Millions of men, women and children around the world are forced to lead lives as slaves. Although this exploitation is often not called slavery, the conditions are the same. People are sold like objects, forced to work for little or no pay and are at the mercy of their 'employers'.
Slavery exists today despite the fact that it is banned in most of the countries where it is practised. It is also prohibited by the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 1956 UN Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, the Slave Trade and Institutions and Practices Similar to Slavery. Women from eastern Europe are bonded into prostitution, children are trafficked between West African countries and men are forced to work as slaves on Brazilian agricultural estates. Contemporary slavery takes various forms and affects people of all ages, sex and race.

Women and children are kidnapped everyday and sold into slavery particulary for sexual exploitation.

Do you think that people are not afraid to show it because this is an internet site and there is some anonymity? I am shocked in this day and age at some of the opinions I read here.

Don't get me wrong, everyone has a right to their opinion and to speak their mind. I respect that. I'm just wondering because I don't run into this many blatantly racist people in my real life!

This is the first time I have been really attracted to a man who was already attached- when he looks at me with that intense gaze I get dizzy-this has been going on for a year- I have been trying to avoid him- I have suddenly realized I am at an age where most of the men around me are married, and yet so many of them don't act like it. Given the high divorce rate, and the number of people silently suffocating in their marriage, why do people bother getting married at all? Should marriage be the exception, rather than the rule? If not, why do married men keep looking- why do men want to cheat?

Okay, basically everything is owned by the Government and every food and material based industry is governement controlled. Entertainment is controlled by the people. The Gov. gives out food and clothes for work done depending on family size and need. Family size and need would have to be checked regulary, but hey.

Why are White Men and Black Women in this country so racist against interracial relationships between African American Men and White Women? A European girlfriend of mine asked me one day, “Why are White Men and Black Women in this country so racist?” And she went on to say, “I notice they both hate to see African American men and White Women in interracial relationships.” I first laughed a bit because she was not the only person who had asked me that question; I also laughed because White Men and Black Women probably isn’t aware that many other cultures notice this. I explained to her why a large percentage of White Guys – not all – but a large majority are so angry about this; and why it’s a cultural norm for Black Women to be angry about this. I told her that men, by nature are attracted to femininity - and women, by nature are attracted to masculinity. White, Asian and other cultures of women have an innocence and a femininity that Black Women don’t have and can’t compete with because it’s been taken away from them and they’ve been hardened by their experience throughout history; and African American Men have a style, a rhythm, a sexuality and a masculinity that racially-competitive White Men and many other cultures of men don’t have and can’t compete with. I’ve traveled to many countries and noticed African American Rap and R&B music to be very popular and being played on many of the radio stations in those countries. This music, style and unique form of masculinity is very popular and it attracts women (as well as allot of the very pretty and beautiful ones) from many different cultures and it makes many macho-racially-competitive men who are incapable of assimilating or competing with it very jealous. The relationships between African American Men and White and Asian Women is a natural attraction of masculinity and femininity as well as compatibility.
