Nature's Laws

Is "race-based" slavery wrong because the bible says so, or did the bible just get that one right?

I'll leave it to those who care what the bible says to pick apart whether the bible indeed says that.  I've certainly heard the bit about the slavery mentioned in the bible being of a non-raced based variety, and therefore acceptable.  Of course most people who don't rely on authoritative sources for their moral thinking would strongly question whether any variety of slavery is okay.  But if that is what our new member has in mind, I'd like to know where he thinks the bible calls out race-based slavery, or, where it specifies the characteristics which render some varieties of slavery blessed in the eyes of the god thingy.

Oh and welcome, you've been busy today.

Pretty sure everyone during biblical days more or less looked the same except for the Romans so...hmm... anyone was free reign to make a slave.
Race based slavery was really much invented because people's ignorance saw people were darker skin were animals and free labor and also sub human.
