Paragraph on "Origins" needs a cleanup

Especially last two sentences. Is "reputed" actually the concept that the writer of the article meant? Perhaps "known for piracy" would be better? I hesitate to make the change, not knowing either the original author's intent or the history well enough to correct anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FurnaldHall (talk • contribs) 02:00, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WTF?

What is this racism on wikipedia? Everyone knows that whites were NEVER slaves! This article needs to be deleted!2601:806:4301:C100:5D7F:9053:2B22:55B (talk) 21:45, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources say otherwise. If you think "whites" were somehow exempt, please cite your sources for that claim. "Everyone knows" isn't a valid argument. Kleuske (talk) 09:58, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Someone seems unable to recognize sarcasm... Just another "white oppression" conspiracy theorist type who thinks slave trades involving whites are deliberately covered up by some nebulous "white genocide agenda". The article is fine, nobody thinks it's "racist".

See Wikipedia:Sarcasm is really helpful. If you have sources to back that claim, please present them. Otherwise, please remember Wikipedia is not a forum. Thanks. Kleuske (talk) 10:40, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He doesn't have sources to back up his claim because he is not sincerely making the claim that "whites were NEVER slaves". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.189.184 (talk) 20:35, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Whites were never slaves. Only blacks. This article is racist and takes away from the seriousness of slavery!2601:806:4301:C100:935:8444:468D:CC39 (talk) 22:25, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody is saying this article is racist, nobody is trying to cover up the Barbary Slave Trade, stop pretending to be oppressed. If you have any useful information to contribute to this article by all means provide some credible sources and help develop it. If you're just here to cry about conspiracy theories you are not contributing information that will help develop this article.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.48.174 (talk) 15:15, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Blacks weren't only slaves. You clearly don't know shit about history if you think blacks were the only group of people enslaved. Yellowgirl44x44 (talk) 21:26, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Undercurrent of Offence

It's also somewhat present in almost all pages on slavery. However, Wikipedia should be objective.207.161.196.71 (talk) 01:17, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any specific complaints about the article (or other articles), or are you being offended in general? Kleuske (talk) 12:27, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please point out specific paragraphs you feel are subjective so they can be reviewed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.48.174 (talk) 15:17, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hypocrisy

Blue-eyed blondes have always been enslaved by the Mediterranean, this only stopped in the 5th century during the period of barbarian invasions. Anyway it is Whites enslaving Whites no matter if they are Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Ottomans, Berbers etc. Also, many of those slaves were captured and sold by the Germans themselves — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sorberino (talk • contribs) 01:12, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
