A few observations:
-we are all descended from slaves in Egypt, so does that mean we should never have had a king or prophets amongst us?
-Obama`s ancestors were not of African-American stock (ie. formerly slaves), they were freemen from Africa. His mother was white American.
-if blacks were to be slaves why does the bible cast a positive light on the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon`s affair with her that most likely resulted in offspring?
-finally, if people always remain in the religion they were born into, how can Jews accept the many converts that they do (so many of them Russian)?
