MALCOLM X: OUR HISTORY WAS DESTROYED BY SLAVERY http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/ Malcolm X appears on a television in Chicago called "City Desk" on March 17, 1963. "My father didn't know his last name. My father got his last name from his grandfather and his grandfather got it from his grandfather who got it from the slavemaster. The real names of our people were destroyed during slavery. The last name of my forefathers was taken from them when they were brought to America and made slaves, and then the name of the slavemaster was given, which we refuse, we reject that name today and refuse it. I never acknowledge it whatsoever." http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/ Tags: Malcolm Black African Peace Freedom Justice MLK Martin Luther King Islam Muslim |

Muslim Black slavery - Islam slave history of Black Africa When doing research on African slavery I came across this video and was surprised about the slave trade in the Middle East, especially around North Africa. This explains the current genocide that is going on in Darfur and the Sudan. I could see the link with the past that this has been going on for 14 centuries. This person wrote this book about slavery in Islamic states. John Alembillah Alembillah Azumah The book is called Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa: A Quest for Inter-Religious Dialogue. This book reveals the dark secret of Islam and slavery of black people in Africa and the history of how Arab Muslims went to war on and captured black men, women and children and turned them into slaves. While slavery only lasted 3 centuries in the west, it has lasted 14 centuries in the Middle East and exists today in many Muslim countries. He explains the book in this short video and it is very interesting. It explains that when Arab slave traders would raid black villages to the south they would kill the adults and kidnap the children. The boy children were indoctrinated into an Islamic army for the Arabs and the girls were taken as household and sex slaves. The reason their were not that many black descendants in the middle east is because the black male children were castrated so they could not reproduce. There were a few black Africans who grew up and because they curried favor with their masters were allowed to also be slave traders. A very interesting history of black African slave trade and the Muslim Arab world. People need to know this history, BUT instead sadly people will never get enough of watching Souljah Boy dance dude, 50 cent, old Tupac Shakur Rap videos, Britany Spears and other videos and never know the truth, especially white and black converts or reverts. This is part of the legacy of slavery that most African American people should know. Many black converts or reverts do not know this history before they converted believing that they were originally Muslim before they were sold into slavery. They were not. People should research their history before they convert or revert. Tags: black slave slavery africa african blacks muslim islam islamic arab muslims racist racism history christianity christian |

INDIAN SLAVERY The movie includes clips of Kevin Bales, the author or Disposable People. India is a source, destination, and transit country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation. India's trafficking in persons problem is estimated to be in the millions. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) estimates that 90 percent of India's sex trafficking is internal. Women and girls are trafficked internally for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced marriage. Children are subject to involuntary servitude as factory workers, domestic servants, beggars, and agriculture workers. Men, women, and children are held in debt bondage and face involuntary servitude working in brick kilns, rice mills, agriculture, and embroidery factories. India is also a destination for women and girls from Nepal and Bangladesh trafficked for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation. Bangladeshi women reportedly are trafficked through India for sexual exploitation in Pakistan. Although Indians migrate willingly to the Gulf for work as domestic servants and low-skilled laborers, some later find themselves in situations of involuntary servitude, including extended working hours, non-payment of wages, restrictions on movement by withholding of passports or confinement to the workplace, and physical or sexual abuse. Bangladeshi and Nepali men and women are trafficked through India for involuntary servitude in the Middle East. - U.S. State Dept Trafficking in Persons Report, June, 2007 Tags: INDIA SLAVERY |

Chocolate and Slavery This was my final presentation for my Comparitive Ethnic Studies Class taught by David Leonard at Washington State University. David is a very good teacher and the class showed the relations within food and race. We talked about slavery in cocoa, coffee, and banana industries. Also about how media shows food and its ads and how it is directly reflected in racism such as the mammy figure of Aunt Jamima. The video is about chocolate and the slavery that goes hand-in-hand with it. I hope you enjoy and thank you for all the comments on this video. Go Cougs!

