CTPlayer: Sure indentured service is a form of slavery. So is sex slave trafficking today. People act like picking cotton is the only type of slavery. Most white immigrants to the Americas for the first 200 years were slaves. Very honest statement.Things like that are not taught in school. |

CTPlayer: They left for more freedoms and opportunities. Generally in feudal Europe one pretty much stays in the class they were born in, mostly peasants. Especially early on about 1/2-2/3rds of all Europeans that came to the Americas, Caribbean were indentured servants. An employer master would pay for their shipping cost and the servant would work for that person for about 5-7 years, no wages. But attain freedom at a still reasonably young age. . This is a ' sweet creamy ' way to say they were slaves. |

Not long ago one of those women called Trump something like ' son of the b..'. or ' this mother Fk'. BBC July 14 ,. 2019. 3 3 hours ago Trump under fire for racially-charged tweets against congresswomen
Rashida Tlaib (centre), who responded by calling Trump 'a lawless and complete failure of a president', US President Donald Trump has been accused of racism after posting tweets attacking Democratic congresswomen.
He claimed the women "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe", before suggesting they "go back".
He then said Speaker Nancy Pelosi "would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements".
It comes a week after Ms Pelosi clashed with "the squad", a group of four left-wing Democratic women of colour.
Of the four congresswomen, three - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley - were born and raised in the US, while the fourth, Ilhan Omar, moved to the US as a child.
Ms Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx in New York, approximately 12 miles away from the Queens hospital where Mr Trump himself was born.
What did the president say? In a three-tweet thread, Mr Trump accused the congresswomen of "viciously" criticising him and the US.
He wrote: "So interesting to see 'progressive' Democrat congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful nation on earth, how our government is to be run.
The White House revolving door: Who's gone? Trump retreats on census citizenship question "Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done.
"These places need your help badly, you can't leave fast enough. I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!" |

Foreign Affairs › Reading: Anti -miscegenation Laws by panafrican(op): 12:44am On Jul 14, 2019 |
Anti-miscegenation laws
Anti-miscegenation laws or miscegenation laws are laws that enforce racial segregation at the level of marriage and intimate relationships by criminalizing interracial marriage and sometimes also sex between members of different races.
Anti-miscegenation laws were first introduced in North America from the late seventeenth century onwards by several of the Thirteen Colonies, and subsequently by many US states and US territories and remained in force in many US states until 1967.
After the Second World War, an increasing number of states repealed their anti-miscegenation laws. In 1967, in Loving v. Virginia, the remaining anti-miscegenation laws were held to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States.
Similar laws were also enforced in Nazi Germany as part of the Nuremberg laws which were passed in 1935, and in South Africa as part of the system of Apartheid which was passed in 1948.
In the United States, interracial marriage, cohabitation and sex have been termed "miscegenation" since the term was coined in 1863. Contemporary usage of the term is infrequent, except to refer to historical laws banning the practice.

Not all women are evil and unfaithful Many put their lives on the line for their husbands Here are some examples that come to mind among many other examples. 1.Ceausescu' s wife remained faifthful to him and died on his side with him . She could have escaped before their capture.
2. Eva Braun Hitler: She died with her husband. She came to Berlin when many German officials were seeking refuge in Argentina or elsewhere.
3. Corason Aquino took the torch of the fight when her husband was gunned down at the airport on his return from exil. She defeated Ferdinand Marcos the Philippines dictator who killed her husband.
4. It is not rate to see women being married for 50 years or more in Africa without any issue
5. Yasir Arafat' s wife continues to fight to get to the bottom of what killed her husband . etc. |

One question that comes to mind is: did any Polish citizen sell those people as slaves to the British ?. The answer is no, someone out there in UK planned and funded the system that got the slaves to where they are now. It was the same thing that happened with Western slave ships taking African slaves.They raided African sea shores and the remote lands to capture slaves , now they are saying Africans sold heir own people. |

