You realize that this is a forum for discussion, or debate, or just shooting the shit, right?

It isn't used that way.

Should these African's not share in black pride because of slavery, or is this part of their pride?

Ideally I should not have to care. If they ask my permission I'd tell them no.

It's pretty clear that the Sudanese who auctioned his daughter off to the highest bidder benefited greatly from the facebook media attention. While the actual auction didn't happen on facebook, the site aided in driving the price for a living human being up so high, that the fear was that all Sudanese, or others would be using it as a promotion tool.....

Or it was a PsyOp to manipulate public perception.

That would be my guess.

The auction wasn't real? Modern slavery is a real thing, or do you also say psyop to that?

PsyOps don't leave links, but then again, most people think there's an approved link somewhere all the time.

It doesn't need to be real or fake to be a PsyOp.

It just needs to be viral so that is noticed.

Oh shit, we've got someone who doesn't know they're participating in a thread in a forum.....

I've read countless posts on this site, people all stating they want to make a 'difference', that they want to perhaps steer public debate with I would presume ideas discussed.

I actually appreciate the negativity, and lack of any meaningful commitment on your part for this. It's given me an idea, on furthering an idea, that will probably go nowhere, BUT, it's a positive idea at a means to realize equality, void of any subjugation of any group, which by way of common sense, isn't real equality.
