I don’t concur with ADOS, for the simple fact that no other culture describes themselves as descendants of slavery. It’s not a true identity. Slavery is a tool and a byproduct of war. When people are captured or conquered, they are basically war captives, and are either killed, enslaved or traded to be enslaved.

And every culture on earth has been through slavery, some cultures longer then others.

During the Shang dynasty, 5 percent of China was enslaved. That was for like 500 years. The Arabian slave trade existed for 7 centuries. There was a Native American slave trade. Incas, Myans, Aztecs all had slaves. Aztecs used their slaves for human sacrifice. And we all know about the Holocaust

All of those forms of slavery were unique in their on way, but slavery is slavery. However, descendants of those cultures are not identifying themselves as descendants of those slaveries. That is a dark history, that degraded their true existence. They recognized it and got compensation or reparations for it, but they didn’t and don’t identify themselves as such.
