Slavery alive and well in Brazil NEW!
Although slavery officially ended in Brazil in the latter half of the 19th century, it continues unofficially now in the 21st century. A recent report from the Folha de Sao Paulo revealed that today over 10,000 workers live in conditions of slavery. Most of those cases are in the North and Northeast parts of the country. In the state of Para alone, the Ministry of Work has received 75 complaints which involve some 3,000 workers, double the number of persons from last year's report.
Brother Henri des Roziers, the coordinator of the Catholic Church's Land Commission in Para, says that he calls daily to the Ministry of Work office to demand that the government investigate these cases. "What they tell me is that the investigations, which already were few in number, have been suspended because of lack of funding," commented des Roziers. Employees of the Ministry of Work recently reported to officials that their teams of investigators (which were formed as a result of international pressure) have been dismantled. They also reported that when they had teams, investigation was very difficult as the regional governmental officials barred or made very difficult their work.
In Para, slave labor is utilized in the lumber and cattle industry. Recruiters go to various points in the cities and promise a salary of R$400 (US$275) per month. As the workers are already in a state of misery, they accept the offer and go, not even knowing that they are already in debt for the trip to the locale of employment. Once they arrive, they find that they have to buy food at exorbitant prices and soon accumulate more debt. They are threatened with death if they try to flee. Most of the sites are far away from roads and highways, making coming and going very difficult. Besides hard labor, the workers also live in subhuman housing conditions, often lack potable water, and lack nutritious and sufficient food.
But the problem is not limited to Para. Tocantins, Maranhao, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Rio Grande do Sul: all have serious cases of slave labor pending. In the city of Sao Paulo there is even a case of enslavement of undocumented Bolivians who have come to Brazil in search of employment. According to the report, two problems exacerbate slave labor: high unemployment and impunity for those who exploit the workers. Between 1995 and 2002, the government has freed 4,900 "slaves." Over 1,000 have been freed this year alone. However, more often than not, the landowner or employer simply goes in search of more workers and repeats the actions. To date, not one "employer" is serving time in prison for exploitation of workers.

The botton line is as long as humanity exists, so will racism and prejudice.
There will never be a time in history when we will all get along...
Prejudice is human nature....I'm not excusing it but facts are facts...
You can either get the fuck over it and learn to deal w/it or let it affect you and thus use it as a crutch to justify your shortcomings....
Agreed, much like the rest of the thread.

I haven't seen anything that connected the white kid that had been severely beaten to him being the one that participated in the noose hanging. Nothing in the news whatsoever. In fact, they state that they were suspended and or expelled. So if they weren't there, who did the 6 beat up?This is where the media is portraying things wrongly.

Dominican. You have been weighed, you have been measured and you have been found wanting.
You debate is pointless. They are criminals, evidence has been looked at. It has been proven (In your home country now it seems) that blacks enslave other blacks and now you are just shooting blanks into the wind.
As Paul Harvey would say, "and THAT is the rest of the story" Good day.

My debate is pointless? Please provide me with an outline of my debate and your counter-points. Do you even know what my original debate was about?
How long did it take for you to come up with that one?
Rich...Bob...Stan...?????
I'm pretty sure everyone that went off-topic had already posted a response to the issue. We then argued points that you, yourself brought into the argument, such as "blacks can't be racist" or something along those lines.

According to you I'm on welfare.
According to you those six boys don't merit a reconsideration on the imposed and soon to be pressed charges because they're not worth your shitty tax dollars.
Listen to yourself you worthless shitbag, putting your money infront of human lives.
Ohs Nos! He did not go there!
YES HE DID!

As a Dominican, were your ancestors slaves in the south? I really don't know and don't feel like using Google to look.
Nobody here has a perfect debate and if you don't like mine work with it and prove me wrong. Some of the stuff I've posted is opinion other things fact. If you don't like my opinions, fine, your entitled to think what you want but throwing in insults along the way is pointless and makes you look like an idiot.
the white students never hit any of the black students,and the white students were suspenned from school.........so where do think its ok to beat somebody up for that?
Are you kidding, as a Dominican, his great-great grandparents probably owned Haitian slaves.
