I always carry around an albino penis for good luck.

Being albino in Africa sucks

You know...

I think this is becoming a "slow news day" story.

We get one on Fark every 3 or 4 months or so.

Repeat.

Not amused...

If albino body parts are talismans (talismen?) of good fortune, why are the albinos so unlucky in life?

Something to do with missing their body parts?

Oh, and this seems like a good time for one of my favorite PJ O'Rourke quotes:
"Man developed in Africa. He has not continued to do so there."

Could be worse. In some parts of the world they still eat white people. Which reminds me of a joke:

Two cannibals are sitting down eating dinner when one says, "Man, I really hate my mother in-law. I can't stand that biatch!"
The other cannibal says, "Well then just eat the noodles."

I'd say just being in Africa is suck enough.

FTFA: witchdoctors claim albino body parts can bring wealth and good luck.

This is what you get with a 'faith-based' program...

"The hunt for Albinos is still on" is the best Fark-worthy headline I've read all week

/would have bought THAT T-shirt

Submitter is a moron.

If I had this albino's magical body parts I would surely call myself a wealthy, luck man.

My magical parts bring luck no matter what, so I call shenanigans.

I imagine being an albino anywhere sucks

shivashakti: Not amused...

That guy sounds like an ass :/

I went to highschool with a "black" albino. He was one of the freakiest looking people I have ever seen. He reminded me of those people in Omega Man. People used to call him white chocolate LOL,

Two cannibals are sitting down eating dinner when one says, "Man, I really hate my mother in-law. I can't stand that biatch!"
The other cannibal says, "Well then just eat the noodles."

Reminds me of the missionary who gave the natives their first taste of Christianity.

He's written some of the funniest nonfiction of the past 30 years. Writes for Rolling Stone, Car and Driver, has about 8 books. My favorite essay of his is titled "How To Drive Fast On Drugs While Getting Your Wing-Wang Squeezed And Not Spill Your Drink".

The quote that you seem butthurt about comes from his book "Holidays in Hell", which detail some of his travels, where he actually went to places to write about them. I'd recommend picking up a copy and having someone read it to you.

Ahh, so he was speaking ironically? Nevermind then, my bad; sorry about that

TNB, just plain TNB.

Albino: the other other white meat

Not to threadjack here, but ...

I'm definitely not much of a cultural relativist. It seems like they have some pretty extreme cultural/religious views. Albino blood appeases volcanos? And yet, in our country, we have the religious right complaining that their "rights" are being compromised. Maybe they should spend some time in Africa, and realize that it's a good idea for human rights to come before religious ones.

I feel really bad for those albino(e?)s.

i have a magic penis, or so i have told my girlfriend.

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Sorry, I have a ton of respect for people living in some of the less than welcoming parts of Africa. It is harder to cope than people realize without spending time there.

oh and P.J.is an ass.

What an albino may look like

Yes. They are still suffering from the effects of European white colonization which almost all of their current problems are a direct result of. To make matters worse, white people like to take underage anal rape vacations down there and call it a U.N. mission.

It wouldn't be so offensive if it weren't true.

SeamusFerrell:

I think it's a little more complicated than that; agree with the general idea, though.

Dude, Africa is just farked up in general.



Hate to say it, but it's true.



I'd have trouble being shocked if it was the president of one of those messed up countries that called for an albino roundup.

ironrat: What an albino may look like

OH MY GOD SHE CAN MOVE THINGS WITH HER MIND!

So white skin, blond hair and blue eyes is just one mutation away from being black.

So much for the Aryan master race.

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?

European colonization which has tried to bring civility. Poor Africa, which recieves more food/monetary aid than any other continent in the world by far. Yet they still don't have the ability to provide safe drinking water or establish any kind of prosperous country there, on their own, without the help of caucasians/mongoloids. South Africa's crime/murder rate has skyrocketed since the end of Apartheid. Savages? I think America waged genocide on the wrong people 150 years ago.

austerity101: Albino blood appeases volcanos?

Preposterous, everyone knows it's virgins.


...


Oh noes! Africa has run out of virgins!

Has Albino heritage:

TheMiddleFinger: European colonization which has tried to bring civility. Poor Africa

Oh fark you, it has raped and pillaged the land, shipped people out like cattle, used them as cannon fodder, etc.

Bring them civilSHUT UP. I bet you think invading Iraq and destroying its hospitals while protecting its oil derricks was about helping Iraqis and not about getting that sweet sweet oil money, you prick.

"Association of Handicapped Albino Youths of Cameroon and Africa (AJAHCA)."

Last I checked, Cameroon is in Africa. Not that it makes much less of a mouthful to say. Someone needs to learn to come up with better organization names.

In an unrelated note, I'm now recruiting for my Campaign to Fight Redundancy through Campaigning which Funds Fighting (CFRCFF).

The albino in the top picture is so cute. I want one. The kid next to him on the left looks like a punk.

I'd say there is more than just the skin colour.

That is sick. Are you seriously advocating the sale of human beings for profit? What is wrong with you? I can't believe you could write something so awful and ignorant after reading the above article. Human beings DO NOT deserve to be treated as commodities.


OK, which one of you is responsible for the trolling?

If by "raped and pillaged" you mean built railroads, farms, and hospitals, yeah sure, the whites "raped and pillaged" Africa. Dumbfark.

lol. That is amazing.

BokChoy: If by "raped and pillaged" you mean built railroads, farms, and hospitals,

You're really ignorant to the point where you don't know about the exploitation of resources and people in Africa?

You must be republican.

svenbertil: They might be pale but they do not look europid.

I figure a bunch of Albinos fled the body-part salesmen and blood thirsty volcanoes a few thousand years ago, found a climate where keeping your skin away from the sun was more convenient, and had babies while drifting away genetically long enough for bones and hair to change.

Redheads, however, were created by the devil ;-)

Human horn!
