One-time lo-fi, underground, mentally unstable indie darling sells her soul to the evil empire. Lord knows why.

Enduring 10 times worse? Are you kidding me?!

How can you tell that you're a yank. Jesus.

"We have BILLIONARES that won't give a penny"

AFRICA DOESN'T HAVE BILLIONAIRES! Well, I'm sure there are a few. And I'm sure they're all white.

Get your head out of your ethnocentrical ass, and take a look around you dirty Bast.

And I'm so fucking tired of this America only cares about oil, Israel, and money. I'm no ignorant rah, rah patriotic apologist for the USA, but what the hell you think drives other countries foreign policy? What do other countries want from US? Access to our consumer markets! Ya think the Chinese are building roads in Africa (with all Chinese crews btw) to help their infrastructure and mobility? They do it so they ship Africa's mineral wealth back to China.

There is middle ground. YES De Beers is doing awful things in Africa, as are the foremen and soldiers who hack children. NO Cat Power is not evil for singing the song. I always wanted her to record a full length cover, but I don't blame her for not doing it. Who wants to be called a baby killer?

[MrUnbiasedTruth]

If Cat Power is to Blame, then so are all the women I've met that want nice juicy diamonds for engagement rings. (And let's not forget Paris, and Kobe's Wife)

Maybe that diamond necklace only cost a 7yo boy an arm, and his mother raped while his father was killed in front of him. The only reason they finally did something about this was because of image.. DeBeers! How much of the profits from diamond mining has helped the African countries that mine them? Don't like it?> Don't read it. Don't think about it. You saw a few images in a video clip. Poor you. A million+ people watched horrific things done firsthand or had it happen TO THEM!

[babyfacenc]

AND YOUR GOVERNMENT SAYS AND DOES WHAT ABOUT THIS? btw it took about 20 years of this before the united states took any real action towards what they knew about 15 years or so earlier. Welcome the the country that don't give a f-- about you unless you spew oil or your name is Israel. Where is the conscience in our leaders? spend a f-- TRILLION on Iraq and Afghanistan and ZERO towards a country of people enslaved, limbs cut off by a rogue army, systematically raped, killed, and tortured. :-p

@fibijoe2 You're right. You're the only person in the whole world who cares for those children. What a good person you are.

De Beers and Anglo American are doing nothing but helping Africans get jobs, not destroying Africa. Do you know how much worse Africa would be without foreign investment? The great nations Canada, United States, and Australia were all developed by foreign investment and colonization.
