> The fact that simply by virtue of the state of being white, they were immune to being enslaved within a culture of slavery White people were slaves, too. Both in the Americas and elsewhere. In many places, they were treated more harshly and considered less valuable than African slaves. http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-irish-slave-trade-the-forgotten-white-slaves/31076 http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-irish-slave-trade-the-forgo... >If you can get a cab If you're poor, you aren't going to be taking a cab no matter what color your skin is. >Muslims didn't get to...thousands of times in thousands of contexts over hundreds of years...get the economic boost that comes from a large proportion of the population existing to serve. "During the 8th and 9th centuries of the Fatimid Caliphate, most of the slaves were Europeans (called Saqaliba) captured along European coasts and during wars.[2] Historians estimate that between 650 and 1900, 10 to 18 million peoples were enslaved by Arab slave traders and taken from Africa across the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Sahara desert.[3] Unlike the trans-Atlantic slave trade to the New World, Arabs supplied African slaves to the Arab world, which at its peak stretched over three continents from the Atlantic to the Far East." If you want to condemn white people for slavery, you're going to have to condemn everyone else for it, too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_slave_trade http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_slave_trade
