That sucks. :/

I'm white and i haven't ever experienced racism; i have experienced homophobia, but not really in any way that i think would make an interesting story. My friend kind of has been on the other end of racism though, so i'll tell that one:

She's also white, and she used to work at a 'black' restaurant in Chicago (owned by black people, clientèle was largely black, &c.) as a host. One day they were super busy, and there was a small group of black people who had been stuck in the waiting area for some time because they didn't have reservations.

Then some white people who did have reservations came in, and of course they got seated first. That pissed the black people off real bad, and they accused my friend of being a racist. I don't recall exactly what they said, but it was definitely a straight-out accusation.

It was pretty upsetting, because (a) calling somebody a racist like that is awful because there's nothing they can do to contest it, and (b) in this particular case my friend was actually really psyched about working there, because she came from a 99.999% rural white background and considered this a significant learning experience.

I guess that doesn't really compare to getting egged or threatened or beaten up or anything, but i think it is an interesting example of the 'reverse' brand of racism.

Does witchcraft really exist in Africa

Posted by njambolo in CAMCORD FORUM

There is a lot of superstition and common beliefs about witchcraft.

All start from the same idea and reach different conclusions.
In Many African cultures witchcraft is highly practised and under the influence of such beliefs,some newborn babies are being killed because they are believed to the witches,In some other cultures albinos are like hotcake for ritual sacrifices.Do you beleive in witchcraft?What are your views about it?
