Even if I were Pharaoh's slave by law right this minute, anyone with any human decency ought to treat me with the same respect they show to others.

As it should be! I believe it was mulattogyrl who had the signature quoted by Shirley Chisolm (and others) which said, "Service to others is the rent you pay for the space you occupy on earth." Treating each other with respect is a main pillar of that service to others, IMHO.
