  1. The only way to create lasting change in the slave industry is to supprt the Catholic Church. The Catholic churches educated the people, housed them, fed them, started up businesses where they could work and make money doing something other than prostitute, fight and kill each other. If you are sincerely looking for a solution for poverty in Ethiopia, Senegal etc, you will find it in the Catholic Church.

  2. You can't just ban assault weapons. You have to do something about educating the side of our family that has no connection to the Catholic Church. The John Browning family needs help rehabilitating from their lifestyle of sale of weapons to poor uneducated people. I don't see this situation changing until Jesus Christ reaches Michael Browning and his family. Their money comes from the sale of guns.

  3. Yeah, that sounds familiar. Africa was depicted as dark and uncivilized. But then, I had no access to the film Cleopatra, where we see the other side of this human family: the ultra civilized and educated side of the Caesars.

  4. While slavery was being a bustling and sordid industry on the West coast of Africa, we need to document in the media how Ethiopia was being just as horrific in its treatment of slaves in and around the Red Sea area. The Christians of Ethiopia worked hand-in-hand with the Muslims in making slavery a most profitable inhumane system; Ethiopia was the main and most energetic conduit for shipping fellow Ethiopians and neighboring Africans as slaves throughout the Indian Ocean basin and in the Persian Gulf domain.

  5. I live in a community that has a lot of West Africa/East Africans. There’s one common saying “we love Africa, but do not trust Africans”. Until Africans can build a unify country, Africa will always be stuck in the past. BTW, this host lady is full of sh*t.
