  A 14-year-old girl traveled to the United States from her native Cameroon in 1996 to live with a couple in hopes of education and a better life, but prosecutors say the girl's trip to Michigan turned into a nightmare.
  There was no school and no opportunity, only years of involuntary servitude, occasional beatings and even sexual assault, they said.
  The couple accused of mistreating the girl, Joseph and Evelyn Djoumessi, were to go on trial in Oakland County Circuit Court on felony charges. Jury selection was set to begin Friday. Joseph Djoumessi, 44, is charged with kidnapping, conspiracy to kidnap, two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, third-degree criminal sexual conduct and child abuse. His wife, 36, is charged with kidnapping and conspiracy to kidnap.

• Senegal's Wade Says Slavery Reparations 'Absurd'
  DAKAR (Reuters) - Senegal's President Abdoulaye Wade on Saturday stepped into a diplomatic row ahead of a United Nations conference on racism, saying the idea of reparations for the African slave trade was absurd. He noted there were African peoples who had sold slaves. ``Should they also pay up?'' he asked. ``Some of us have forbears who may not have sold slaves, but had slaves in their armies. I am talking about my own ancestors, who had 10,000 soldiers at that time, of which two thirds were slaves.'' (reader link)

  All this puts something of a damper on the assumption that slavery was a sin specific or "peculiar" to the American South. The slaves had been Africans who were sold to European merchants by other Africans who had enslaved them in the first place. Several of Africa's proudest empires were built on the sale of slaves. For centuries Africa's chief export was human beings. When Congresswoman Maxine Waters speaks of "my African ancestors' struggle for freedom," she doesn't know what she's talking about. Slavery was an African institution long before it spread to the South, and there was no abolition movement to trouble it. When Europe banned the slave trade, African economies reeled.

• America's Original Sin - by Linda Chavez
  If it were possible to wipe out the legacy of slavery by writing a big, fat check, I'd be all for it. Who wouldn't be in favor of a simple solution to the problems that plague much of the African American community in America today -- especially since all of us are affected, not just blacks? Imagine, a one-time payment that would solve family breakdown, poverty and homicide among young, black males. But there are no easy solutions, and the payment of reparations to the descendants of slaves certainly isn't the answer. It's just more of the same liberal cure-all: Let government redistribute money from one group to try to solve the problems of another. (Teutonland link)

Get your reparations (bottom of page)

"Reparations for slavery?" The more I think about it, the more I believe it might not be such a bad idea.

You see, back in the middle 1870s, my paternal grandfather (note: there's not even one "great" in front of that word) was brought to this country as an "indentured servant" to work in the lead mines of Colorado. He was called an indentured servant for two reasons: 1) at that time, slavery had only recently been abolished in the United States, and 2) his face was white. Nevertheless, he was sold into bondage.

Some members of the family say it was by his own hand. Others of us doubt that the signature of a 16-year-old boy would have been taken as legally binding and that it was done by a member or members of his own family. This was a practice that was still not all that uncommon back in those days, in Europe as well as Africa.

Be that as it may, you can bet your life that when the government starts handing our reparations for slavery, I'm going to be standing in the line with my hand out.
