Talk:Diamonds from Sierra Leone

Yeah....
Because, like, only conflict diamonds are mined by underpaid, suffering workers and child labor. Those regular diamonds that "wealthy Europeans" wear (of course Europeans, never, ever hip-hop stars blinging it to the max! That would probably be racist or something) wear re totally guilt free, because the workers are all well-paid, comfortable and live in peace, harmony and plenty. This is like a song written by someone who watched a news article, didn't get the actual point, and then went and made a video about it to gain "credibility" among other people who knew even less than he did. But as long as the diamonds are being used to fund WARS, then there is no problem any more, and rappers...er, "wealthy Europeans"....can drape themselves with as many as they like. Let's just not look at the gold mining industry while we're at it. When is Kanye going to donate his millions to help poor people in Africa? We're still waiting on Clooney and DiCaprio and all the other rich, entitled hypocrites. "Conflict diamonds" are just a distraction to keep people from paying attention to the rest of the industry, and to give the big diamond cartels an excuse to solidify the entire trade in their own hands. Don't like competition? Go to the UN and come up with a big sob story about how the competition is using "funding illegal wars" (whatever those may be) and causing death and suffering, and get them all shut down. Handy that suddenly no diamond except those sold by the big cartels is legal now. AnnaGoFast (talk) 00:52, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
