You realize that this is a forum for discussion, or debate, or just shooting the shit, right? The link below, via google, to CNN about FACEBOOK.

Facebook under fire for posts on auction of child bride https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/20/africa/south-sudan-child-bride-facebook-auction-intl/index.html

QUOTE: "An auction was discussed on the social media platform for a girl aged 16 or 17 in South Sudan that sought payment for her hand in marriage. Facebook said the post was taken down as soon as the company learned of it, but that wasn't until after the girl involved was married. According to children's rights organization Plan International, the girl was bid on by five men, some of whom were reportedly high-ranking South Sudanese government officials."

EDITED TO ADD THIS PORTION: "Activists are concerned that this auction -- for which the father reportedly received 500 cows, three cars and $10,000 in exchange for his daughter -- could inspire other families to use *social media sites to receive larger payments."*

Should these African's not share in black pride because of slavery, or is this part of their pride? I would like to add here, that like whites, not all blacks are the same; there are differences in culture, and I guess more, not sure. I do know that the black folk I grew up around, had their I believe it was 'clicks'

It isn't used that way.

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

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.
