First of all: 3 of 4 my grandparent's families came her well after the Civil War. 4th had members in a unit raised in New Tork including one who died at Andersonville and another who was released from service due to wounds.
Frankly I could not care less what color someone's skin is, I can usually find enough reasons to like or dislike them well before that becomes an issue.
What I don't like is this continuous harping on the "vicitm" mentality. Jerks like you can only find the bad in America and if you can't find enough to meet your agenda, then you'll make it up.

But the deliberate perpetuation of color-coded slavery and genocide has always been an ongoing issue in US.

Therefore, regardless of the reasons of your liking or disliking black people, their skin color shouldn't be the cause for traditional discrimination and ongoing capitalization from brutal exploitation of their slave labor.... -- --- _____________________________________________________

Do you really exoect anyone to seriously consider that the United States is still engaging in slavery? Communist and totlaitarian nations enslave thier own people, Islam enslaves women and infidels by defintion, in Sudan Christians are enslaved by Muslims.
And you want us to beleive some bizarre story that the US is the big criminal here? Why don't you take your profanity laced invective and go save people who are truly in need of saving rather than attempting to damage thios country with your insane ravings?
Or would that require to much effort and personal courage?

If you are unaware of the deliberate perpetuation of ongoing slavery in US, which is traditionally slanted on color-coded discrimination of people in violation of the Human Rights, you can read US Constitution, where slavery is being allowed against the convicts... And because all forms of slavery were abolished by Article 4 of the Human Rights, its practice has been in brutal violation of the Human Rights for 60 years....

I condemn every other country with gulag economy, where slave labor of defenseless hostages of the incarceration industry and the victims of completely corrupt and criminal judicial system is being used for illegal capitalization to benefit their ruling elites... -- _____________________________________________________

