I can believe that stat about pedophiles, but respectfully, this stuff about Arabs and slavery sounds like something more appropriate for 1608 and not 2008. There is still a slave trade in Africa but:

1) It's is very small compared to what it used to be. This is no excuse and it's still an international human crisis but it's still relatively small and has little impact on African-Americans.

2) Europeans are the main parties involved in the slave trade these days. Africans themselves are the ones who sell people as slaves in the black market. So let's no excuse Africans selling out their own people by blaming it all on Arabs who don't even do most of the slave-catching anymore, or even the buying. Most human trafficking in Africa is sold to European countries or the US (I'm sure a few African-Americans are even guilty of buying trafficked African servants).

3) Phrasing it the way Chevron Dove did just allows white people to go "Oh yeah! Those dirty A-rabs! How dare they?! Shame on them!" while conveniently excusing their own participation in the trade. Similar to how some racist or clueless white people try to excuse white participation in slavery by playing up the fact that African sold the slaves to Europeans originally or that some black Freedmen in the US bought African slaves.

4) The US is involved in African human trafficking, so why use the US to punish all Arab peoples in general for some shit that involves only a few thousand Africans, Europeans and Arabs? As if the US Empire is in some moral position to arbiter punishment. Not only that but to punish an entire race for the actions of a few. I would hate to see the day when African-Americans start relying on the Empire to hurt people we perceive to be our "enemies".
