No, the article is accurate, but the slaves they talk of are Hotentots, bushmen, and slaves brought from Malay, today mostly mixed, but the established nations, Xhosa, Zulu, Ndebele, fought to the bitter end, never sold each other, maybe now, but arn't we all slaves now, no sir a Zulu is something else, a child of heaven, not chosen by heaven but a child of heaven. By the way the bushmen did not sell themselves into slavery they had and still do not value money andmaterial stuff they had to be hunted down, so in retrospect nobody in that region sold themselves into slavery, their mind was never destroyed, hence people having failed in that factor today come out with a new trick, e.g less IQ let us rule you because you can't rule yourself, ha.

First of all you have to work in order to get social security and if you look at the figures in California? The welfare program is occupied by a very big percentage of blacks

But just when you think you're being objective, and supporting a race. You're doing exactly what the person you quoted is doing. That is stereotyping and being racist.

So much to say, were to begin?

1st. African Amricans did get their own country, remember, Liberia? Their flag even resembles yours? It has been one of the bloodiest countries on the continent. thus i do not see the African-Americans comming here doing Africa, or them, any good. and what is next? Sending all the poor whites back to Europe?

Secondly, I love how Africa is shown as this place of perpetual evil and then only 1 example is continously given - Zimbabwe. Do not get me wroing - things went horribly wrong in Africa sincethe 50's, no doubt. But things are a lot better now, than they were 20 years ago. Most ofthe dictators have been overthrown, a lot of the cvil wars have ended ar are in the process of being ended. There are many many problems still to be solved in the 52 free and independant states of Africa, but one has to recognise that things are slowly getting better, and that Zimabwe (which is about as Marxist as China) is not Africa. As the South African President (with whom I rarely agree,) has said., Africa is indeed evolving.

Oh, wanted to mention that - the Bantu tribes did enslave both the Bushmen and other tribes. when the Matebele invaded the interior of what is today SouthAfrica, they did keep slaves from the Tswana and Sotho tribes.
