He was a fictional character, imagined by a northern white woman.

Not blaming the victim. Blaming the slave system.

I don't see myself doing much different to survive in that system.

The points to remember are that 

1) not all slaves went the subservient route.  And it's their behavior we ought to admire.

2) Once slaves were freed, is is not clear at all that passivity and subservience required for 
survival as slaves were useful behaviors in preserving and maintaining that freedom. 
Hence my reference to debates in the Black community post-Civil War. (e.g., B.T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois.)