Cambodia: CHILD SEX SLAVERY (1of2) [EN&KH] When Dalyn was only 12 years old, she was tricked and forced into prostitution. Locked in a cage with others underneath the brothel, she was starved, beaten and threatened at gun point until she agreed to service clients. International Amnesty should take a look at police chief Hok Lundy and his police thugs. It is shameful that Cambodia has to bare the face for selling young girls while Vietnamese are running the brothels. The issue of trafficking of women and children receives increased attention in the public and the mass media. Confronted with the complexity of the problem and under the shock of sometimes cruel individual stories of victims, one is tempted to concentrate almost exclusively on the criminal aspects of the trade and on the issue of rescuing victims. Many of Yuon girls always sell their beautiful bodies to foreigners to raise their families who are still living in both Cambodia and Vietnam in miserable poverty. In Srok Yuon, it's hard for them to do this dirty business, for there is no freedom at all, is being run wickedly by its Yuon leaders who are the worst murderous violators of human rights on earth. TRAFFICKING IN VIRGINS According to the report on sexual exploitation and trafficking in Cambodia, child prostitutes (under 18 years old) constitute about 15.5 percent of the total number of prostitutes in Cambodia. In the youngest age group, that is from 9 to 15 years old, about three-quarters were reported to be Vietnamese. Although we did not encounter cases of girls under 13 years old in this survey, child prostitution is definitely part of the commercial sex business in Cambodia. The very young girls are worth a lot of money as virgins. Deflowering a young girl is, among some (especially Chinese) groups, believed to have a rejuvenating effect on men. The word used in this context is derived from the Vietnamese word 'khui'. Literally, khui means to open a bottle, to uncork or to make a hole. The term khui is also used figuratively to describe having sex with a girl or woman who is still a virgin. Some men even use the term in the meaning of having sex with a woman, without especially referring to her virgin or non-virgin status. However, women or girls who have had sex already are worth a lot less in the sex business. The first time they can receive $200 to $1,000, depending on the age and beauty of the girl. The second time, she is worth already a lot less, after which her 'value' diminishes even further. These girls or women are so-called khui haey or kouc haey [deflowered already] and therefore have lost their special 'value'. The idea prevails that especially Vietnamese girls are sold to be khui-ed, as a meebon in Svay Rieng commented: "The Vietnamese people don't mind about virginity. They don't care about their daughter losing virginity. They are glad that their daughter can earn much money..." For the very young girls, being forced to be khui-ed is often a traumatic experience. They usually do not know what awaits them. A Vietnamese girl, who lived with her mother next to Svay Pak, was brought to a brothel when she was 14 years old. She remembers: "My mother sold me for the first khui for $500. I did not know what to do, but she told me I had to stay in that place for four to ten days and that she would bring me back home afterwards. Then the meebon ordered me to sleep with a guest. I hurt so much. I cried, I had heavy bleedings. I was so afraid." The bleeding after deflowering is an important sign of virginity of the girl for the meebon and especially the client. In some cases, the meebon will have a doctor do a check-up in order to see whether a new-brought girl is still a virgin. A Vietnamese girl who was 15 years old when she was brought to a brothel was checked by a doctor and declared not to be a virgin. This was not because she had had sex before, but according to the doctor, possibly because she rode a bicycle. Therefore, the meebon put the girl among the "ordinary place" and not among the virgins. A client, who agrees with the meebon to pay a high price for deflowering a virgin girl, expects the virgin girl to bleed. If not, the client will refuse paying anything at all. A 16-year-old Cambodian-born Vietnamese girl interviewed in a shelter recounted how she 'devaluated' after the meebon found out that she was not khui: "At that time we were very poor. Everyone looked down on us, even my sister. My mother told me to try to earn money, so that we did not need to be ashamed with our neighbours who had a lot of jewelry. My mother didn't know that I was deflowered with my boyfriend. She thought that I was a virgin. She talked with a meebon to bring me to khui... They didn't know that I was khui haey. But after sleeping for the first time with a customer, I did not bleed. After this the meebon gave my mother only $50 to take back home." Tags: Dalyn Child Sex Slavery Brothel CPP Cambodia |

