In October 2006, Niger announced that it would deport to Chad the "Diffa Arabs", Arabs living in the Diffa region of eastern Niger.[39] Their population numbered about 150,000.[40] While the government was rounding up Arabs in preparation for the deportation, two girls died, reportedly after fleeing government forces, and three women suffered miscarriages. Niger's government eventually suspended their controversial decision to deport the Arabs.[41][42]

In Niger, while the practice of slavery was outlawed in 2003, a study has found that more than 800,000 people are still slaves, almost 8% of the population.[43][44] Slavery dates back centuries in Niger and was criminalised after five years of lobbying by Anti-Slavery International and Nigerian human-rights group, Timidria.[45]

It seems that racism is more prevalent in Africa than the UK.
 
There is an update link below the map in that Washington Times article. An academic points out issues with the data they used. Definitely puts context around the data and kudos to the WT for publishing and linking to it in their original article.

Ok...but Pakistani people...Racist or not?

My wife had to get rid of a Pakistani who came to her company, the long term employees who were Indian were targetted by the Pakistani, and the hostility was palpable all the time. They are constantly at loggerheads with Indians, both in India and the ones who have been lucky enough to have come to the UK. I can even feel the constrained hostility in some posts on these forums, towards India and Israel from those I have discovered to be Pakistanis.

Do you have a coherent point to make here? Especially with regards to the topic being discussed?

Dumping in some youtube video with no other comment is rather pointless, is there any particular reason I should watch it? Are you able to articulate a brief point?
 
It's actually a fairly democratic society, probably more so than the USA with the two party system.

Poverty is the main issue, and they would be a lot richer if the USA hadn't imposed lots of restrictions in them.

What does the fact they have elections have to do with anything I posted or even the topic of the thread? total reach to claim they're more democratic than the US though that's perhaps got a subjective element and is going rather off-topic and quite a wild take vs the views of various NGOs/human rights orgnaistations.

They're a communist country and for the first time in several decades no longer ruled by Castro or his brother, they're currently having some mass unrest which is being cracked down on harshly, as you'd expect in a communist country.

The point, re: the thread, is the response of BLM towards this police violence towards black people - they don't seem to be too fussed, they're instead critical of the US and its embargo & mention food and medicines (which aren't actually embargoed by the US).

Get woke?

This was in the 90s and 2000s not 100s of years ago.

So you tell me , who are the racist groups at play here? Why is kidnapping, abduction, rape etc. Such a common theme?

I dont see this going on in the UK.

You probably don't see many british soldiers on active duty in the UK either, go and look at what they get up to when they're in the same war torn countries.

I'd agree with your point about them seemingly not caring about the police violence against black people (and they're rightly getting flamed in the comments) but the point about the embargo is weak, the embargo has been linked numerous times to shortages in the country, including medicine and food.

What are you talking about now?

British soldiers taking 100,000s of slaves? British soldiers raping women and children to convert them to a new religion? Hardly.

So democratic that that thousands of Cubans risked their lives and the lives of their families trying to float to Florida on homemade rafts.

Stay on topic!!11 this thread is just for dumping embedded tweets and raging about them!!1
 
some woken content (what's the conjugation)

Olympic committee relaxed rule 50/political gestures, albeit no audiences for Tokyo
beyond the knee, interesting what Uyghur/HK/palestine/climate gestures maybe introduced, presumably extends to Winter olympics,

https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210714-activist-athletes-ready-to-test-olympic-rule-book
..
Fifty-three years after Tommie Smith and John Carlos's iconic medal podium protest in Mexico City, a new generation of activist athletes is poised to take centre-stage at the Tokyo Olympics.
US sprinters Smith and Carlos faced the ultimate sanction for their black-gloved salute of defiance in 1968, expelled from the Games in disgrace and returning home to be greeted by widespread opprobrium.
....
Berry, sanctioned by the USOPC in 2019, says she will have no hesitation about protesting if she wins a medal in Tokyo.
The 32-year-old staged a protest at last month's US track and field trials in Oregon, turning away from the US flag as "The Star-Spangled Banner" played during a medal ceremony.
"When I get there I will figure out something," Berry said after clinching her place on the team for Tokyo. "What I need to do is speak for my community, represent my community, and help my community, because it is so much more important than sport."
The IOC however has declined to walk back its Rule 50. While updated guidelines released on July 2 said athletes could now protest peacefully prior to competition, any kind of demonstration on the podium remains forbidden.
What is unclear, however, is how any athletes protesting during a medal ceremony will be sanctioned.
The updated IOC rules say that disciplinary consequences will be "proportionate to the level of disruption and the degree to which the infraction is not compatible with Olympic values."
That leaves a substantial degree of wiggle room for the IOC, with sanctions essentially determined by a subjective standard.

Please see below some facts of the day

No such thing as the gender pay gap (in the context of women being paid less than a man for the same work)

There are only two genders (male and female)

Woke nonsense from the radical left is one of the biggest threats to equality. The Dutch have started putting quotas on male/female in board positions. What do quotas lead to? Inequality. But we must overcompensate for inequalities in the past..
