DZAG, I meant exactly what I said. These people have HAD leaders and have had governments and more of them are educated then you might think. But as soon as there are no laws they resort back to committing inhuman attrocities. The US doesnt send in troops because:
1. Everytime we or other countrys have we/they suffer substantial losses
2. This is a recurring issue, this happens with every regime change, every election, every coups.
How do you stop such a thing? I have no answer for that.

There is no such thing as an honest dictator and that is the problem, the UN claims they will prosecute war rapers but that doesnt seem to be much of a deterrent. They couldnt control the raping in Haiti either. It is sad that the strong must pray upon the weak when they are the weakest. This is however something we havent seen in Japan in the aftermath of their quake and tsunami. I am at a loss of how to explain this but it needs to be researched, not to accuse but for future prevention.

Whites and Muslims buying slaves
Africans selling Africans into slavery
pretty sad
Not Whites, but jews. The African slave trade for America was wholly owned by Jews. They employed a few Whites as ship captains and deck hands.
Africans sold slaves that they had kidnapped from other African tribe's to the white people.
White people bought the african slave's off africans.
White man only cashed in on the africans greed. Its as sick and as simple as that.

You must keep in mind that slavery to Afrikans was totally different than what America turned it into. Many Afrikans actually believed the slaves would be returned to their land after a period of servitude.
Yes slavery was a part of Afrika as most places, but it wasn't chattel slavery. Being a slave in Afrika and many other places wasn't half as bad as over here. A slave in places such as Afrika for a comparison was basically a servant, nanny, groundskeeper, helper, etc. Not a animal that you whipped and deemed less than human.
So compare it to you breeding dogs, which you keep as pets, so you sell them too me. I now go out and have dog fights with the dogs and abuse them. Should you be called a criminal or held accountable? In your ignorance you thought everyone treated their dogs fairly.

I have kept it in mind mate thats why i made my statement.
Africans stole women from other tribes to rape and breed with and then they sold the surplus slaves to us white folks. So don't sit there and say that the afrikan's thought their kidnapped slave's sold to the white man would be returned. Your being nieve and you aint dying ignorance.
These were tribal wars that were settled through violence , rape and slavery, It is as simple as that.
I fail to understand your comparison between dogs and africans. I think your getting confused and fustrated.edit on 12-5-2011 by meathed because: (no reason given)
Yes Afrikans stole and raped and then sold slaves to white folks, but their understanding and definition of slave was totally different. A person could be a slave in a Afrikan village for 10 years and earn their freedom. They would then either return home or become a member of that village, and not a second class member either. So yes, the Afrikans were tricked into this chattel slavery. That's why I made the comparison of dogs and slavery. If you treated your dogs fine, how would you know there are people that fight dogs?

If we didn't have a structured government in America it would be the same thing.
As far as I know, from reading contemporary accounts, the majority of slave traders operating on the coast of west Africa were Portugese.

You don't really believe that do you? If so, then you need to do some reading. You couldnt be further from the truth.

Well, call me what you will, but personally I don't believe that at all. They act differently because they are different. "Racist"? Or just true...?

New Orleans natural disaster
Rape left and right during state of anarchy while Govt. kept them inside the area like lab rats.
Any questions?
Yes I have one.
WHERE was the police and your government when you needed them. Why were people getting raped in front of other people while americans stood back and watched.
Why do you condone this.
Ps. AngryOne , I starred you this time as i liked what you said

Yeah, I've got a question: Are you implying that it was "The Man's" fault? That all those poor Black folk just HAD to rape like there was no tomorrow because they're so damned "oppressed"? Nice try. I don't think so.
But who created Ghettos?
By that time, most of the Jews in Portugal, Spain and France had been exterminated....
Hmm...Portugese? Or Jews from Portugal?

Seriously, is this a trick question?
Regardless, the answer is this: Basically, whoever is living there. In this case, Black folks.
The place does not make the people; the people make the place.
