Your post was essentially a quote of an
article by James Bronson, who seems to
be an 18-year-old activist(?)

Bronson:
  Teacher implies we should feel bad about it.
  George, after listening to Clarence the 'angel,'
      says that teacher is a devil.

Is that it? There are millions of slaves, and you
can only list a handful of Jewish people involved
with slavery? Not too convincing.

I looked up a few of these names; they are not
generally specialists in Jewish history, and some
of the books date from the 30's. So you pick out
one or a few sentences of a book-- what's in the
other couple hundred pages of these books? For
all you know, you could be missing the whole
context of the information.

I've only heard a little about it, but my
understanding was that a Pharoah kept
what amounted to a harem, so it seems that
wives could have been brought from afar;
therefore,  it wouldn't be too surprising to me
if their coloring and the coloring of their
children differed slightly from the norm.

Also, I don't think we can judge by the
coloring of a goddess, which could be
fantastical.

You will find this article about Egyptian
hair interesting--
<http://www.homestead.com/wysinger/hair2.html>

Quote from the article:
As one scholar put it: "The most common hair colour,
then as now, was a very dark brown, almost black
colour although natural auburn and even rather
surprisingly blonde hair are also to be found."

Matt Ridley has a Doctorate in zoology from
University of Oxford in England, and I have seen
one reference to him as a libertarian, though I
don't know the details.

Because you say so? Implicit in all this
is that a high IQ is the only trait that makes a
person superior to others.

Oh, that sounds like a neutral source.

Well, as I said, I'd have to research more,
and I'm guessing that there have been
articles that express other viewpoints.
