The fact that people in parts of Africa own slaves

times.

Well, now, we are talking about today, not thousands of years ago, etc.

What other countries have slaves today. I'm sure there may be a few if
you look real hard.

Today, black people have black slaves in Mauritania, southwest of
Algeria.

I knew there would be another savage place that had slavery. I'm sure
they have doo doo too.
