Neo-African Negroes & Salvaging Humanity
Meet the new negroes. Move out of the United States and welcome your Nuba brothers and sisters of Darfur, Sudan to our singled out global family. The man has changed. He looks like you, he’s your countryman, and he’s slaughtered you and 15% the population in the last 3 years. And you thought you knew about black on black violence.
“Omar al Bashir told us that we should kill all the Nubas. There is no place here for the Negroes any more.” 1
The overwhelming international response, or more appropriately lack there of, suggests that the current situation in Darfur is complicated. Yet really, the state of affairs, although tragic, is quite simple. The Muslim Arab Janjaweed, comprised of Sudanese government forces and an ethnic militia, kill the Muslim “black” Nubas. To be specific, four hundred thousand of them since the third and latest wave of violence in 2003. The result? Over 2 million IDP’s 2 throughout Sudan, 218,000 refugees and counting (plus an insurgence of violence) in neighboring Chad, countless rapes and sexual assaults, while the international community plays Hasbro’s Taboo humanitarian style – don’t say genocide.
As the human race repeats never again for the 7th time since giving our word that an unspeakable act such as the Holocaust could occur no account promising to not revisit we , again and again (and again and again and again and again and again to be exact).

I think this is a start to what needs to be done about Darfur. But there needs to be way more about this genocide.
Its a sad state of affairs. i don’t know if anything can be done about it, the whole world is f’ed up.
