An article entitled "CNN: Slavery still thrives in Mauritania"

In the North West African nation of Mauritania, between 10% to 20% of the entire population is a slave. Like the rest of Africa, slaves live in horrific conditions.

When you think about it, what could you use black slaves for nowadays? Isn't the idea to have the slave do work? What possible work could our blacks do to make it profitable enough to enslave them?

Excellent point! People who need affirmative action to get hire for anything don't have much real value in the workforce. There were allegations that by the 1860's even well over a majority of black slaves were not field slaves and hired Whites were being used in the field while the black slaves would be used as house slave and even rented out to railroads for more money than free Whites were paid and did less work then the Whites. I believe it was Rowan Hinton Helper, recalling the name from memory so it maybe a little off, that wrote a book documenting how little work blacks slaves were doing in the 1850's and how much Whites were doing. Basically, he argued that blacks were being used as a prestige symbol while poor Whites did the hard dangerous work. A lot of work that blacks claimed black slaves did was likely done by Whites both free and enslaved while black slaves handed their master a cool drink. An article entitled "Slavery: Its Morality, History, and Implications for Race Relations in America, Part 1" http://faithandheritage.com/2012/04...cations-for-race-relations-in-america-part-1/ The immorality of nonwhite slavery in White lands was/is bring nonwhites into White lands!

An article entitled "The slaves that time forgot"

Unlike the African slaves, this chapter in the history of their people does not define the Irish. Nor would they want it to. And they were hardly the only Europeans forced into slavery. The purpose of this post is to point out what the establishment has obviously forgotten or conveniently overlooks.

When people hear the word slavery they think of rich white slave masters and black slaves. This certainly happened for a short period in time but slavery has been around for thousands of years and has affected people of all skin colors.

You don't get much whiter then your average Irish person, yet they were enslaved by the Icelandic landowners during the colonization of that island. Read the Icelandic sagas if you need proof. They are freely available online.

Icelandic people have actually been harder hit by slavery then anyone else in the world. In one day in 1682 alone 242 of them were captured and enslaved by north africans.
One of them "Guðríður Símonardóttir (1598 –1682) was one of 242 Icelanders, who were abducted from the Westman Islands in 1627 by Barbary pirates.
She was the wife of a fisherman, and a mother.
After her abduction she was sold into an Algerian seraglio, where she remained for ten years, until she could be ransomed together with a few others at the instigation of King Christian IV. of Denmark".
Slavery is not a black white issue. It is the powerful taking advantage of the weak. (Iceland and much of northern Europe was weaker in 1682 due to the mini ice age still being experienced at that time.)