Instead of some opium induced dream about slavery in the present day United States for which there is no evidence how about Sudan?
What have you done to help real slaves living lives of terror, pain, sexual bondage, death and forced religious conversions?
Perhaps until you can distinguish between actual, observable slavery that the world through the UN appears to want to ignore and imagined slavery in the US which I can comfortably say almost no sane person thinks to be the case you should stop posting.
Your clear antiamerican bias is repulsive and does you no credit or credibility.
Are there slaves in Sudan? There are no public auctions; there is no systematic branding... But women and children, particularly from Southern Sudanese communities, have been seized in violent raids on villages by fighters armed by the government in the civil war. They are forced into servitude on farms or in houses, often sexually exploited, and sometimes sold by their captors.
How many slaves are there? Several thousand have been enslaved in the last ten years. It's impossible to give a precise figure, or to say how many have escaped or been freed. The raiders have also massacred thousands of people and driven hundreds of thousands from their homes. Many such "displaced" people, including 250,000 Nuba, are forced into in government "peace camps" - where they become internees, but not slaves.
Who are the slaves? The slaves are mostly Dinka people from the northern part of Bahr al-Ghazal region, plus small numbers from other war-stricken areas.
Who captures them? The main takers of slaves are government-armed militias from the Rezeigat and Meseriya people. Both groups belong to the Baggara, cattle-herding Arabic- speaking people who live in the neighbouring regions of Kordofan and Darfur. Other members of the "Popular Defence Force" (PDF) militias, as well as some regular army officers, are also involved.
How long has the taking of slaves in Sudan been going on? Many centuries. Raiding for slaves was common under Turkish-Egyptian and Mahdist rule in the 19th century, when Northern Sudan held tens of thousands of slaves, and exported tens of thousands more to Egypt and the Arab states.
Much of Southern Sudan was plundered by commercial slave traders, who devastated its peoples. Southern Sudanese resisted fiercely, and today's inhabitants are the descendants of those people who remained free. Slavery was abolished by the British imperial rulers in 1898, but it took some decades for the practice to die out. Although Sudan suffered a North-South civil war from 1955-72, slave-taking was not a central issue then. Slavery has only re-emerged in the last decade.
In 1986 the Defence Minister in the civilian government led by Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi proceeded to arm Baggara militias as a "security belt" against the mainly Southern rebels, the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), in renewed civil war. The resurgence of slavery was described in a 1987 report by two Northern Sudanese university lecturers, who linked it to the militias. Many of today's slaves were taken during the 1986-89 period, before the current regime seized power.
What is the Sudan Government's policy? The government has repeatedly denied that slavery exists, but under international pressure it set up committees to investigate the question in early 1996. It blames the phenomenon on "tribal conflicts" in which both sides take hostages, and insists these captives are not slaves. Slavery is against the law in Sudan, and only "the white man, decades ago", took slaves, it says. In practice, the government uses the militias to destroy villages and terrorize entire communities. It turns a blind eye to raiding for captives as "war booty" to be kept in servitude or sold. Some captives become hostages, some become slaves. When families of captives try to get their children back through the courts,the government has not often been helpful. And close to the war zones, few people are brave enough to challenge militia fighters in court.
How can the slaves in Sudan be freed? Some escape, some are released by the courts or by inter-tribal negotiation. Some are handed back to their relatives on payment of "keeper's expenses". Rezeigat and Dinka representatives have negotiated for the release of hundreds of Dinka children in return for access to fresh pastures and water controlled by the Southerners - underlining how ecology affects the conflict.
Reports of foreigners helping to "buy back" captives have publicized the situation. But paying ransoms is not a solution. Capturing people for ransom or slavery can only be ended by dismantling the militias, restoring judicial processes and bringing the perpetrators to justice. It's essential to revive local reconciliation systems, and ensure access for human rights monitors.
Is slavery the main problem in Sudan's war? Slavery alerts us to the extremes of human rights abuse in Sudan, and to the racist history in the conflict. But it is vital not to overlook the many related atrocities committed against civilians in Southern Sudan, the Nuba Mountains of Kordofan, and elsewhere - including massacres, rape, aerial bombing and the wholesale destruction of villages.
Since 1983, an estimated 1.5 million Sudanese people have died and at least five million fled their homes as a result of war. It is government policy to force hundreds of thousands of war-displaced people into "peace villages". These are internment camps: people are denied their liberty and forced to work for little or no pay in appalling conditions. Families are split up, women are abused, men have to train and fight in the PDF militia. Children are taught a crude exclusionist Islam and made to Arabize theirnames and their language. Both sides in the war are using child soldiers and forced labour. RivalSouthern Sudanese factions have kidnapped children and abducted women.
What is the background to the war? British colonial rulers pursued separate development policies for North and South Sudan, setting the stage for conflict when they left. The war is also rooted in decades of social, political and economic discrimination by the dominant North against Southerners and people from other peripheral parts of the country.
In 1983, Southern army units mutinied and formed the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), which claims to fight for the equality of all Sudanese. The SPLA split in 1991 and many Southern civilians have died in faction fighting. Since a military coup in 1989, the government of Lt- General Hassan al-Bashir has intensified the war, estimated to cost a crippling one million dollars a day. Oppression extends well beyond the war zones: dissent is banned, and torture is rife. Most Northern political parties - and some former army officers - have formed an exiled opposition front called the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
Is this a religious war? The ruling National Islamic Front (NIF) won less than 10% of the votes of Muslim Sudanese in the last free elections. It uses religious rhetoric in its war propaganda, to try to rally international Islamic support. Some Christian

Good luck to anyone trying to learn Hebrew. I am looking for a Hebrew-Gregorian calendar in both Hebrew and English lettering.
I am looking for my missing automobile. Left in the care of Low's Tire (Firestone) on King George Hwy which has since gone out of business. A man who claimed to be a tow truck driver named Jerry (sounded Black) called me and said he had it but when I called him back he denied it. JVD-968 "89 Plymouth Reliant white with red interior. Devellis in lettering on the rear trunk. Contact me by email or the GRC if you are one of those ppl. Am looking for the address of Dave Reynolds and any info about him. He used to run Low's Tires and since he refuses to answer his email lowst...@telus.net I can only assume he is the person who stole my vehicle and the contents in it. I have talked to the new owners and they claim to know nothing. 3P3BK41D9KT921716 is the vin number. John Reynolds still has a valid email lowst...@telus.net but refuses to return my inquiries.Any info about this thief is appreciated.
I am also looking for various books and CD's that I have discovered missing. All are marked Greg Carr on the inside cover or somewhere in the CD booklet. $5 reward for each CD and for each book. Will pay $200 for info regarding how they disappeared because I honestly don't know.
