Loading ...Witchdoctors in African countries are still chopping up albinos. The latest victim is a 10-year-old girl.
From SkyNews here:
At least 26 other albinos, mostly women and children, have been killed in different parts of the east African country of Tanzania over the past year.
Albinos lack melanin pigment in the skin, eyes and hair, which protects from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. But witch doctors believe they have magical powers to bring fortune.
Some families kill albino babies upon birth, Tanzanian authorities say.
And authorities in Kenya and Burundi, where albino killings have also been reported in recent months, have started to give added protection. Some reports say albino skin is prized in the Democratic Republic of Congo, another troubled African nation where superstition is high.
Did I mention that Barack Obama’s Grandfather used to make albino stews? And the NYTimes is doing their part for this crisis by handing out whistles to those that need sunblock and firearms.

I hear Obama has promised to increase foreign aid by three fold…much of it going to the hopeless continent of Africa. I don’t care how much of other peoples’ money you throw at Africa, you cannot help third-world savages who chop up other humans for their magical body parts.
