@youngbuck189 Discrimmination isn't just between white and black, Europe and Africa. Everybody knows and wants to help the discrimmination against black americans, but what about muslims, black WOMEN, native Americans, Latinoes, Africans, Albinos, Hindus etc. As for racism, Let's us not mention the New Black Panther party, nation of Islam, the Black Hebrew Israelites, New African Republic, etc. Not to mention what they are doing to albinos here.

@TheLonePantheist Think outside the crayon box while the entire Western world is inundated with explicitlly racist media and imagery. Sorry, I want to end racism and inequality, not ignore it or make excuses for it.

@youngbuck189 Look up the Yoruba (west Africa) god Obatala, god of the white cloth and protector of albinos. He is the oldest "white deity" (called because of the color of his robe, shield and bracelet) and is the maker of human bodies.

Think I am making it up? Look for yourselves, he is also worshipped in Haiti and Trinidad and elsewhere. If this upsets you than maybe it is time you stop associating yourself with a color. Think outside the crayon box.

Albinos are said to be the blessed children of the Yoruba (West African) god Obatala, king/god of the white cloth. Peace, purity and the color white, LIKE ALBINOS is all representations of Obatala. Obatala's favorite color is white and he ALONE is said to be the creator of human bodies. Know your roots before injuring such children.
