ORIGINAL: Termyn8or Yes they do though they probably shouldn't. Jews were instrumental in the slave trade, even before this country was founded. In a bunch of other countries as well, if you wanted slave they were the people to call. One Pope is known to bitch about them circumcising Christian slaves. Now mind you what this means, is that it was so long ago the Vatican condoned slavery. They have always been in the business and actually still are. Actually the entire slave trade out of Africa was run by Islam. Jewish involvement in the slave trade was present but minimal and the Jews had a series of laws regarding the treatment of slaves. In contrast, the Arabs ran a profitable line in eunuchs - they'd completely remove the scrotum and penis of black boys between 8 and 12. Of course, 60% of them bled to death during the procedure, but there were plenty of them around, so nobody gave a shit. The Islamic slave trade murdered between 80 and 125 million people. So let's not get all self-rightous about the Jews and slavery. Particularly since out of the 11,000 Southerners who owned slaves, only 4 were run by Jews. The rest were good ol' boys who never forgave the north for taking away their God-given right to keep, murder and rape their slaves.
