Dear Whoopie,
Slavery was not about race. It was about man's inhumanity towards man.



I'll state right up front that I don't think Whoopie is racist towards Jews.
But her statement was downright ignorant when she said the holocaust was not about race, it was about man's inhumanity to man.
Then again, she says a lot of ignorant things; so why fuss at her about her ignorant celebrity opinion now?

Ben ties it in with recent news about the ADL

Decades of democrat dishonesty for political gain, slandering non-democrats as racists have resulted in a mass delusion among leftists that racism is strictly a matter of whites hating blacks. To modern deluded leftists, blacks hating whites is acceptable and to be accepted due to their delusion that whites have mistreated blacks for hundreds of years and are still mistreating blacks.

To God, anyone hating anyone is of the devil.

Slavery before it existed in the United States was not exactly about race, since stronger African tribes had long enslaved weaker ones and sold them to the Europeans as slaves, or kept them as their own slaves. Europeans did not start the African slave industry -- they just bought into a market that already existed.

Also, there were black slave owners at various times in early U.S. history.

So yeah, in that sense it wasn't about race.

Modern blacks are as far removed from slavery as modern Christians are from when they were slaves.

1 Corinthians 7

20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

Your point is well taken but don't forget the African Christians bought by Muslims, present day. Now.

It has been estimated that as much as 75% of all humans who ever lived were under bondage as slaves at some point in their lives. There are more humans in slavery today around the world than at any other time in human history. Thank God Christian influence prevailed in America to end the practice more than 150 years ago.


An estimated 40.3 million men, women, and children were victims of modern slavery on any given day in 2016.1 Of these, 24.9 million people were in forced labour and 15.4 million people were living in a forced marriage. Women and girls are vastly over-represented, making up 71 percent of victims. Modern slavery is most prevalent in Africa, followed by the Asia and the Pacific region.
