for over nine years, i have been going into south darfur with south underground railroad negotiating the release of christian slaves and others. jihad is very real. we need to be more than vigilant. i think that we need to be proactive. i think that not many of you in this room knew that gjihad was declared in 1983 against the south. to this day 35,000 men, women and children are still enslaved there. although the leader is wanted by the icc, this administration has not delegitamatized the leader in the region and i suspect the people will be next. but actually perpetrated that against the christian south for 23 years before it became free. we must be more than ridvigilan. >> thank you pastor. >> well, maybe i want to comment shortly because i fully subscribe to everything the pastor said. but there is one more thing that we can do. and this is what i describe in my book, "marked for death". there is an organization a dangerous but powerful organization called the oic. the organization of islamic countries. as a matter of fact the oic is the largest voting bloc e ing i united nations

and this was the snap that i came up with" "yo mama is like darfur.lly wants to help her." yeah. snaps competition, pretty much over. it was then just me standing awkwardly by myself. not even father plappenger will touch me. that was the thing, though, when i was a kid, when i was growing up, like, that was one of those things-- you had to be good at snaps. like, if you weren't, you weren't black. and when i was growing up, there was all this pressure to be black. maybe not if you were chinese, but for me, it was something i felt. and you had to fit this idea of what black was, so you had, like, you had to do snaps, and you had to play basketball, and you had to love hip-hop, and maybe at some point you applied to be in the crips. like, you didn't have to get in, but at least they have your resume on file. you know. you had to be so black that your big [bleep] had a big [bleep] of its own, and if you weren't that black, people were like, "oh, you're a sell-out. you're an oreo." and that's the term for a black person who's considered a sell-out, 'caus

as true when someone like richard gere takes a good dad or via sir takes the chinese policies in darfurwere. this scares a resonance to the issue that we would not normally see. and in the case of north korea, we haven't had that. we haven't had an individual that does that. now i think one of the things we are seeing more as and their stories of this in the book as well if americans are learning more about the story that some defectors getting out of north korea. there have been several books written recently about the fact durso flies and manage to escape, telling stories. and i think that certainly helps. but still, compared to other cases of human rights, we just don't see the same sort of precedent with regard to the issue. >> host: you know, that they're testing defeat sure of north korea sakura to have an impact on the human rights observations by the international communities. north korea has been on described to become a nuclear weapons state. i think that's particularly interesting when we look at iraq you were in the bush administration for part of the time the this issue was

had slid slowly and completely down my leg while i had been teaching puddling inexorable ingalls darfur at my feet. [laughter] now, i'm going to spare you the david blaine maneuvering that occurred to remedy the situation but suffice it to say that moment is forever in the minds of those seventh graders. [laughter] to or asking yourself when his lunch and why does she start with a really embarrassing story? i start because the story reminds us sometime in education we get so focused on what we are doing, we get so caught up in what we think is the right course of action that we fail to see some important truths that are staring us right in the face. for too long of a time, this nation has been obsessed with high-stakes testing and the results they bring. [applause] results which can bring devastating consequences and enormous pride to schools but this test result cannot tell you if my teaching was masterful. they can't tell you if my students are knowledgeable and they can't tell if our schools are strong. these tests cannot be what drives decision making and education, and yet -- [appl

somebody like richard gear takes up china policy in darfur. it gives a issue that you don't mt. case of north korea we haven't had a individual that doze that. one of the things we're seeing more of and there's stories of the in the book, americans are earning more about the stories of some of these defectors that are getting out of north korea. there have been several books that are been written recently about detectors who left who managed to escape telling their story opinions i think that certainly helps. by north korea has been, you know, on the drive to becoming a state. and i think that's particularly interesting when you look at iraq, you're in the bush administration for part of the time that this, you know, issue was playing out, and, you know, it turns out that, you know, we decided to attack iraq wrowt recounting the whole history are why the bush administration went into iraq. that was in the area of responsibility, so i'm not really capable of commenting on that. but thing the case of north korea, there are two, i think two issues. the puzzle is why iraq and not wh

to this day, 35,000 men, women, and children are still enslaved in darfur, in cordovan, and in the north, although omar bashir is wanted by the i.c.c., this administration has not delegit tiesed the person conducting not only a genocide in darfur currently for a year and in the blue nile region, and i suspect the people will be next. but actually perpetrated that against the christian south for 23 years before it became free. we must be more than vigilant. >> thank you, pastor. how about over here, please? >> maybe i want to comment shortly, because i fully subscribe that everything she said. but there is one more thing we can do, and this is what i also describe in my book, is that there is an organization, a very dangerous, but powerful international organization called the o.i.c., the organization of islamist conference. islamist countries subscribe to that organization. as a matter of fact, this o.i.c. is the largest voting bloc in the united nations today. they made a declaration about human rights in cairo, the so-called cairo declaration, and this organization states in this cairo
