thats actually not what blood diamonds are, those are considered legit.

BDs are stones stolen or extorted from local miners by militia using violence to enforce territory.

I saw this show where a few rappers went to the diamond mines, while wearing all their diamond bling, and were trying to explain to the workers how they love the diamonds that the workers slaved for.
It was like they didn't give a fuck about the horrible conditions and labor used to get the diamonds, and they were basically just showing off how rich they were to the super-poor miners who work countless hours to find one tiny diamond, and get about 15 cents for it from the mine-boss.
I bet the rappers didn't even donate any of their millions of dollars to the poor town where the diamond miners were working.
Then I'm sure they went back home on their private Lear Jet and drove home to their Hollywood mansion in their Bentlys, Rolls Royce Phantoms, and Lamborghini Murcielagos where they probably got wasted on Cristal and malt liquor and forgot all about the slaves at the blood diamond mines.

It's not like I don't like their music, but that show was bullshit.

blood diamonds are one of the most common currency used by the malitias and word lods of africa. Their proper name is african conflict diamonds and thier name pretty much sums them up. They are sold to gain funds to continue conflict and more blood shead, hence the name "blood diamond". The money raised from their sales will be used to purchace additional weaopns, ammo exc that are nessary to fight a war.

serach this shit on google, cause with the amount on this topic 2 pages will be easy

nice contradiction.
don't be a jackk ass fuck.
if you knew of any reliable resources on the web, you wouldn't have said there are none.

ex: ebscohost. similair to google but its got published articles, that come from reliable sources.
