Ignorance compounded by superstition...superstition compounded by ignorance...

Wouldn't anyone be terrified of a broom if they know it will be flying towards them?!

Makes you wonder what support people with learning and mental disabilities go through in these parts.

I still see this type of ignorance in Ja, as recently as 7 months ago...although there was support from a few that understood what the individual was under, but this was made difficult by the many who had ignorant views.

Part of dealing with it in Africa is for the outside world to continuosly express disgust...

You are absolutely right. Puts the intention of the poster in question. While I do not expect someone not of African dicent to be capable of having a dual insight to an African context. The strands should be ashamed of themselves.

England has their own weird predjudices like with &quot; gingers.&quot; I've always thought that red hair was rare and cool, and yet in England for some it's seen as reason to persecute and despise a person. There's some thing wrong with you if you hate someone because of the way they look.

If everyone in the world had the same colour skin, people with ginger hair would be denied job opportunities, have an disproportionate arrest rate/prison population and be discriminated against in numerous ways.
