Darfur Genocide Daniel Willis Intro to the Holocaust Southern Nazarene University 2/17/15 Darfur Genocide This essay covers chapter 17 of the book “Century of Genocide” by Samuel Totten. Darfur has been at war since 2003 with mass killings, rape and pillaging still going on to this day. Darfur is a region located in west Sudan roughly the size of France. The region is comprised of three separate states, Northern Darfur, Western Darfur and Southern Darfur. Most of the inhabitants of Darfur are self-proclaimed Muslims made up of “black African tribes” and Arab tribes.
Indians did not want to own domestic animals since livestock husbandry did not fit easily with native practices, the adoption of livestock would alter women’s lives by affecting the traditional division of labor since women were mainly responsible of agriculture production. And the settlers free ranging livestock (mostly pigs and hogs) were feasting on their corn farms. Animal husbandry also challenged native beliefs and practices, since their mental universe assumed no distinction between human and animal being. Instead of recognizing the incompatibility of English and Indian subsystem regimes, colonial authorities permitted joint use of land, which was doomed to fail by the problems that arose from livestock on hunting lands. In 1640 Massachusetts law required settlers to help their fellow Indian neighbors, but this friendly gesture was coupled with stern provisos.
Simon Legree, the novel’s antagonist slave driver, became the archetypal Southern figure for whom Northerners felt much contempt. Northerners, relying much more on industry than agriculture, had for a long time been against slavery as a violation of human rights and as a waning economic practice overdue to become obsolete in the United States. Uncle Tom’s Cabin intensified these ideas through its emotional portrayal of black slaves as sufferers to evil white men.
This dissertation is on Chapter 4 Response of The Government to The Black Panther Party, War against the Panthers: A Study of Repression in America University of California, Santa Cruz by Huey Percy Newton. Huey Percy Newton discusses how the Black Panther Party was formed in America in 1966 as an organization made up of Black and poor people embracing a common ideology identified by its proponents as revolutionary intercommunalism.

The F.B.I as well as the government did not like what the Black Panther Party believed in; the main purpose of the Black Panther Party was
Ferguson & Baltimore, Segregation to Separation: Prophecy Coming To Pass It is unfortunate that, the violent racial riots in Ferguson and Baltimore, that occurred after the death of clearly innocent Black youth, has diverted the public debate to ‘need for better policing’. The casualty has been obfuscation more fundamental issues like; century-old public policy of systematic social segregation, increasing economic inequality, and wholesale abdication by the state of social welfare obligations Century-Old Systematic Segregation According to The University of Chicago’s sociologist, Douglas S. Massey, “Housing segregation is both a consequence and a cause of Black poverty. Housing markets distribute not only a place to live, but they
Martin Luther King's Use of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos In the 1950s and 1960s, racism was a widely accepted belief throughout the United States. African Americans were strongly discriminated against as an inferior race. Dr. Martin Luther King, a local African American pastor, took it upon himself to lead the movement for equal rights for the Negro community. He began with bus boycotts and created the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLS). When a local judge wanted to put a stop to the protesting, Martin Luther King was arrested and sent to the Birmingham City Jail.

Around 6 million people live in Darfur with around 100 tribes ever since the massive drought in 2003 the government and rebel forces have been in an all-out war which is why the election of Sudanese president Omar al Bashir led to mass killings and oppression In 2003, two Darfur rebel movements- the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM)- took up arms against the Sudanese government (united human rights) “genocide”.

Indigenous Holocaust Webster’s dictionary defines genocide as “the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group.” When thinking of some genocide’s a few come to mind; the Holocaust, Rwanda, and Armenian are the most well known. But when it comes to slavery in America during the 1840s it is pushed to the side. Americans often see this as a dark time in their history but few, if any, consider this to be genocide. The question is why? Slavery in America should be considered genocide because it systematically broke down the social, political and economic structure of African Americans.
Jane Doe African & Latino Studies 12/6/13 America’s Corruption: The beginning Colonists built America on the bones and decimation of the African culture by creating a new culture based on oppression. Whipping, raping, cutting the of body parts of Africans; the colonists were no different from Christopher Columbus. They are our forefathers, who started the corruption in a nation we call “free”. Where is the justice, when black men were considered 1/5th of the population and black women were used for breeding and as a means of sexual relief? The psychological impact of oppression on the African society has been pressed into their descendents mental state as the African descendents are facing prejudice behavior generation after generation.
For example, racial profiling is considered to be a form of stereotyping and discrimination, which fuels the injustice of racial inequality – racism. There are countless examples from centuries past and up to now that support claims of racial discrimination amongst minority groups. For example, “during the eras of lynching in the South in the 19th and early 20th centuries and the civil rights movement in the 1950's and 1960's, southern sheriffs sat idly by while racists like the Ku Klux Klan terrorized African Americans (ACLU, 2013).” More recently, another example is “the targeting that has been ongoing since the September 11th attacks, of Arabs, Muslims and South Asians for detention on minor immigrant violations in the absence of any connection to the attacks on the World Trade Center or the Pentagon (ACLU,
