Enslavement of Blacks. . .the worse? Options

[hotsoup]

The issue of why African Americans/Blacks seem to think that the enslavement of their ancestors was so much more horrible than the enslavement of other people has come up many a time in discussions centered on race and ethnicity. So, I figured I'd just go ahead and start a discussion on the subject. Hopefully, one doesn't already exist.

So, my opinion.

I actually wrote a paper on this very subject last year for a history class I was taking at college. While I argued from an economical stand point in my paper, I think I'll go with the skin color issue here.

Every time I gain some new knowledge, my opinion seems to change, but I believe that the main reason the enslavement of Blacks is considered to be such a heinous crime and held above similar crimes is because it was based almost solely on skin color and the complete domination of an entire race thought to be some how deviant or against God in nature. I'll try to elaborate more on my stance once a discussion picks up.

You don't have to compare the Holocaust to African slavery, you can compare the entire Jewish history to it. Jewish people were enslaved everywhere they went, so take your pick. Which period was most similar?

The part with the Egyptians. They did a much better job than Brown people did. I never saw any Brown people build pyramids. If the Egyptians only made Jewish people pick cotton, they probably would have wanted to be slaves. Brown people had it easy. We didn't make them build 150+ foot tall triangles with 4 story bricks.

Seriously... For those of you browns who still think you feel the whip, you need to stop your bitchin.
