To the group of people, who engage in this disgusting behavior, this IS the norm, the mores ! Yes, they've been " educated ". Yes, they are slightly civilized. NO, they are NOT like anyone, whom you've ever met, know, or imagine you know.
Here's a tiny history lesson for you. There are many tribes, which have long composed the black populace of South Africa. The most " civilized " were/ are the Zulus. The Xhosa, who make up most of the ANC power structure and base, were once the slaves of the Zulus, and are NOT indiginous to the region. There are many, many, MANY other tribes, as well as legal and ILLEGAL black immigrants, from various other African nations. They are NOT all the same. even though they are the same race ; their cultures are as different, as ours is from most of their's
You find WHAT " amusing " , dear ? My choice of words ? Well, try this on for size, then. When Christianty was trying to win converts, it adopted pagan holidays , as its own, made saints out of local gods and goddesses, as well as making local " holy places " into Christian " holy places ". In some places, for some peoples, it took far longer than 300 + years for Christianty and Christian doctrine / morals / values to " take ". In places such as South America and Hatti and Puerto Rico, they still haven't really " taken ".
If the president of their country tells them, that the " white man's medicine " can NOT / will NOT cure them of HIV/AIDS , and they should turn away from that...and they go to a witch doctor ( for want of a better word, that you'll understand ) , and that witch doctor tells them that sexual intercourse, with a " pure " , untainted virgin, is ALL that will " cure " them, then, just how " easy " is it, dear, for their " white " taught morals, to kick in ? This has NOTHING to do with their " not paying attention ", nor any of the rest of the things that you wrote. GOT THAT ?
Why, on earth, would fellow prisioners, who believe exactly , what the ONE MAN, out of thousands, who committed this vile act, and was sent to prison ( prisons there, BTW, leak like a seive ! ), give him a hard time ? W-H-Y ? It's what would happen here. It is NOT necessarily what will happen over there.
