Very quickly... as inspired by Culture
The book of Genesis on slavery.
Genesis: 9:21-25 (New King James Version)
"Then he (Noah) drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness. So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him.
"Then he said, 'Cursed be Canaan;
A servant of servants
He shall be to his brethren.'"
This is just one example of how the Holy Bible - the moral foothold of the Western World - condones slavery.
Tomorrow: Slavery and the modern world.

The New York Times (www.nytimes.com) reports:
A trial for 11 Miami Police Officers involved in a shooting has begun.
These eleven officers are being tried on corruption and conspiracy charges in a federal court. Rogue officers are accused of shooting unarmed suspects, and then planting guns on the scene to cover up their actions. These officers were reported to be members of an elite street team known as "The Jump Out Boys." Before the team's disbandment, it operated in tough neighborhoods.
The eleven officers are accused of crossing the line in four different shootings, according to prosecutor Curtis Miner, an assistant United States attorney. The violations were brought to light because of two former officers who pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges related to the shootings and have agreed to break the "code of loyalty" and testify against their former co-workers.
The officers' lawyers claim that the defendants are scapegoats who merely were pracitcing aggresive police work to protect citizens of some of the most dangerous neighborhoods. They claim the charges are motivated for political reasons in response to several unfortunate but justified shootings and arrests dating back to the mid to late 1990's. According to authorities, these cases include the shooting of a 73 year-old man who was killed in an apartment raid during a drug investigation in 1996, and in the shooting of a homeless man who was shot in 1997 while carrying a radio that police officers later claimed was a gun.
State prosecutors and an internal Police Department review ruled the shootings to be justified. Outraged citizen advocates and civil rights leaders protested against the shootings, in which three black men were killed, and the white homeless man was injured. All eleven defendants are Hispanic, and defense lawyers say that their clients are victims of the racially charged pressure caused by the shootings.

Some statistics. Every single year, 500,000 children die from starvation , 11,000,000 children die from easily treatable diseases (called by the World Health Organization as "a silent genocide.")
According to The Culture of Make Believe,In America alone, in 1993, 614,000 American children were physically abused, 300,000 were sexually abused, 532,000 were emotionally abused, 507,000 were physically neglected, and 585,000 were emotionally neglected. 565,000 of these children were killed or seriously injured.
Every single day innocent people are killed by police officers based on their race, location, and unwarrented percieved threat. The point of this blog will be to provide information on the atrocities that is committed by the nations of the world and the people within. I will provide historical data about racism, racial attrocities, discrimination, and other terrible acts committed by man against man.
I do not know if I will be able to keep up with it all.
