Of course slavery is evil, and it matters not a whit who is enslaving who.
I'd have to be a pretty selfish and stupid person to see it any other way, and I am not that sort.
Our COMMON enemy: Those who rationalize such obvious and inhuman evil, and make faith-based apologies for slavery as part of some natural order.
But that IS, after all, the sort we are now struggling with once again.
NO ONE should own slaves. NO ONE should BE a slave. EVER.
End of story.

Or is it?
