The New Face of American Imperialism

How sweet it is to know that my people are better than your people, my God better than your god, my wife better than yours, my everything better than your everything. Take my way of life and be redeemed from your damned life. This is what the West has consistently done to the rest of us. This is also what the rest of us do to the rest of us. Anyway, besides the historical facts of economic and cultural conquests orchestrated by the West, there is now a new wave of religious influence emanating from the US and spreading to Africa.

10,000 Albinos In Hiding After Killings In East Africa

I don't usually cry when I read about ugly incidents in the news, but this one got me real bad. Believe it or not, I shed tears. The reason is that I know what it means to be the unwanted one, what it means to be despised by others. More devastatingly, for the African soul, I know that belief in witchery and all forms of dark-souled superstition is still rife in many corners of Africa. Who would have believed that the killing of albinos is generally tolerated much more believing that their body parts have some healing power? But in Igboland, some occultists believe that some people's body parts have some potency. Talk of the urgent need of enlightenment.
