term, regardless of the outcome, those people were still harmed - you can't undo the harm.
Harming people is profitable. It always has been, and it always will be. That is an easily demonstrated reality.
Let's just go ahead and look at all of recorded history.

I have no problem reading all of recorded history, because it proves me to be correct. It proves that there is no long term profitibility in doing business unethically. It wasn't profitable for the South, it wasn't profitable for Enron, It wasn't profitable for MCI, and the list goes on and on.
They all went down in flames, because the public became aware of their dishonesty as always happens.
Also, I didn't say you can't make a profit by harming people. I said there is no LONG TERM profit in doing business unethically, which is a fact.