Chopin Nocturne Op.72 Child Slavery in Shanxi China 中国山西童奴 It has been estimated that there are at least 1000 child slaves working in the brick kilns of northwestern Shanxi. Besides child slaves, adult slaves have been found recently in Shangxi. A Chinese reporter working for a Henan media, who tried to rescue the child slaves accused the local police in Shanxi as being totally unhelpful. Reportedly, the police even turned parents away by saying that the "slavery" was nothing more than labor dispute. Some parents have been sent away from the factories because of the collusion between local officials and the kiln owners. According to an article in the Chicago Tribune, Liu Cheng, a professor of labor law at Shanghai Normal University, had a different explanation. "My first reaction is that this seems like a typical example of a government-business alliance," Liu said. "Forced labor and child labor in China are illegal, but some local governments don't care too much." The local police, she said, were unwilling to help. Outside one factory, they demanded bribes.

Cambodia: CHILD SEX SLAVERY (2of2) [EN&KH] Some girls are sold only to be khui-ed. They are not sold to a brothel owner who, after an initial high price, will keep on employing the girl as a 'regular' prostitute. This can happen in individual cases, when parents agree with someone to let their daughter spend a week in exchange for some money or when girls decide by themselves to be khui-ed, as the money offered is often way above their imagination. A Vietnamese girl in Ratanakiri recounted how, when she was working in a coffee shop, she was asked to be khui-ed: "There was a customer who came to ask me whether I was a virgin. When I told him that I was still a virgin, he asked me to sleep with him. He would give me $600. I thought that $600 was a lot of money. It's over one domlung! So I agreed with him." However, those girls who are sold to be khui-ed only often do end up as a regular' commercial sex worker in a brothel or dancing hall. For those who are deceived and completely left without any money, there is no other way to get some money to go back home. For others once khui-ed already, prostitution is an attractive option for earning easy money. Although some girls are (made) aware of their worth as a virgin and therefore agree to be khui-ed, many are deceived and do not get anything for losing their virginity. There are more or less specialized middlemen or -women who recruit virgin girls in Vietnam for individual customers or brothel owners. A Kampuchea Krom girl told how she, four years ago, was brought to Phnom Penh by a woman from her village in order to be khui-ed. Every one or two months, this woman brought virgin girls from Vietnam to Cambodia and offered them to soldiers or other (rich) men who want virgin girls. The girls are forced to stay with the man for one week in a hotel. The woman receives $350, of which the girls do not even receive a small share. After having been khui-ed, the girls have often no other possibility but work as a prostitute in a regular bar or brothel, in order to save some money to go back home. Also some brothel owners are, either directly themselves or through certain mediators, interested in recruiting young virgin girls. Some will order mediating recruiters to find virgin girls; others pay huge amounts to mediators who come to offer virgin girls. A Vietnamese girl in a massage place in Kompong Som recalled how she was deceived when she was 17 years old to be khui-ed in a brothel in Phnom Penh: "A woman told me that if I could work in Cambodia as a cook for other people and earn one chi of gold a month. So I followed her and the man who was working with her. They ordered me not to tell my mother, because she would not allow me to go with them and then I would not get a good job in Cambodia. When we came in Phnom Penh, they brought me to a shop. I saw many prostitutes of my age. I saw that the meebon gave 7 chi to the people who brought me there and then they left. Later the meebon told me that these people brought me to his shop to sell me for seven chi to khui me. The same day I was khui-ed. I first didn't agree, but they hit me and they used electricity shocks to force me." The foundation of Cambodia-Hanoi government is selling young girls as part of their GDP. There are sick Vietnamese and Chinese brothels owner out there in Cambodia and it's shame that they use Cambodia as a whore house. "The Problem of Prostitution in Cambodia: Is it normal for the Khmer society?" Recently, the son of Former PM Son Sann, Son Soubert who clearly told to Radio Free Asia in Khmer that Yuon criminals stir up all troubles in Khmer society such as drug trafficking, prostitution and many other criminal acts. Yuon criminals in Cambodia are unmentionable and unbelievable hot topics; it's really hotspot for all Yuon criminals enjoying themselves with the Freedom and Peace, which UNTAC's troops brought into Cambodia since 1991 after the Paris Peace Agreement. Yuon criminals are nearly out of control/touch. What about Yuon criminals in Cambodia? It's really out of control/touch at the moment. Tags: Child Sex Slavery Brothel CPP Cambodia Son Soubert |

