Persons with albinism in Africa are being killed and their body parts harvested for ritual purposes

    I read about this quite a while ago.

    I'll just say that I have a nephew with albinism and let you guess what I thought of and how I felt about this obscene practice.

    Unfortunately, albinism is not only a condition of skin pigmentation, although that is the most obvious indication. Nonetheless, and unsurprisingly, however, albinism among blacks can be even more difficult to understand and deal with within society, and I can, horribly, imagine something like this happening in undeveloped areas of Africa.
