[Ads-l] Enslavement of Native Americans [was: wench

[Z Rice]

Mr. Goncharoff wrote the following: "I just can't take seriously someone
who states categorically that the Master Race did not CONSIDER THEMSELVES
masters..."

My earlier quote: "When WE speak of Germany, it is not often that WE refer
to Jews as being "owned" or as "slaves". They remain "Jewish", are
overwhelmingly referred to as "Jews" in OUR history books, etc, and this
implicitly acknowledges their humanity. And it darn sure isn't often that
we hear Germans or Nazis (or whatever) REFERRED TO AS their "owners" or
"masters".

Reading (and comprehension) is fundamental.

As I said earlier, my addressing this sort of topic here is useless.