Millionaire Gets Prison in Slavery CaseThe Associated PressA millionaire convicted of helping his wife keep two Indonesian housekeepers as virtual slaves was sentenced Friday to more than three years in prison. (June 27)A millionaire and his wife will now both spend time behind bars for virtually enslaving two Indonesian housekeepers. Mahender Sabhnani (sahb-NAH'-nee) was sentenced to more than three years and four months in prison Friday. It comes one day after he tearfully watched his wife received an 11-year sentence.SOT: "We were expecting that judge will let him go but under the circumstances, based on the guidelines, he did his best, so, we are not disappointed but we accept, we accept what the judge says." Bharat Jotwani, friend of Sabhnani family Prosecutors said she was primarily responsible for inflicting years of abuse on the poorly educated servants. But the judge said Sabhnani was aware of what was happening in his Long Island, New York home.SOT: THE JUDGE SAID THAT Mahender DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AND I'M NOT SURE THAT YOU CAN BE CONVICTED OF THESE SERIOUS CRIMES FOR SIMPLY NOT DOING ANYTHING ELSE. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS ON APPEAL AMONG OTHE RTHINGS Attorney Stephen Scaring During the trial, the victims testified they were beaten with brooms and umbrellas and slashed with knives for misdeeds including sleeping late or stealing food from the trash. The women also claim the couple took their passports so they couldn't flee. But one of the women did escape last May which eventually led to the Sabhnani's arrests. Sabhnani, who's originally from India, is an international perfume maker. He has grown children. ___ ___, The Associated Press. Tags: forced labor 2nd n.y. millionaire prison slavery case |

Modern Day Slavery: Racism and the Drug War Slavery is defined as the act of keeping a person as a piece of property. If you ask the average American if slavery still exists in America, their answer is likely to be no. After watching this video, many will change their minds. As the crack epidemic flooded inner cities across the country, in 1986 Reagan's "Anti-Drug Abuse Act" makes the penalty for crack possession a hundred times harsher than that of powder cocaine. The following year new legislation is passed allowing private corporations to own and operate prisons. Twenty years later over a million non-violent drug offenders are imprisoned while corporate stocks are traded based on how many prisoners are in the cages. A report released in 2008 by the International Center for Prison Studies at King's College London states that the United States has the highest incarceration rate and most people behind bars per capita in the world. Over 50% of these people are imprisoned for drug crimes. At the same time, prescription drug companies account for over 50% of Fortune 500 profits. All illegal drugs combined kill approx 11K per year while cigarettes, alcohol and pharmaceutical kill almost a million. What's wrong with this picture?

Barack Obama Says He Wants Reparations For Slavery "Deeds" Not Just Apologies! The House passed The "Apology" today, but for Obama it will not be enough! Article Here: http://starbulletin.com/2008/07/28/news/story05.html My Words: "...Well, everyone, It's time for all of us to pay up. We all know this is type of crap that Jesse Jackson and Reverend Al have been pimping for years. It doesn't matter that hundreds of thousands of Union Soldiers already offered deeds with their lives in a very bloody civil war. It doesn't matter that trillions of dollars in deeds, in the form of public assistance has been given to the disadvantaged, many of them minorities. It doesn't matter that we passed a civil rights act make racial discrimination a crime. It doesn't matter that we passed hate crimes legislation. It doesn't matter that people of all races live together in relative harmony, that there is more peace, tolerance and acceptance than there has ever been and even a willingness from many of all races to move on, to move forward. It is also doesn't matter that there are no living slaves and that there exist no living slave-owners. It doesn't matter if your ancestors arrived here after the civil war, like mine did. It doesn't matter if they lived in the free north or the slave south. Barack Obama wants us to offer "deeds", Reparations for slavery..."
