"Well, I was wrong about slavery being a taboo subject. We learn today from the dissident Saudi Information Agency that a prominent Saudi religious authority recently called for slavery to be re-legalized in the kingdom. Ali Al-Ahmed reports on the views of Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan, the author of a religious textbook (At-Tawhid, 'Monotheism') widely used to teach Saudi high school students as well as their counterparts abroad studying in Saudi schools (including those in the West).
"'Slavery is a part of Islam,' he announced in a recent lecture. 'Slavery is part of jihad, and jihad will remain as long there is Islam.' He argued against the idea that slavery had ever been abolished, insulting those who espouse this view as 'ignorant, not scholars. They are merely writers. Whoever says such things is an infidel.'"

Booker T. Washington said:
"There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs....There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."
