Through research I found the Hebrew or Latin meaning of those names.
And I personally see it as inappropriate to call Yakub's movement revenge on the black man because it was necessary to enable evolutionary progress. It's true that the black man had to be removed from power, by a man who will automatically be seen as superior. Everywhere in Africa today where theres's social progress, is areas where whites went in and segregated. When the white man goes in and oppresses blacks they pull themselves more together and straighten up. In parts where blacks are ruling independently and have all along, the institutions of idolatry and chattel slavery still stands untouched by time.
You should read Francis Bok's book: Escape From Slavery. The way it is in Sudan amongst black people is unbelievable. Bok is presently a free man living in Connecticut. There's thousands of Africans trying to flee the inhumanities of their country right now.
Glad to know Pele is doing alright. I never had the honor of seeing him play but I guess that goes for every generation. My kids will never have seen Michael Jordan play either.
SIMI VALLEY Calif. (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to announce a series of executive actions on immigration issues before the end of the year, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said on Saturday, a move that could anger Republican lawmakers.
Johnson told a conference at the Reagan Presidential Library that the current immigration system had serious problems and reforms were clearly needed. Given the failure of Congress to pass legislation, the Obama administration could resolve some issues under existing legal authorities, he said.
Johnson provided few details but said the executive actions would be comprehensive and would include measures aimed at strengthening border security.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hoping to build off recent bans in Europe and India, opponents of animal testing for cosmetics plan to make a big push for a similar prohibition in the United States. The effort could be a tough sell in a Republican-controlled Congress.
Virginia Democrat Don Beyer is expected to take the lead on the issue when the new Congress convenes next January. He is succeeding retiring Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., who has introduced legislation that would prohibit testing cosmetic products on animals, as well as the sale of any new cosmetics if the final product or any component was developed using animal testing.
"The United States must be a world leader and not a follower," Beyer told supporters in a campaign email highlighting the issue. His state is home to several cosmetic companies, such as Tri Tech Laboratories of Lynchburg, a custom manufacturer of personal care products.
Last year, the European Union banned the sale of new cosmetic products containing ingredients tested on animals, and India followed with a similar ban.
Sara Amundson, executive director of the Humane Society Legislative Fund, called the Moran bill a "marker" to build political support, with a sustained lobbying effort to follow next year. To date, more than 140 cosmetic companies have endorsed the bill, including Paul Mitchell, the Body Shop and LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics.
PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar feels the combined Opposition’s threats, made in their initial response to his decision to prorogue Parliament, can only be solidified if they win the next general election – something he is confident will not happen.
(Reuters) - Two Palestinians armed with a meat cleaver and a gun killed four people in a Jerusalem synagogue on Tuesday before being shot dead by police, the deadliest such incident in six years in the holy city amid a surge in religious conflict.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to respond with a "heavy hand", and again accused Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of inciting violence in Jerusalem.
Abbas condemned the attack, which comes after a month of unrest fueled in part by a dispute over Jerusalem's holiest shrine.
A worshipper at the morning service in the Kehillat Bnei Torah synagogue in an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of West Jerusalem said about 25 people were praying when shooting broke out.
"I looked up and saw someone shooting people at point-blank range. Then someone came in with what looked like a butcher's knife and he went wild," the witness, Yosef Posternak, told Israel Radio.
