White blacks, a perfect target

source

If an alien knew humans, he would say, among many other things, that we are the only animal that usually carries amulets. But, of course, there are amulets and amulets. Those that are marketed in the West are useless and, although they impede thinking, they are relatively harmless. Those who use certain African towns are another story.

There, in some places, the amulets are hands, legs, penises, ears, or any part of the body of the black albinos. Therefore, a child lacking melanin is condemned to live in the midst of terror and, sometimes, to die quartered by those who seek magical pieces of his body. The albinos that are born alive in Africa are despicable phantoms, repulsive threats. But dead, to be sold by parts, are worth thousands of dollars.

The first drama of a family with a white child is, first, to learn to love, even if born with the color of the colonizers who enslaved them and who continue to despise them. The second, away from the sun that can kill skin cancer, in these inclement places. And the most complicated thing: to protect it from the gangs of amulets that, machete in hand, prowl to split them into little pieces and get rich. And the traffickers are supported by a broad network that, with bribes, gets information about the existence of albino creatures.

The spies of that macabre market can be in the family or the neighborhood. No age saves the victim. There are three-month-old babies who have been mutilated, and 40-year-olds who have been raped by several men at the same time, because they have an advantage: it is believed that having sex with an albino woman cures AIDS and at the same time serves as a vaccine.

They say that mother nature, capricious, is also something malicious. In the rest of the world, an albino child is born among 30 000. But in Africa one is born among 4 000. Although not all lose.

Around this pigmentary anomaly, the priests have set up a big business. They are the intermediaries between the albino hunters and the rich sectors and the politicians who pay exorbitant figures for the medium. That is why the hunting of albino children is aggravated in the pre-election period. The hand of an albino costs thousands of dollars and the complete arm 10 times more. Even the same Senate of Tanzania asks its members to avoid this traffic in the electoral struggle to increase their votes. Democratically, the parliamentary majority is silent.

In chess, the hunt between blacks and whites is also an old fight:

1: N6B + K1R; 2: N8K +! QXN; 3: QXR, R7N 4: RQ1Q and black is lost.
