Regarding first paragraph of yours you had the chance to answer no but you did not. That is alright though.
You explained again the lineage in terms of allowing her RA to not marry the sahabi RA. I will repeat, if she had not protested, she would have been married to the sahabi RA. Allowing her not not marry the sahabi and marrying himself (the prophet SAW) still does not mean the lineage was the reason.
Herself RA and the prophet SAW were from different lineage.
And again: Syed and non-syed as not an issue there and does not apply to the example.
I do not think ANY argument will or can bring lineage as the reason for the prophet SAW to marry her RA and her not accepting the sahabi RA taken as ISlam condones the lineage as a valid reason to marry or not marry someone.
You touched very good point when you talked about the slavery.
Not strongly talking against slavery or preferring to make slaves free is a different issue. Will be glad to discuss at any time. Slavery is not lineage though. I am sure you know it.
Fortunately the slavery in the sense it was present centuries ago is abolished.
(Mark my words: ‘in the sense it as present’ )
However, this silly tradition of lineage still lingers on throughout the nations and religions around the world.
**Absolutely no benefit to mankind and impossible to think islam ever will try to promote it! **
I will still say: Islam does not in any way condone lineage to be considered a factor when one person decides to marry other.
P.S. Always a pleasure to discuss with you. Will be glad to change my point of view anytime when you bring stronger argument or position than mine…No one is perfect,

There is no get out clause for Sayyids or non-Sayyids. We all need to be God-Fearing and strive towards piety. At least we agree on this. I have no desire to argue … I’m just a lowly servant …
