It is sad. Very sad.

Probably not many, but that should remind us that cultures differ and that we need to understand that immigrants who come here may bring a few undesirable cultural traits with them.
It was a really good story, but it leaves open the question of why she would not leave, even when he told her she ought to. Was it just because staying with them was so engrained that it seemed better than trying to make it on her own?

Lola is Filipino for 'Grandmother'. My SIL is from the Philippines, and yes, things like this did, and do happen.
It is horrifying that it still exists. And it's not just in foreign countries, which makes it all the worse.

I think it was democrats who morphed Southern secession as justification for Civil War to an exaggerated heroic moral conflict for purpose of "free the blacks", which endures -- albeit as less than half truth -- to this day. False or not, it has been a powerful political lie that goes unacknowledged in national politics and probably always will. It is suicide but we still have the play-by-play. African blacks are among the biggest slavers on the planet. Slave trade has been Africa's main industry for eons.

Even a half-truth that is historically documented holds more weight than empty opinion on a message board.
“Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”
- Jefferson Davis
