    Wouldn't it be nice if the world stopped devoting it's attention the slavery that existed over a century ago and diverted it's attention to the slavery that exists today?

    Metro Detroiters Join in Solidarity with Kidnapped School Girls and Families in Nigeria
    DETROIT – On the day before Mother’s Day, concerned metro Detroiters will join together in solidarity to demonstrate support for the mothers, parents and families of the more than 250 Nigerian school girls who were kidnapped some three weeks ago. Detroit Branch NAACP president, the Rev. Wendell Anthony, will speak, as will Akua Budu-Watkins, representing the Shrines of the Black Madonna.
    The rally of solidarity, in support of the international movement to rescue the kidnapped girls, will be held on Saturday, May 10 at 3 p.m. at the DSTDFI Headquarters, home of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.,
    Detroit Alumnae Chapter, at 24760 West Seven Mile Road at Grand River in Detroit, Michigan. Advocates from concerned organizations will speak on how metro Detroiters can act to address the plight of these girls, others who are in peril, and the lack of media attention. This event is free and open to all.
    “So many like-minded Detroiters have been in conversation, sharing our grief and disbelief that this is happening right now to these precious girls,” says event organizer, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Midwest Region Social Action Coordinator Kim Trent. “We knew that it was time for collective action to voice our outrage at the horror of this present-day mass enslavement.”
    CNN reports that “Militants seized about 230 girls in the dead of the night at a high school in the nation's far northeast, a hotbed for [the] Islamist group Boko Haram.” The leader of this group has now released a video [http://time.com/87658/boko-haram-nig...napped-girls/] vowing to sell the girls for $12 each and have them “married” off to the extremists. “Married,” is the euphemism for being sold to a kidnapper as a sex slave. International coverage of Boko Haram is replete with horrendous tales of rape, told by those who survived to tell them. President Obama has now committed U.S. assistance to find the girls.

    Meanwhile, American girls are kidnapped, abused, mistreated and starving every single day. Let's ignore the homeland, as usual, and help the rest of the world. Especially the countries that hate our guts. Because, of course, American Citizens don't count.

    Let's ignore huge areas of our major cities are slums and on the level of 3rd world countries.
    Let's ignore that huge areas of our cities are crime infested.
    Let's ignore that huge portions of our government is corrupt.

    Let's save the rest of the world and let the homeland continue to rot.

    Yeah, these girls are in a tough spot.
    But so are all the missing girls in the United States we turn a blind eye to every day.

    This may offend some people, but if you read history and not what the media and schools shove down your throat, you will know your history and know this to be true. Let's stop hating a country where people died for freedom and righted much of it's wrongs . . and start hating African countries who to this very day turn a blind eye to those who capture and sell human beings from within their own borders... as they have done for centuries.


    Europeans, Arabs, Asians, Americans and Africans themselves were all involved and responsible for the historic slave trade. The point to the post is: Slavery in America is a historic event. Slavery in Africa is CURRENT event.

    Slavery should be eradicated in the modern world.
    There is no excuse for the rest of the world to tolerate it.
    And these countries in Africa that are letting it happen should be held accountable.
