African Bishop Condemns Violence Against Albinos

Breitbart: South African Bishop Sithembele Sipuka has denounced the epidemic of violence against albinos, calling on the African church to employ all its resources to bring the practice to an end.

Sipuka, the Catholic bishop of Mthatha and first vice president of the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM), said this week that the symposium condemns “all forms of violence against albinos,” from murders to mutilations to prejudiced attitudes.

In certain African countries like Tanzania, Malawi, and Mozambique, people with albinism — a congenital condition that leaves a person without pigmentation in their skin and hair — are often hunted and killed for their body parts, which can be sold for thousands of dollars and are used in witchcraft rituals.

Some witch doctors claim that bones and other body parts of albinos, especially children, can bring riches, success, power, or sexual conquest.

“It’s the mindset that needs to be changed,” Bishop Sipuka said, adding that superstitions against albinos are deeply rooted. read more

    Hollywood hasn’t caught up to the Albino rage yes. Albinos are the next “thing”.

    Soon, in a theater near you: Albino Vampires. Also, Night of the Living Albinos.
    For the romantically inclined: Albino Love Fever.

  3. Whell, the United Nations needs to put a stop to this violence against Albinos once and for all.

    If the UN can stop terrorists it certainly ought to be able to stop Albino hunters.

  4. Moe Tom, the character was “the albino”, the 4th man.

    Of course it was just a white guy in a tux, with a bleached flat top, and some Shuron Zyls. He was one of those fuckers at The Piano Bar. With Puddler. Scary mofos.

    As Lew Harper said, “You fish-eyed faggot!”

    No one would ever hire a real albino for film work. Do you know how much their body parts are worth?

  5. My grandma was a German albino. She and the other girls (also albino) were ferried over right before the second war kicked off.
    The head of the school/orphanage saw the writing on the wall and took action.
