Tanzanian albinos targeted for their body parts

Albinos in Dodoma in Tanzania are being targeted by criminals thanks to a burgeoning trade in their body parts. The albinos, who suffer from a lack of skin pigmentation, are believed by witch doctors to hold magical powers which makes their body parts valuable for use in medicine. A severed arm or leg from an albino can reportedly fetch in the region of £1000, and while the law has changed to punish those involved in the attacks with the death penalty, the risk is still great enough that many albino children live in refuges to ensure their safety.

@omgucrazy What would you prefer me call niggers? Animals? Uncivilized? Violent? Theives? Uneducated? How can you even stand up for niggers haha. Seriously, look at these tanzanian niggers LOL. They are going to kill a white nigger for his "magic organs" and take them back to his shitty little nigger den. (You know those shitty nigger huts made of mud and straw which rodents are capable of making)

@Pvjinflight omg again i said SOME things *like this!* have got to go. not all.

@vickersfan I dont know about rebels. In many countries government is extremely corrupted and not any better than those rebels. Of course some rebels may be fighting for good, for example apartheid would still be there without rebellion (though it was not that violent).

Magical powers? witch doctors? you see this is why I have a problem with spiritual/religious beliefs been thought as a virtue. When it's thought as a virtue some horrible things can result as some greatly terrible things can be seen as justified in the eyes of those whom see it as a virtue. I respect beliefs but people should not tell their kids that their beliefs are actually factual when it's not, people can believe as they may but no kids should be told that a belief system is fact if its not
