A serious point that should be considered, because it puts in perspective just how sociopathic is the Left’s attempt to stir up hatred between the races today, is that the very evolution of the terminology of “slave” from “bondsman,” “fief” or what have you, reflects the enslavement of eastern European slavs, by other Whites.

Much of the thousands of years old process of seizing people for involuntary servitude, has involved people of the same race--both as slave & master.

St. Patrick was kidnapped and enslaved by pirates. Human bondage, involuntary servitude, slavery, there have been many forms. A fair number of the people populating the colonies were in servitude. Most voluntarily indentured to pay their way, to pay for their “transport.” Others were not voluntary, petty criminals, politically inconvenient individuals. We have such a blinkered view of history now, it’s impossible to get some people to grasp that how things are now, is not at all how they’ve always been. Being bound in all it’s forms was an accepted legal status of some human beings and always had been, that was just how it was. Was it “good?” Well, if the choice was slaughter or enslavement after losing a war, most thought surviving was superior and it was regarded as the humane choice.
