Urangatang, I am going to say what I mean and then drop it. You obviously have a lot invested in this.

The thing of it is that as long as there is one group who is dominant over the other a lot of unhealthy things surface for both groups. Just like Nietzsche argues in his master slave morality. It is also true that any master is a slave to the slaves as well, seeing as it requires certain acts to keep them in check.

So, the only thing that can work is equality, because that way one can simply 'exist' instead of being forced into certain acts; even if the slavery or mastery is accepted willingly. Trying to ask for forgiveness cannot have a positive effect on any matter because the blanace (equality) is disrupted by it. All one can do is learn from past mistakes, accept, and forgive. That way one can experience that equality (balance) within oneself. From there at least one disrupting factor (and thereby one enslaving factor) is eliminated from the equation.

I'll leave it at this.
