Relax, I was referring to the title, not the article itself.Just to play devil's advocate, why is someone immune from criticism just because they're a "black academic"? Who's the racist again?

I know you are not insane enough to believe that legalized prostitution would reduce the demand for child sex slaves but that seems to be what you are saying. The ones who want children are not affected by making adult prostitution legal.We could be like Amsterdam. Just think, we would still having pimps abusing prostitutes and we would have a high sex tourism bring in millions. We could build parks and provide more money for entitlements. We could hold competitions between cities for the mostest in sexual gratification. Won't it just be luverly.I have not missed any point. The point you make is ludicrous. There is still child prostitution in Amsterdam. Child Prostitution in the Netherlands [I hope this not too long for you.] "The number of Dutch children working in prostitution has increased dramatically over the past five years: from 4,000 to 15,000 according to figures published by the Amsterdam-based ChildRight organization.""Most children that end up in prostitution in the Netherlands are boys or young under aged asylum-seekers – particularly Nigerian girls. ChildRight claims this group numbers some 5,000 children. But recent years have seen a significant rise on the number of Dutch girls forced into the sex industry. Among them are an estimated 5,000 runaway or homeless children, many of whom are mentally retarded. Another large group (also 5,000) are ‘ordinary' Dutch schoolgirls, aged 13 or 14 from a "regular home environment" who are lured into prostitution by so-called "lover-boys"." Perhaps we in the U.S.A. can import minor Latino girls from Central America and Mexico. Oh, we are already doing that.Legalization has apparently worked just fine in Amsterdam. Are you going to miss this larger point...mate?
You have a grip on fantasy in the theory that legalization of prostitution reducing child prostitution. I have shown that not to be true. You do not seem to want to hear or see the truth. Legalized prostitution reducing child prostitution is not a truth, rather it is a monstrous fallacy. It does nothing to curb that activity. So if it is your contention, as you have stated, that legalized prostitution would solve a myriad of problems then you are not living in the real world. The only problem I could see it solving is a protection for the idiotic men who desire such activity. Nothing more. Protecting the perverted and stupid. What a goal.
The Constitution was changed, birthers. You're wrong AGAIN.Following the Civil War and the abolition of slavery by the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (1865), the three-fifths clause was rendered moot. Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (1868) later superseded Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3.
I don't think you know what modern slavery is..... There is another side of this world that is just soo dark, and people at very young ages become sex slaves, and it just gets worse for them, darker for them. I don't think you know what its like to have your entire life with nothing positive in it, no positive outlook for the future, and knowing you may or may not end up dead in some gutter in some city, or killed in some snuff film, etc etc.. you would cringe in uncomfort if you were confronted with the dark side of this world we live in.. Trust me, kids dying in gang violence is something on the surface... you would think nothing else worse could happen, but it does..
they're all definitions of slavery.. 2 and 3 are have serious implications. In both examples the person doesn't have a choice. The 3rd example gives you the illusion that such a person caught in it had a choice.

The Constitution still says that. Believe me, you can find people who still have problems with that to this day.
