Earl Lloyd, First Black NBA Player, Gets Honor At Hawks Game
Is Whitney Houston Joining 'The X Factor'?
Thousands of fans are at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa waiting for their favorite team to score.
Others are looking to score themselves, with prostitutes who have traveled from all over the world (as well as those in South Africa) looking to do business with the nearly 450,000 mostly male fans.According to an article, South Africa's Drug Central Authority estimates 40,000 sex workers are on duty round-the-clock for the post-game activities. "Stop 2010 Human Trafficking," a project organized by a nonprofit Christian alliance in South Africa, puts the numbers much higher and warned this week that as many as 100,000 women could fall victim to traffickers during the World Cup. Some say they don't trust the numbers, although similar numbers were given for the number of sex workers in the 2006 World Cup in Germany and far less attended.
Human trafficking, the commercial trading of people (often underage women) for sexual exploitation or forced labor, is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world. The total annual revenue for trafficking humans is estimated to be between $5 billion and $9 billion U.S. dollars.
The United States is not immune to the problem but in previous years refused to undergo the scrutiny to be included in the report. This year, President Obama has insisted that the United States, which is estimated to have about 100,000 people trafficked annually, be included in the report.
Part of the danger is that more than 1 in 10 South Africans live with HIV; among prostitutes that rate reaches one in four. In response to being under the global microscope, FIFA has committed to dispensing 1 billion condoms in the stadiums, which South African President Jacob Zuma requested for the major sporting event.
South Africa not only has one of the highest HIV rates in the world, it has one of the highest rates of rape, making it one of the most dangerous places for female and child sex workers in the world during this time.
It's rare that the men purchasing prostitutes are arrested. Do you think the onus should be put on the fans who come to buy sex from prostitutes, the government of South Africa, FIFA or the prostitutes themselves?

I am uncertain how aids came about, But in the last stage it has the same affect as some type of cancer, If it's true about it being man made to wipe out the black race, You must have forgotten how YOUR race craves the BLACK RACE? Now it's everybody problem, Inever bought into the theory that it originated in AFRICA, How many AMERICAN BLACKS come in contact with AFRICAN BLACKS????

Yes it's all being cooked up in secret laboratories all around the world. But you can beat them at their own evil game. All you have to do is disguise yourself as a white person. Michael Jackson did this for years until they found out and killed him. In his movie, This Is It, Jackson has hidden secret messages in code that explain in detail not only how to become white, but how to change your sex. I will reveal where to look for the clues in a future post. In the meantime practice speaking and acting white. Do this for your children. Oh and one more thing... stop frequenting fried chicken joints. It's a dead giveaway.

I'm not sure if HIV/AIDS is man-made, but I am sure that monkeys carry a similiar virus in them, and it is called SIV. How did the monkeys get SIV?
