There Are More Than 9 Million Slaves in Africa Today. Do Black Lives Matter Only When the Oppressor Is White?

Via Cousin John

 

There are approximately 9 million men, women, and children living in modern slavery throughout Africa, according to a report issued by the Australia-based Walk Free Foundation.

The foundation’s Global Slavery Index revealed there is an estimate of 9,240,000 enslaved across the continent, living as forced labourers, forced prostitutes, child soldiers, and as child brides in forced marriages.

According to the report, Africa has the highest rate of prevalence for enslavement, with 7.6 people living in slavery for every 1,000 people in the region. The report also revealed that the rate of forced marriage (4.8 victims per 1,000 people) was higher than the rate of forced labour (2.8 victims per 1,000 people).

  1. Black lives matter only when there is a buck to be made. Just like animal preservation and conservation. All things only white people care about.

  2. BLM is just a facade for the commies to work under. Make no mistake this is the soft beginnings of all out war.

    1. It might have been at one time. They are certainly following the communist playbook. It's as if they haven't heard that communism failed. They just don't know that they are following instructions laid out by people who don't care anymore.

      Read today that a monument complainer wanted to take down Winston Churchill's statue but didn't know anything about him. Figures.

    3. Yes, I just saw it reported yesterday that the Communist Party USA endorsed "Black Lives Matter". I don't expect them to disavow the slavery and mass murder that endorsement represents and--it won't matter. --Ron W
