| Egyptian slavery is as old as the pyramids and though it was banned in the 1870s under British pressure, it has never entirely gone away. The first independent Muslim ruler of Egypt relied on black slaves and at his death is said to have left 24,000 (white) Mamaluks and 45,000 Nubian military slaves. In north Africa the source of black slaves from Nubia and Sudan were too convenient to ignore. At the time of the Fatimid defeat, in the twelfth century, black troops formed the majority of the army. By the fifteenth century black military slaves were being favored with the use in battle of firearms

And when eventually these slaves are freed, they will receive what? Forty grains of sand and a camel?

Totally expected. When is some clued-in reporter going to ask BO why he and his admin. finance through foreign aid, debt-forgiveness, graft and kick backs numerous countries that promote and engage in slavery and human trafficking? And, how can he allow any financial contributions to the UN and IMF when the do not reject such activity and continue to finance regimes that engage such activity.
And, this is not unique to Africa. It is all over the ME and all of Asia.
Meanwhile, he, his black sychophants, his white guilt supporters, the black caucases (sp?), every angry black special interest group, idiot liberal celebrities, athletes and politicians and the rest of the blacks in the country are screaming slavery and racism that occured over 150 years ago and demanding that we now pay for it.
All the while the ignore completely what is occurring all over the world and for a lot longer than what the US conducted.
Should make a condition that every one who receives affirmative action has to volunteer for so many months in an African nation.

Ahhhhhh...spring. Arab spring, that is.
What a wonderful, diverse world we live in, where all cultures are equal.
Even racist, murderous, 12th century, backward, homocidal, maniacal cultures.
These are just some of the ´riches´ that liberalism brings us.
All hail our lord and savior, Kenya Boy!

Dear Whoopie Goldberg,
To answer your question, ´´Do I have to be worried about becoming a slave again?´´ The answer is: yes, you do and the ones responsible are your brethren, the Egyptians.
Hey, don´t blame us - we voted for the Republican.

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
