Aristotle

Aristotle accepted slavery as a condition and justified it. This quote was used, by Jonah Goldberg in his book The Suicide of the West, as an illustration of how far we have come in our thinking about equality and away from the idea that it is acceptable to treat the other badly. If you want I can find some bible quotes that justify slavery. That slavery is evil is a relatively new concept.
