I don't think they are saying it for any sort of ableist reason, they are just making fun of Discourse. For example, you sometimes see radlibs say "actually some disabled people had no choice but to keep slaves" and things like that. The point is to make fun of tokenizing lib idpol rhetoric.
At least, I'm pretty sure . . .
Sadly, I think this in reference to the recent BAFTA incident.
Even if it is, you are giving pretty uncharitable reading... Your post reads more like defending disabled people owning slaves than any abelism from RGB(which I don't think is your point). Given how much defense of gig industries I have seen on the basis of "helping the disabled" I wouldn't be surprised if there is some discourse that is unironic in "well they needed slaves".
Also I have seen tons of discourse on "disability isn't an excuse for racism and general assholery they are just racists assholes" (including on hexbear)
