Slavery In Africa On Oprah Show.

Ndipe,

I am very concerned.

But first you have to remember though with the African American, to be very careful about how this news is introduced. African Americans have no tolerance for slavery. A story such as this could lead to a deep hatred of Africans and a desire for all Continental Africans in Africa to die.

Remember, in America, white racists already like to tell African Americans that they only have to wait a few more years for more Africans to die of AIDS, and then Africa won't be able to put up any resistance as African Americans take it over to save it from things like this. In other words, very soon, we can get the phuck a way from whites, we hate so much. And with all the needed resources of Africa, we won't even need whites to pay reparations, we would be rich from African resources.

So this is the reason, that I am careful with the atrocity's of Africa and in particular, the ones related to slavery and how it introduced to African Americans.

I normally like to point out that with so called "modern day slavery in Africa", we have several factors contributing to this.

1. Whites have destroyed Africa from the last 600 years of rape.
2. African minds have been distorted for the last 600 years, because of the above.
3. Most parents who sell their children, often don't know the real hardships their children face. (Just as Ancient Africans did not know the real hardships faced by the slaves they sold to whites.)
4. Hunger in the bible, drove Jews to eat their own children. We should be so lucky that this hunger only leads to hard work.
5. A lot of countries, like your story shows, such as Ghana and Nigeria are passing laws and begining to wake up to this fact.
6. Children have always had more value in lands where development on a widescale has not happenned.

Praise God, I know Oprah is going to do it with the right attitude, of we need to reach out in love and fight to end this type of thing.

I am basically going to argue that this is the whiteman's fault also.

It is the Blackman's burden. They were taught for 600 years to sale people to survive and their still doing it.

We Blacks have to take the initative to give people a Black Education, so they can unlearn this behavior and turn inwards, towards making all Black lives better.

Modern slavery is a global phenomenon that spans different continents especialy africa, latin america and asia. Hope africa wasnt isolated in the report because ive seen reports that give this phenomenon a global dimension.

saw the show yesterday. i felt so bad seeing those kids like that. well, we never learn!! history keep repeating itself.

blame our people and our govt my brother. it's her money she can do what she likes with it. who do you blame more than a young woman who is willing to sell off her kids?

now someone have already paid to buy back the children and see them in school. bless that woman who did after reading the boy's story in the paper.

Whats all the HOO! HHAAA! about?

In the "developed" countries these so called atrocities are called apprenticeship.


** tackle the ailment, not the symptoms **

Under no circumstances should a 6 year old kid be allowed to work as a servant. It is child abuse.

what would you call a six year old learning to become a professional tennis player.
an abused child?

Humans would do anything to keep going, its a survival trait. You are lucky if you have a silver spoon

I have not watched the Oprah show in question but I think we must be careful not to lump apprenticeship with slavery,Oprah like most Americans suffers from a deep lack of understanding about Africabecause there is more to Africa than being black or going to South Africa and meeting the Madiba so I believe a few questions must be asked before we all fall for another Jeff Koinage,remember him? scam.
Ghana and Ghanians are a very organised people and from what I know of them I really don't think they would stand for something like this,a system of organised slave labour?I have my doubts