To Afro pessimistic folks: For the record, It is not in Africa. It is in Europe Let this sink in. UK slavery network 'had 400 victims' 05 July 2019 Birmingham & Black Country BBC Share this with Email Share this with Facebook Share this with Twitter Share this with Whatsappembers of a gang behind the biggest modern-day slavery network ever exposed in the UK have been jailed.
Police believe more than 400 victims were put to work in the West Midlands by the organised crime gang.
They tricked vulnerable people from Poland into England with the promise of work and a better life.
But their victims were made to live in rat-infested houses and work menial jobs, it can now be reported after reporting restrictions were lifted.
Filthy bed at one of the houses Eight offenders, who police say are members and associates of two Polish crime families, have been convicted of slavery, trafficking and money-laundering offences during two trials.
Five have been jailed, with sentences ranging from four years and six months to 11 years. Three more are set to be sentenced, including one who went on the run during his trial.
The network collapsed when two victims fled their captors in 2015 and told slavery charity Hope for Justice of their ordeal.
Video caption Miroslaw Lehmann, 38, was tricked into coming to the UK from Poland with the promise of a job The group of five men and three women targeted the most desperate from their homeland, including the homeless, ex-prisoners and alcoholics.
They were transported to the UK by bus, but when they arrived they were housed in squalid homes around West Bromwich, Smethwick and Walsall, forced to sleep up to four in a room on filthy mattresses and had their wages "farmed" from bank accounts on payday.
The slaves were made to work long days at rubbish recycling centres, farms and turkey-gutting factories and given as little as £20 a week by their captors.
But they were marched to banks and made to open accounts the gang had complete control over.
Image caption One gang member, Ignacy Brzezinski, drove around in a Bentley funded by his slaves' work The gang also claimed benefits in the names of some of their oblivious victims, who ranged in age from 17 to a man in his 60s.
One of the victims died while in captivity, and the gang removed all his personal belongings and identity documents so their plot could not be discovered.
It is estimated the gang made more than £2m between June 2012 and October 2017, which allowed them to lead a lavish lifestyle.
The convictions and sentences in full Marek Chowaniec, 30, of Walsall, and Marek Brzezinski, 50, Tipton, jailed for 11 and nine years respectively for trafficking, conspiracy to require another to perform forced labour and money laundering.
Justyna Parczewska, 48, West Bromwich, and Julianna Chodakowicz, 24, of Evesham, jailed for eight and seven years respectively for conspiracy to require another to perform forced labour and money laundering.
Natalia Zmuda, 29, of Walsall, four years and six months for trafficking, conspiracy to require another to perform forced labour and money laundering.
Ignacy Brzezinski, 52 of West Bromwich, Jan Sadowski, 26, of West Bromwich and Wojciech Nowakowski, 41, of Winson Green, were all convicted of trafficking charges, conspiracy to require and control another person to perform forced labour, and conspiracy to acquire, use and possess criminal property. They will be sentenced later on Friday.
Police said Chowaniec was the "respectable face" of the gang, playing a convincing role in banks and employment agencies. Ignacy Brzezinski - who absconded during his trial while wearing an electronic tag - was in charge of the bank accounts and wages.
Marek Brzezinski travelled to Poland to recruit victims, while Parczewska - the wife of Ignacy Brzezinski - was described by police as having a "matriarchal role, welcoming new arrivals and making them cups of tea and food at her home but knowing full well what horrors lay ahead".
Image copyright WEST MIDLANDS POLICE Cash and bank cards laid out on the floor Image caption Police recovered cash and bank cards in the names of the slaves when they swooped on the gang They even had an insider at a Worcester employment agency - Chodakowicz - who signed up dozens of the victims.
Nowakowski and Sadowski met the arrivals in the UK while Zmuda escorted them to job centre appointments and controlled bank accounts.
The trial judge at Birmingham Crown Court, Mary Stacey, described their trafficking conspiracy as the "most ambitious, extensive and prolific" modern-day slavery network ever exposed in the UK.
Ch Insp Nick Dale, who led Operation Fort, said it had been a "really complex investigation" over four years.
Video caption Det Ch Insp Nick Dale urged members of the public to help spot slavery victims A total of 92 victims were identified but police believe at least 350 more were used by the gang and either could not be traced, had left the country or were too scared to give evidence.
"This was trafficking and exploitation on a massive scale; this gang treated these people, their fellow countrymen, as commodities purely for their own greed," Ch Insp Dale said.
"What they did was abhorrent: they subjected victims to a demi-life of misery and poverty. They forced them into work and, if they objected, they were beaten or threatened with violence and told family members back home would be attacked.
"Some were told they would be taken to the woods to dig their own graves. One man who had an accident at work was forced back to the factory and denied hospital treatment, leaving him with long-term damage to his arm."

Okijajuju1: What is 'Central African Republic'?! 
Who else knew about this place before now?!  History and Geography curricula should be updated in Nigeria. Can't believe Nigerian new generations are so uninformed. Do you remember PanAfricanist Barthelemy Boganda ? He died in 1959. Do you remember Operation Barracuda in 1979 when Giscard sent French troops to overthrow Emperor Jean Bedel Bokassa ? Bokassa was on a trip to Libya. Later in 1981 when Giscard was running for president , there was a televised debate during which Mitterrand the socialist front runner asked questions about the " Central African diamonds". Those diamonds were given to Giscard by Bokassa. The issue went viral and Giscard lost the race to Mitterrand.The later was France's longest serving president in History . He ruled for 14 years. Also keep in mind Central African Republic has one of the biggest French military bases in the world. From there, they are at almost equal distance from East Africa, West Africa, North Africa and the Southern part of Africa. They can easily strike Nigeria if needed. |
