Superstition in Burundi/Tanzania etc. Africa, killing of Albino(s)

[PurpleTree]

So last week there was this case in the news

 

https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/africa/albino-child-killed-burundi-witchcraft-practices/

https://newsbeezer.com/colombiaeng/they-find-a-4-year-old-albino-boy-dismembered-they-would-have-killed-him-for-witchcraft-world/

 

how can these people still be so superstitious that they kill children and women etc. for witchcraft, superstition, luck etc.

is the antidote to these things just education?

"“We are also calling for stronger protections for albinos in this country because everyone I spoke to and their families are afraid and do not dare to leave their homes,”

in my pre-kindergarten (or whatever it's called) there was an african albino kid

i just remember one time he threw pillows out of the window and then jumped out of the window and broke his leg because he tried to imitate batman

everybody in pre-kindergarten talked about it, he became like a legend

i think that was my only interaction, nice kid

pretty "interesting" that some people like to make 25 topics about joe rogan, whoopy, roseanne etc. for example

"oh noes he said such and such, he's soooo dangerous" "oh he hurt my feelings, silence him"

but here innocent people and babies literally get slaughtered by lunatics and it's just................crickets      

obviously the two aren't really comparable, this here is so much worse and less easy to talk about also it's much easier and more fun to dish out at someone like rogan but it's still certainly weird......

 

outrage/woke culture is weird i don't even understand it

@Thestarguitarist14 would you have more fukcs to give if the people doing the slaughterings were white?

I hope they get peace and protection. 

Looks like endangered groups of people.

A woman from Somalia told me about this stiff a few years ago, bizzare.
