FRANCIS BOK unfolded his wiry, 6-foot-7-inch frame from the chair on the stage of the auditorium that serves Polytechnic Institute and Western High School. He strode to the microphone and told a group of 1,000 students from nearly a dozen private and public secondary schools his tale of terror.

Yes, Arab militiamen abducted him from his Dinka village in the Bahr al-Ghazal region of the African nation of Sudan in 1986, when he was 7 years old. They killed his parents and two sisters, and gave Bok to an Arab family. Yes, the Arab family did beat him and call him, repeatedly, Abeid, abeid -- Arabic for "black slave" -- and made him sleep with livestock. They did it because -- Bok was told, after repeatedly asking why he was so abused -- Dinkas were animals.

Are these evil, Satan worshiping Arabs good for anything except a source of oil ???

[Paul Atreides]

Perhaps these are the people Cynthia McKinney was wanting to help with that $10 million check.

Somehow, I think not.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson should go to the Sudan immediately and straighten this out.

[spindoctor]

I hear Sharpton is in Israel shamelessly promoting himself. I can't imagine what need Israel would have for him. But they can keep him if they want him.

But they can keep him if they want him.

I've got it! Tell 'ol Sharpy that if he tries to re-enter the USA he'll be arrested as a known terrorist sympathiser!

Aren't there also muslim blacks in the north of Sudan in the regime,murdering christian blacks in the south?Same in Nigeria.But somehow all these black people here think it's cool to be muslim...the same muslims 200 years ago were the ones that kidnapped them and sold them to slavery here.

[rebdov]

How could we possibly insult Islam? Those blacks were probably asking to be enslaved. Anyway it's Israel's fault.
