Have You Ever Been There?
I didn't look at the video, but I saw "Papua New Guinea". I had a friend who was a catholic missionary from that country. Apparently everyone is trying to leave that place. People there eat each other . TF?! 0_o

The videos don't have anything more "disturbing" than the skulls.
Anyway, I bet you're a Cancer.
Why would u think I'm a cancer?

I glanced at your avatar and it struck a strange resonant chord. I suppose your pose reminded me of someone else. Maybe some odd vibration.
You're probably not, now that I think about it.
My question is why dont they each other ? They do it if a tribes member dies as a ritual but why dont they hunt each other?

I was under the impression that they ate parts of the body ie. heart etc as part of these rituals, but not the whole body. Either way it's a disgusting act

I have heard about that. I think it also happens in Tanzania, but nobody gets eaten. LOL! Gone are the days of cannibalism in Africa & THE WORLD. It's a known fact that modern humans ate the Neadernthals to extinction & that traces of cannibalism can be found all over the world. New Guinea is the only place that still practices such a disgusting act.

But cannibalism is not the point, I am making, watercup. I am reminded of Jesse Washington. You know, they DO that over in Africa. Whereas Jesse Washington DID go to trial and DID sign a confession to the murder, in his case, in Africa, the mob deals with you very swiftly.

I was clarifying just in case. I know some ignorants still believe that in Africa we roast our neighbours for sunday lunch.
You're correct about the burning of people, it's especially popular here in South Africa. It all started during the Apartheid era, see the movie Sarafina starring Whoppie Goldberg. At that time, there were black spies "impimpi" which were paid to notify the police about any planned riots, "stayaways", etc. If you were discovered to be an "impimpi" the whole community would take part in your "necklacing" (car tyre around your neck set on fire).
These days they're doing it because we're tired of criminals getting away with crime..the police are lazy, so the people take justice into their own hands to rid society of bad people.
And unlike the Jesse Washington case, nobody is taking pictures or body parts as memorabilia..that's just straight up psycho.
Sarafina was based on actual events that took place in June 16, 1976. School children up against the racist South African government.
Hector Pieterson was the youngest person to be killed (with a hail of bullets) at the Soweto Uprising on June 16. He was 13 years old.

Yes, it is.
But remember that EVERY society has it's vile acts wickedness. Such is NOT limited to any one society, any one race, nor yet, any one Religion, at any one time in history.
Washington's act of murder and his punishment for that murder occurred nearly a century ago. 97+ years to be exact. The foul behavior of SOME white people, in those days did not, then, nor now, reflect the society of the US as a whole.
IF I were to write a book about one small facet of what I am trying to get across, it might
be entitled "Civilization's Growing Pains".
One of the BIGGEST underlying reasons for the pain seen in ALL races and in ALL countries, has to
do with WEALTH and "MONEY" and the desire of it, the distribution of it, the hoarding of it and the protection of it.
Because civilization is dominated by "money" in it's daily affairs of exchange, the displacement of
the peoples and disparity, thereof exists due to the greedy love of and control of money by those
that obtain it. - The battle of the haves v. the have nots has been waged since immemorial.
IF Money were not the object, it may well be something else.
The slaves were sold into slavery by their own.
Many, not all, of the white men used and abused what he had purchased.
With the Emancipation Proclamation, the slaves were freed. - It is, perhaps, at this factual
and pivotal moment in history wherein the freed people SHOULD have been given the choice,
and ships to return to their native homelands. - That would have occurred during the time of
the US Civil War.
The choice could have been a simple one, which would have had to have been agreed upon by
all the states, first. - It may have been along this wise:
"ATTENTION ALL FORMER SLAVES Freed men, women and their children:
You are hereby given the choice to return to your native homeland from whence your
forefathers had been taken and sold into slavery from out which you now stand.
Those who wish to remain are welcomed to do so and shall receive every right and
privileges afforded to the rest of the American society and shall obey the laws of the
land and conduct themselves accordingly so that the nation continues to advance onwards
from this chapter in our history."
From that time, through today, US history, no doubt, World history, would have been vastly
different. Such an undertaking would have been a monumental feat. And no doubt would have
had taken years to legislate, enact and implement. - It SHOULD have been done much sooner.
Even at the time of the founding of the US at the close the 18th Century.

