That would be the Arabs doing their best Pirate impersonation. lol. The Arabs were buying and selling "dark lasses" before the first European stepped foot onto that Continent.

If anything, the Europeans have done pleasant things in the Dark Continent. Wasn't SA once a first world nation under European rule? Now look at it. Compare every thinkable statistic in SA under European rule compared to now, Under African rule. The number are appalling and the numbers don't lie.
Btw, Isn't it the Chinese that are 'Invading' Africa now? Chinese does not = European
If you call what China is doing invading, then I need to give you a pop quiz.
Don't worry, it's multiple choice.
Who was most likely to use this term in the following sense?
"Aye matey, let's be off to africa, pillage some rubies 'n swipe us some dark lasses."
A) A pirate
B) An English Ship Port worker in the 1700s
C) A drunken Englishman with missing teeth and a wooden leg
D) All of the above

Since the beginning of time, the Continent has been used to pick up slaves. It's a sad, sad truth.edit on 7-7-2013 by kimish because: (no reason given)

An ex-colony may be getting the better, in economic terms, of its old master
THE airport at Luanda, Angola's capital, is called “The Fourth of February” after the start of the nationalist uprising against Portugal, the old imperial power, in 1961. But that is not deterring the thousands of Portuguese flooding in every week. With Portugal's economy sickly, a stream of professionals has been heading south to the former colony. Portugal's foreign ministry says it registered 45,000 Portuguese citizens as resident in Angola in 2007-08. A year later the figure had jumped to 92,000. Not long ago, Angolans were fleeing a civil war, looking for a better life in Portugal

/sarcasm/ So hundreds of white people showed up onto a Continent of thousands of black people just took them and made them into slaves?
That's American History for you /sarcasm over/
Disgustingly untrue, isn't it? Of course it is, it all falls into the agenda that Undo is speaking of. And you are thinking too deeply into it and it's convoluting your thought process.
The Chinese aren't improving their infrastructure, their education systems and they definitely aren't keeping crime rates down from what they are now.

NOT funny how 95% of all suicide bombing attacks worldwide are carried out by Muslims. NOT funny how more people are killed by Muslim's each YEAR than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition combined. NOT funny how 270 million people have been killed by Jihad since Islam began.

One group and one group alone is responsible for virtually all wars and bloodshed on the face of this planet. The Synagogue of Satan
"After forty years of patient study of the crises which faces humanity, I arrived at a very simple conclusion-all conspiracies are Satanic! " Eustace Mullins
"In fact, I point out that all the conspiracies in history - especially during the last 5000 years - are actually different aspects of the same conspiracy. Some people fixed on one aspect of the conspiracy, and say this is the problem, others say another thing, but the thing is all the conspirators work together. All the conspirators are part of the same operation. And this is what people find very reluctant." - Eustace Mullins

Atrocities have been committed endlessly through time in the name of religion, all religions, no one is exempt. This is just the latest we know of. Acts like this are a stain on humanity, on all of us. It is horrendous. Inexcusable. There is apparently no sane limit for ignorance and hatred.

It's a great sin for a Muslim to child an innocent child.
Evil people will use any excuse to murder and harm others. There are plenty of times in the history of mankind when non-religious people have murdered innocents as well. I keep seeing this sort of claim being said/written by some people but you are ignoring, or forgetting the fact that evil people, even atheists, have used many excuses to commit the atrocities they have done, and do to this day...
