President Barack Obama told a group of young African leaders on Monday that killing others to harvest body parts was a “foolish tradition.”
At the Young African Leaders Initiative summit in Washington D.C., President Obama was asked about the killing of Albinos in Africa and the harvesting of their body parts for ritual purposes.
“Persons with Albinism in Africa are being killed and their body parts harvested for ritual purposes,” a woman in the audience said. “My request to you is to raise this issue with heads of state of African countries to bring these atrocities to an end.” Obama condemned the practice as “foolish traditions.” …

Is this satire?
Cannibalism for me but not for thee.
barry went on to explain, it is stupid to do this because a baby or person is a certain magickal color. no, you do it because the baby is unwanted by you, or because the baby would be a burden on you. that’s why we harvest organs from babies where i rule.
Unreal........you know he said this just to twist the knife in all of us.
You nailed it.
I think we’ve reached peak hypocrisy in this administration. Time to sell!
He also went over there and lectured to them that they needed to clean up corruption in the government. He’s delusional.
I honestly would have believed it until I saw the video...
# 1. People actually still commit murder to harvest Albino body parts...I understand Africa is in many ways still very backwards, but this is hard to fathom in 2015.
# 2 Obama doesn’t see the apparent massive hypocrisy.
So..... Africans kill albinos for black magic....
...And Planned Parenthood kills black babies for dirty profits.....
POTUS-BHOJr, may God have mercy on your soul.
I don’t think so. He’s never going to be reelected, so he doesn’t give a toss about PP.
Obama doesn’t care that pieces of mostly black children are the ones being harvested either. I’m actually shocked he made the trip to Africa. He could care less about Africa, unless it is part of his Jesse Jackson Succession Program, wherein he spends the rest of his life as an ex-President shaking people can companies down over racial issues.
Wasn’t this the basis for an episode of Grimm last season too?
If you wanted to make this Semi-Satire/Semi-Real, you could have Obama say:
“If you are going to harvest body parts from albinos, for the love of pete get some cash for it. Using that in a ritual? That’s a waste of bread. You know what a liver is going for on the research open market? That’s why people back in the world think you guys are idiots.”
He does this kind of thing a lot too
It’s much worse when the body parts are human, and the activity is promoted by a particular American political party.
Over here people are harvesting baby parts for what is essentially black magic. Or am I behind the times and embryonic stem cell research has actually produced something worth while?
If you dress the witch doctor in a lab coat and give him a test tube it does not make the "miracle cure" promised any less magical thinking.
Yes he does.
It is a tradition; it is a trifle.
bkmk
Looking at some of those pictures Obama looks like an Albino compared to his audience.
