Did Herodotus educate you on white slavery in Greece too! ...as in the slaves were actually white! Indian slavery and slavers, Chinese slavery and slavers, Arabic slavers - that African slaves were rounded up by other black people before being tied and taken and sold on the coast to the highest bidding ships - who were invariably white! but, once Arabic -- it is a hornet's nest MyNativeFriend -- and without the West, tribes would have continued killing each other in petty warfare ...can I say that? The powerful always subjugate the weak -- no matter what color their skin! And this will continue, as the other side of the coin is a modern world -- I really want to live in a modern world!
