Actually, I'm fascinated that American blacks aren't outraged by the blacks being enslaved in North Africa by Muslims, black, and Arab.  I am, but no one in charge wants to offend the Muslims by saying anything.  

This is the hidden content, please

Are they offended that white South African land owners are being forced by their govt to give up their land or be murdered?

If a white South African immigrates to the US do we call them African American?

I'm sure the Liberals will spin this somehow as deserving reparations. This is pure speculation on my part, due to my inability to perform mental gymnastics to make facts twist to fit a narrative. I wish I had that ability to enable me to live a unapologetic life where statements and actions have zero consequences, and only some facts are relative not matter how pertinent they are.

As I mentioned I am a christian seventh day adventist or sda.  So is Dr Ben Carson.  I first heard of Dr Carson twenty + years ago.  Back then he was the favorite son of black seventh day adventists and adventists in general, who knew of him.   No one outside of SDAs knew of him. 

Dr Carson never spoke much in and around the church at large.  There are other black SDAs who are just as talented and educated as Dr Carson, who did preach.  They got in trouble for it.  I am thinking particularly of a Dr Eric Walsh.  Adventists preach a very bible based,, straight forward message.  It is not a very popular message but a truthful one.

12 year old boys are enslaved in the congo by european cocoa farmers.  All the major chocolate manufacturers are behind this: hersheys, nestles, all of them.

Same thing with your smart phones, and digital cameras.  There's a precious metal that is found in the congro area.  Children are forced to work in the mines 12 to 14 hours a day.

The answer is not Trump.  The answer is not the Pope.  You won't find the answer is Breibart, Fox news or CNN.  Jesus is coming back soon.

Let's set the record straight...you (or anyone else) has no idea when.

As far as "the answer", I don't know of anyone that thinks these news outlets are the answer, they simply report the news.

This post was interesting, and disturbing, so I looked up some info on it.  Katanga, which appears to be the main mining area, has 75 processing plants (that use child labor) and 60 were owned by China.  And China ends up with most of those precious metals.  Of course, that's where all the smart phones and other tech products are made.  

According to what I read, 40% (48,000,000) children from 5-14 are involved in Labor in the Congo.  Even 30,000 are soldiers.  Main cause is poverty, which surprises me, since they have so much of these precious metals.  Sadly, I suppose a few of the "high up" Govt officials in the Congo are getting rich, while the rest live in poverty.  That part is not unique to the Congo.  Throughout history, to few in power look out for the people they represent, or rule.

I never said I knew when.  Per Jesus only God knows when.  But, in Matthew 16:3 Jesus Christ scolds the people around Him, and it applies to our day, for not knowing the signs of the times.

Check it:

Matthew 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

The signs of the times are happening all around us.

I have checked it...I know it as well as you, I'm sure.

Important thing is to be ready.

No complains about Boko Haram (muslims) murdering men and enslaving the women and children as sex slaves, but let an American company use them for labor, we'll that's unacceptable. I am not proud of this, but you don't really care about slavery. This is just your opportunity to take your shot at America and white people. Your insincerity is despicable.

      REL actually improved this year to 6-4 which was remarkable because like you said, they had a lot of injuries and their bench was thin before that.  It’s crazy how the smallest of the 3 GCCISD High Schools finds a way to at least field a team that can hold their own but you’re right that coaching is one aspect of it.  Not that they’re a top 150 team or even close to it but if they’d lost a couple less guys there’s a real chance they could have beat Texas City and gone to at least the 1st round of playoffs this year which for GCCISD football might as well be State for how hard it is for them.   You’re spot-on about GCM and RSS coaches.  GCM coach is 2-28 over 3 years and RSS coach is 15-45 over 6.  Hard to get kids to participate in what they know from the outset is a losing proposition.  I watched the GCM/NS Game.  I was worried someone would get hurt, felt sick.  All 22 of NS starters are high level D1 Commits, QB is 19 years old, and GCM lined up a bunch of Sophomores against them, kids that aren’t even old enough to drive.     I know GCCISD wouldn’t ever do it but they really ought to stop insisting that the 3 High Schools play each other for their first 2 out of conference games.  At least let GCM out of it.  All 3 schools are in different Classifications so the wins don’t matter except for bragging rights around town and with REL winning both those games every season all it does is kill morale before the first District game is even played.  Let GCM schedule some OOC games on their level like Houston Sterling/Sam Houston/Chavez for their first 3.  That way there’s a good chance even if they lose every District game they could end up 3-7 and if they beat Channelview 4-6.  GCM having to lose to RSS and REL to start their season every year is just a killer.   You want to know why all the talent at EF Green Jr doesn’t show up at GCM?  Because that talent transfers to North Shore after 8th grade is done.  Straight-up.  They don’t care if you know either.  Those kids moms get on Facebook and brag about it.  Of course, most of those kids end up so far back on the depth chart that by Sophomore year they want to transfer back just so they can get to play at all but then you run into the eligibility thing.    Anyway, sorry for the off-topic tangent, this is a BH thread.

      They are very good. Really good shooting guard that's '6"3. Also have a do it all forward that's '6"5. He does everything for them. Score, rebound, defend. Maybe not as quick overall as those other teams, but I think they will at least make state semifinals.

      What’s your take on brookeland?  How do they compare to those teams in the late 90s early 2000s?
