Recently, the media has highlighted the genocide that occurred in Darfur, Sudan. Darfur, Sudan, is a country roughly the size of the state of Texas (Darfur Scores, n.d.). Genocide is the systematic killing of an entire ethnic group belonging to a national, ethnic or religious group, or an attempt to eliminate them all (Darfur Scores, nd). Beginning around 2003, according to Darfur Scores (n.d.), "the Sudanese government in Khartoum and the government-sponsored Janjaweed militia resorted to rape, displacement, organized starvation, threats against aid workers, and mass killings." . Violence, disease and displacement continue to kill thousands of innocent Darfurians every month. Genocide begins when the target group is dehumanized, the beginning of non-Arab black Africa. Dehumanization occurred long before Britain's colonization of Sudan. During the Sudanese slave trade, slavery for the purpose of forced labor was almost reserved for black Africans. In black communities, men were called mukluk and women mistresses. About four years resulted in the deaths of four to five million Africans. Genocide is often seen as the product of military conflict. However, genocide is the destruction of a group's ability to produce itself; to provide resources to feed one's children and young adults and to protect oneself from both the brutality of law enforcement authorities, it can be argued that colorblind racism exceeds. According to Darfur Scores (nd) “The genocide in Darfur cost 400,000 lives. lives and displaced more than 2,500,000 people. More than a hundred people continue to die every day; five thousand die every month. In Sudan, civilians continued to die due to a deliberate and random increase.
