Hollywood, CA (LifeNews.com) -- John and Cindy McCain appeared on the women's television show, "The View" on Friday morning and the hosts asked the pair questions about abortion. The show is known for its pro-abortion activism, with co-host Whoopi Goldberg a longtime member of the Planned Parenthood board of advisors. During the program, Goldberg attacked McCain on his saying he would appoint judges who wouldn't make up the law from the bench. "Should I be worried about being a slave or a return to slavery," Goldberg asked incredulously.

Designer claims unhappy customer got assaulted, now wants to sue When a 25-year-old Manhattan graduate student who was assaulted Tuesday night got dressed that morning, she probably didn’t anticipate that her T-shirt would provoke four teens into shoving her, pulling out her earphones and spitting in her face. Then again, with a shirt sporting the slogan, “Obama is my slave,” it may have been wise to consider the possibility. Now she’s suing the $69 shirt’s designer, Apollo Braun, for “all he’s got,” the designer claims. But the Israeli-born Braun — born Doron Braunshtein — says what allegedly happened to his...

Consider the following quotation: "In Mecklenburg at this time a very primitive type of Feudalism existed, known as "Inherited Serfdom". The land owners controlled the economy and ruled their estates with absolute authority. The peasants were dependant entirely on the nobles who could even buy and sell them with or without their property, and the tax rate had to be reviewed every two to three years, and was usually increased at that time. They could not acquire any more land than they already had. Their Landlords produced crops for export from their vast estates by using the labour of these...

Note the blogger’s use of low-class “Black English” to denigrate Black Democrats who support Clinton. This site is under Barack Obama’s editorial control, and a posting like this is entirely consistent with his own Black identity politics or even Black Nationalist politics; the African-American counterpart of the Stormfront White Nationalist Community.

Skyra is a runaway Mauritanian slave. Her earliest childhood memories are of fetching water, tending animals and cooking and cleaning. "I was tied up all night and all day. They only untied me so I could do my chores. In the end I could barely move my limbs." She never earnt a single penny. "All those years," she told me, "and I don't even own a goat". Mohamed could not tell me his surname or his age. As a slave he didn't own the right to either. But in a candlelit shack in the sandy outskirts of the capital, Nouakchott,...

What keeps you busy? With all of our so called “technological” advances, you don’t really have more time for yourself, do you? Admit it! None of us do. Most of the blessings of Western Civilization don’t feel like blessings. When your boss calls you on your cell phone on a Saturday for a status report, you flinch at your caller ID. When the “self checkout kiosk” at your local Home Depot can’t seem to read the bar code on your new ceiling fan, you sigh at the clerk. “A little help over here!” you say, with a tone of superior...

South Bend council president accepts apology, calls words 'wrong.' INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana's secretary of state asked forgiveness Monday for evoking images of slavery in describing black voting trends during a Republican event in southern Indiana last week. During a Thursday speech at the Daviess County annual Lincoln Day Dinner, Republican Secretary of State Todd Rokita said 90 percent of blacks vote Democrat and questioned why. "How can that be?" Rokita was quoted as saying by the Washington Times-Herald. "90 to 10. Who's the master and who's the slave in that relationship? How can that be healthy?" Several black lawmakers expressed...

Islam’s involvement in the black slave trade goes back over 14 centuries, back to its founder, Mohammed, who owned black slaves. Muslim slavers in North Africa also engaged in a red hot trade of white Christians. Read this fascinating, you-won’t-see-it-anywhere-else romp through reality by FSM Contributing Editor Adrian Morgan who explains what politically-correct history books conveniently ignore. (CAIR: care to apologize?) Should The Islamic World Apologize For Slavery? – Part One By Adrian Morgan For members of Britain's politically correct establishment, this week has been one of hand wringing and embarrassing gestures of self-abasement. On Saturday, March 24, a procession...

Islamic and Christian historians have called for a number of Muslim states to apologise for their part in the slave trade during a live radio debate. The programme, broadcast on Premier Christian Radio, featured Islamic expert and lecturer, Anthony McRoy and ex-Christian and Islamic convert, the author Abdul-Haq al-Ashanti. The debate began with McRoy explaining how North African Islamic states raided European countries for slaves, and have yet to apologise for these actions. "It's essential that all states that ever engaged in this nefarious activity [slavery] should themselves apologise. I think there is a special case for the North African...

On a plantation just outside the Jamaican capital, Kingston, we watched workers with long machetes slice down towering stalks of sugar cane with industrial precision. Sugar is still harvested by hand, when it is too wet for machines The crop is only harvested by hand on modern plantations when it rains and today there is a steady drizzle. Usually machines do the graft. But for more than 300 years until the early 19th century the machines were African slaves. Men, women and children were overworked and brutalised. Cruelty and torture meant as many as a third of all slaves...

Quakers started the British campaign against the slave trade and invented modern campaigning, championing the petition and the consumer boycott, and mastering the use of images and logos. Not that they like to shout about it. It is perhaps the defining image of the battle to end the slave trade. Not a picture of a shackled slave, or some gruesome punishment, but a cross-section of a ship. It is a ship packed so full that the mind boggles at the sheer logistics of inhumanity. The engraving of the Brookes, fully-loaded, slave ship The use of the engraving of the...
