Slavery Still Exists. Where’s Black Lives Matter? - Leftist hypocrisy revealed once again.
FrontPage Mag ^ | July 6, 2020 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 07/06/2020 10:29:02 AM PDT by Perseverando

It is, or ought to be, clear to everyone by now that Black Lives Matter is not a genuine movement for racial justice and a more equitable society, but a Marxist organization using real, exaggerated, and imagined racial injustice to try to destroy the United States. Anyone who is still in doubt about this should consider the fact that some blacks are still enslaved today, and Black Lives Matter never has and never will say a word about it, because that organization doesn’t really care about black lives.

If they did actually care about the lives of black people, Black Lives Matter would today be drawing international attention to statements made recently by the Mauritanian anti-slavery activist Maryam Bint Al-Sheikh of the Initiative for the Resurgence of the Abolitionist Movement (IRA). According to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Maryam Bint Al-Sheikh stated in a June 18 interview: “Unfortunately, there is still slavery in Mauritania. More than 20% of people in Mauritania suffer from slavery – a situation where a person owns another person and does whatever he wants with him at any given moment. This situation exists here in Mauritania, unfortunately.”

Al-Sheikh further explained that slaves are often even “bequeathed from father to son. A person can own a slave and when that person dies, his children inherit the slave, who is later bequeathed to the grandchildren. This thing exists in Mauritania, unfortunately.” Even worse, “anyone who speaks out is considered a criminal whose natural place in in jail. Until not so long ago, [whoever spoke up] would have been killed.”

As an anti-slavery activist, Al-Sheikh has experienced this herself: “I was arrested and tortured multiple times. I was tortured both mentally and physically. The last time I was arrested, I had a 1.5-year-old .

Islam still condones and practices slavery.

But the left has made common cause with Islam to bring down the USA.

HOORAY Robert Spencer! The gang/collective doesn’t care. They have IMMEDIATE goals they are focused on. They will not be disturbed.

PREPARE to act UNCIVILIZED toward the UNCIVIL.

Civilization

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.

The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.

Everybody THINKS slavery was ABOLISHED in the US by the 13th Amendment. It wasn’t:

TEXT:

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

There’s an ‘except’ in there....................

Africans quite often converted to Islam thinking that the Arab Muslim slave traders would leave them alone. No such luck, Arab Muslims look down on blacks who say they are Muslim. Africans even resorted to putting tribal scars on their faces thinking that the Arabs wouldn’t want them if they were disfigured, no such luck with that either. There was an ancient Arab historian who said that it was thought that gorrillas could talk but didn’t so that the Arabs wouldn’t enslave them. The historian concluded that gorillas were smarter than Africans.

I read somewhere recently an article about the "Red, Green, Black" alliance.

Because for the Left, what matters is not whom they care about, it’s whom they hate.

And BLM is demonstrably indifferent to the murders of black children in Chicago. It is a total fraud.

"BLACK LIVES MATTER" DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT 'BLACK LIVES' (unless the black person is killed by a cop - so the death can be used as an excuse to destroy cities)...

BLM just wants the money and the power. Then they can buy their own slaves, or just enslave from the barrel of a gun (their gun.)

George Soros doesn’t need an excuse to support subversive groups. However, he should be held financially responsible for the damages inflicted by the groups he is sponsoring.

Black lives matter only when it is useful for the Leftist agenda.

Not to mention the slave labor in China that fills the coffers of Nike, Apple, etc... that African Americans benefit by (and show no interest in boycotting or protesting.)
