[@amyturner6275]

Yes I cried so much watching this .We get so hung up about our bodies and looks and look what this boy has to face and gets attacked on top of it all! He is keeping calm and carrying on I pray a very bright future for these gorgeous gifts of God as children are gifts. I also feel God let it happen to show us that it's simply a chemical called melatonine and we need to stop being judgmental of color

[@amyturner6275]

What a disgusting way to speak about another human, stop you are simply wrong

[@verarain5968]

WeroNoYume that’s what it is, it’s not that they are albino but the person that’s doing it to them, if we make it to be aware of those sorts of dangerous approaches then we will hopefully be helped. They are exactly the same as everyone else. No luckily or not. Sorry albino people, you are just like me and everyone else sorry!

[@comfybed]

i literally am actually crying bc it hurt my heart to see a child who wasn’t just born deformed bc that’s one thing, but instead mutilated for some greedy killers & ridiculous beliefs, yet he draws so well & found how to adapt. that’s so lovely in its own way but entirely upsetting… i am in no way religious or spiritual but it’s like do whatever you want IF IT DOES NOT HARM ANYONE ELSE. speechless but not surprised there’s such cruelty in the world; no matter where. i wish i could like take every single albino out of that country, even move the entire community that surrounds them so they won’t lose those connections… if only. can the billionaires of this fkn world help do more actual meaningful things thanks !!! i went into this video not expecting what was to come bc it showed up in suggestions so i clicked outta curiosity & i was fine just observing until the drawing 😭 & just imagining the pain he went through during the mutilation is going to sit w me for a while

[@loro3849]

I once had a student with this anomaly. I happened to find a beautiful picture of an albino peacock. I printed out a copy for her. My hope was that she would be able to identify with its beauty. Years later I ran into her and she told me that she still had the photo. i hope it was an encouragement .

It's awesome that other non-albino Africans in the area are taking it into their own hands to protect and educate the albino children

[@samaraisnt]

but it's mostly because Albino people are still an oppressed (large) minority. All the people in any form of power, that includes advocates--were not Albino. That means that Albinos are not afforded power. The adult albinos he did talk to lived in extreme poverty. Notice that not one teacher was Albino, it's probably rare.

It's amazing how widespread this belief in magic is. I taught a student fresh from Malawi, and one day he told me that he loved being the US because he was able to show that he was smart without worrying. I told him that I was glad that he was happy here, but I was confused - why worry? He told me that in his home town if a student was very smart then they either were accused of having used witchcraft to steal their intelligence from other people (i.e. blamed for someone's mental disabilities) or a witch would try to steal their intelligence using magic. He then said, 100% serious, "It's great - Americans don't know how to do the magic."

As well as other African countries too. I like how he made the point to point out that reducing demand will reduce the motivation for people to supply albino parts.

Black babies were ised for alligator bait on the sputh.

[@andreamuller9009]

@@damnskippy7220 African people with albinism are black people! Their unusual skin color is only the result of a combination of genes ... both parents must have these genes, otherwise there will be no albino children. The possibility that two normal-looking parents will have an albino child (if both have these genes) is 1: 4. With such a high rate of people with albinism in the Tanzanian population, it can be assumed that a large number of people carry these genes. It is therefore important to accept that these people with albinism are just another (one of many) color variants that black people can have ... and should therefore be treated as normal like everyone else. They are not aliens or anything like that ! They are humans and part of society! .... and they arise from the genetic variations of the respective population. In addition, it is important to uncover the machinations of people without scruples, who enrich themselves at the expense of the suffering or death of other people, on the basis of an old superstition. And yes, in other African countries it also affects children with dark skin tone, who are simply stolen by so-called witch doctors because it is said that it is lucky to put parts of the body of children in the foundation of a newly built house. Because such sick people don't care what skin color someone is, they just want to make money! This is definitely also worth a second documentary .... to expose the machinations of this child trafficking .... and thus denounce these witch doctors and the buyers of these human body parts .... and educate people how wrong that is. For that, you sometimes have to put your finger directly into the wound ... so that we cry out in horror in our hearts ... the same applies if children were actually fed to crocodiles as you say ... Children are most precious to us, in every country, no matter where we live or what skin color we have ... It is not for nothing that all children are related to all people in the world, as the saying goes ... normal people think that way .... But there are some people who are simply sick in their heads in their greed for money .... and that makes them evil in their hearts .... By the way, not only in Africa, you can find such people everywhere . To show how abnormally they act destroys their business!
