Albinos are humans too

in #air-clinic7 years ago (edited)

Did u know that in Tanzania, Albion's are used for ritual's for goodluck..people in Tanzania hunt albinos because their blood are believed to give goodluck and their bones are used for money rituals.. image

Writing about albinos has made me nostalgic. This is because I remember when I was much younger,I usually mistook albinos to be lepers. I would always be careful around them so I won't contact their leprous disease.hilarious right? How are albinos different from us,speaking about grading of species a d organisms in biology,albinos are not different from us because they belong to homo sapiens with us..but their case is one of slight shift or change or alterations in their genetic makeup. This is the defect of a copper containing enzymes called tyrosine which is actively involved in the production of melanin.melanin is the pigment responsible for skin colour in human.. People that suffer from albinism are known to suffer alienation and discrimination which makes if difficult for them to finish schooling, look for jobs and even find life partners.in countries such as Tanzania they are killed and their body parts are sold for witchcraft purposes. ![image] image() A survey in Tanzania reveals that a complete set of albino body parts in worth about $75,000
But really, albinos are no different from us,we should learn to show them love and care and relate with them very well.
This is one of the reason's why the general assembly of the united Nations proclaimed 13th June as international Albinoism awareness day.people from all over the world had come to accept albinos fro their uniqueness and celebrate them. So from today,try to b friendly and celebrate an albino because they are no different from you image

You are right. The world will change for better if we all embrace this truth. Though many of them are great men in Nigeria. They also have an organisation that comprises only albinos with an albino president....