The years immediately following the Civil War is called the "Reconstruction Era".
"In the history of the United States, the term Reconstruction Era has two senses: the first covers the complete history of the entire U.S. from 1865 to 1877 following the Civil War; the second sense focuses on the transformation of the Southern United States from 1863 to 1877, as directed by Washington, with the reconstruction of state and society.
Between 1863 and 1869, Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson took a moderate position designed to bring the South back to normal as soon as possible, while the Radical Republicans (as they called themselves) used Congress to block the moderate approach, impose harsh terms, and upgrade the rights of the Freedmen (former slaves). The views of Lincoln and Johnson prevailed until the election of 1866, which enabled the Radicals to take control of policy, remove former Confederates from power, and enfranchise the Freedmen. A Republican coalition came to power in nearly all the southern states and set out to transform the society by setting up a free labor economy, with support from the Army and the Freedmen's Bureau. The Radicals, upset at President Johnson's opposition to Congressional Reconstruction, filed impeachment charges but the action failed by one vote in the Senate. President Ulysses S. Grant supported Radical Reconstruction and enforced the protection of African Americans in the South through the use of the Force Acts passed by Congress.[1] Grant used both the U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. military to suppress white insurgency and support Republican reconstructed states.[1] Southern Democrats, who strongly opposed African-American equality to whites, alleged widespread corruption, counterattacked and regained power in each state by 1877.[2] President Rutherford B. Hayes blocked efforts to overturn Reconstruction legislation." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction_era_in_the_United_States<BR>

There were three KKKs
First KKK
The first Klan was founded in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee, by six veterans of the Confederate Army.[16] The name is probably from the Greek word kuklos (————) which means circle, suggesting a circle or band of brothers.[17]
Although there was little organizational structure above the local level, similar groups rose across the South and adopted the same name and methods.[18] Klan groups spread throughout the South as an insurgent movement during the Reconstruction era in the United States. As a secret vigilante group, the Klan targeted freedmen and their allies; it sought to restore white supremacy by threats and violence, including murder, against black and white Republicans. In 1870 and 1871, the federal government passed the Force Acts, which were used to prosecute Klan crimes.[19] Prosecution of Klan crimes and enforcement of the Force Acts suppressed Klan activity. In 1874 and later, however, newly organized and openly active paramilitary organizations, such as the White League and the Red Shirts, started a fresh round of violence aimed at suppressing blacks' voting and running Republicans out of office. These contributed to segregationist white Democrats regaining political power in all the Southern states by 1877.

Look at it - it's HISTORY!
Learn from it, or repeat it.
Second KKK
In 1915, the second Klan was founded in Atlanta, Georgia. Starting in 1921, it adopted a modern business system of recruiting (which paid most of the initiation fee and costume charges as commissions to the organizers) and grew rapidly nationwide at a time of prosperity. Reflecting the social tensions of urban industrialization and vastly increased immigration, its membership grew most rapidly in cities, and spread out of the South to the Midwest and West. The second KKK preached "One Hundred Percent Americanism" and demanded the purification of politics, calling for strict morality and better enforcement of prohibition. Its official rhetoric focused on the threat of the Catholic Church, using anti-Catholicism and nativism.[4] Its appeal was directed exclusively at white Protestants.[20] Some local groups took part in attacks on private houses and carried out other violent activities. The violent episodes were generally in the South.[21]
The second Klan was a formal fraternal organization, with a national and state structure. At its peak in the mid-1920s, the organization claimed to include about 15% of the nation's eligible population, approximately 4—5 million men. Internal divisions, criminal behavior by leaders, and external opposition brought about a collapse in membership, which had dropped to about 30,000 by 1930. It finally faded away in the 1940s.[22] Klan organizers also operated in Canada, especially in Saskatchewan in 1926-28, where members of the Klan attacked immigrants from Eastern Europe.[23]

