-Caveat Lector-
I think the pendulum of talk about slavery swings to easily back and forth between
black and non-black races. It would be better perhaps to focus on the institution
itself, whereas it is the exploitation of people and the denial of human rights and
values. Who is being enslaved is secondary to the issue of slavery and arguing over
the extent of black (African) slavery as compared to other races is counterproductive
to the essential inhumanity of the act, no matter the races involved.

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
