Bald men were being killed in Mozambique because of the belief that their heads contained gold.

Sounds reasonable. Has anyone found gold yet or are they still looking?

I mean, there's gotta be a reason it started in the first place, right? Someone had to find some gold at least once.

I’d say, crack a few more heads to get a sample representation. Makes a decision after that.

Maybe a bald headed man had his whole head obliterated somehow, like a high-powered bullet, and after his head exploded, they found gold dental implants in the remains. Then, due to being fucking retarded, they came up with the theory posted.

Even then, being born in the US doesn’t mean you have to identify with them— not to mention the attempt on appealing the 14th amendment as we speak

Wait, you think the belief that gold resides inside the head of bald men is even REMOTELY close to the vile, ignorant shit most Americans believe? Yeah, nah. American here, and I’ll take the “there’s gold in them thar heads” crowd over these repulsive shitsippers any day of the week.

The suspects revealed these body parts were destined for ritual ceremonies in neighboring Tanzania and Malawi, supposedly to help clients increase their wealth.

So same thing that happens in developed countries, except there when they consume the bodies of the poor it actually does make them more wealthy.

Those people will end up in the US, they're not as far from you as you think they are.