Jim Crow.
"During the Reconstruction period of 1865—1877, federal law provided civil rights protection in the U.S. South for freedmen — the African Americans who had formerly been slaves. In the 1870s, Democrats gradually regained power in the Southern legislatures, sometimes as a result of elections in which paramilitary groups intimidated opponents, attacking blacks or preventing them from voting. Gubernatorial elections were close and disputed in Louisiana for years, with extreme violence unleashed during the campaigns. In 1877, a national compromise to gain Southern support in the presidential election resulted in the last of the federal troops being withdrawn from the South. White Democrats had regained political power in every Southern state.[5] These conservative, white, Democratic Redeemer governments legislated Jim Crow laws, segregating black people from the white population."

I have a friends that are albino, from Tanzania and that is why they had to leave home to come to the states.
It's absolutely heartbreaking.
The PTSD that they endure every single day will be something I don't think they will ever get over.
They have a sadness in their faces that brings me to tears on the inside. They had to leave everything behind, family, friends, assets, careers....everything. They were pretty much hunted like animals.
😢
We have a lot of them here too, the Tanzanians. It's sad indeed. Here is not great for them either, but at least they're not hunted down..they get stared at or avoided. People here have crazy superstitious beliefs about albinos..nobody wants to even touch them.
THIS GIVES NEW MEANING TO GETTING A LITTLE HEAD
Note to self:
Cause and effects - the how and why racial hatred between blacks and whites continues to exist:
Over the past 150 years a state of cause and effects, action/reaction and the chain reaction
of the events leading up to, during and following the US Civil War, the Abolition of Slavery, followed by the Jim Crow era, political activism and matters of personal, national and global economics.
The United States is a experimental model which the global leaders have used to develop the coming global system of governance. What the citizens of the US don't know is that they are mere pawns in a much larger entity.
Power requires Wealth and Wealth requires Power to protect itself.
The redistribution of wealth weakens not only the wealthy, but also the power itself.
Hypothetical Domino Effects of a Degrading Social Psychology:
Following Abolition and the Civil War, The Reconstruction Era began - plantation owners no longer enjoyed the benefits of slavery they once new:
Q: Operating Costs: Was it more cost effective to own/house/feed slaves or to pay labor wages?
A: Depending on the work description the slave was tasked to.
Q: Upon obtaining freedom, had the populace of Freedman incurred a imbalance in jobs/labor force?
A: Indeed, in the south, there would be a black labor surplus in the aftermath of the Civil War.
To be fair, wages would be extremely low in order to pay that workforce, which explains why poverty/despair/criminal activity has existed from that time.
Q: Had the white supremacist movement borne out of resentment toward the Freedmen have anything to do,
whole or in part, with the above sample questions under consideration?
A: It would make sense that a man's cost of living suddenly skyrocketed as a result of the sudden surplus flux of labor at a time when there were no minimum wage laws. Many white men were now reduced
to equals with the black men. Only the wealthy who held land continued to remain powerful and at ease.

Been there the land? Or Been there and ate someone?
Either way no.
Don't think I'll ever be that hungry!
Yeah. Papua New Guinea? Not even close. However if for some reason i went there, I dont think I'd fear I'd just be in danger of getting eaten. If I was going I'd do more extensive investigating. I dont tend to live in fear of worse case scenarios. Its always crazy to hear about tales of cannibalism.click to expand
I read that it's the least explored place in the world. I guess no tourist wants to serve themselves on a plate, so to speak. I was even more shocked to hear that they even have a president. I wonder if they threaten to eat him when he doesn't delivery. LOL! I think every country needs a few cannibals just for the politicians..so sick of them.
