No one cares except christian missionaries and Steve Malzberg. Actually he may well be the only one I've heard really address slavery in the Sudan. BTW did you know that if you have a Israeli visa stamped on your passport you CANNOT visit the Sudan? I wonder how they felt actually buying two slaves and setting them free? That must have been the greatest rush, if I may be so ignorant with words.

American slavery was one of histoys greatest crime?
Not for nothing: but why is that? What makes slavery in America a WORSE crime than the THOUSANDS of years of slavery that preceded it, or for that matter the slavery that has been practiced in other countries since american abolition and to this very day? One can refer to slavery grenerically and be understood to be speaking of the United States. Funny, since the humans enslaved in America's history don't amount to one one hundreth of one percenrt of the enslaved in world history TO THIS VERY DAY. Oh, sorry, there I go repeating myself. I'm sick of "slavery" I don't care about it anymore, I don't want to hear about it any more, at least until OTHER infamies in history get at least as much as an airing. We can start with the potato famine of the mid 19th century!
