3. Hmmm. Moses? Pharoh? Too early?
I need some coffee myself, but sometimes thoughts just pop into place.

4. You're citing a Biblical myth as if it were a fact.
The Jews were never slaves in Egypt. Never. There's no proof for it, not in the archaeology, and not in the copiously kept records of the Egyptians. The only 'record" of the Jews being slaves in Egypt is in the mythical Bible, which presents a ancient mouse-that-roared story for the Jews to rally around. All the evidence shows that the pyramids etc were built by Egyptians for Egyptians.

In fact, it's a bit racist to suggest that the Egyptians were these evil slave lords.

5. Really? So you maintain that any corporation that hires an H1b employee is a slave holder?
I never said anything about slaves, that would be you.

So, call yourself racist for suggesting that the Egyptians were evil slave lords, if you want.
