So Kanye has a song out called "Diamonds", but the remix (and the video for the original) are titled "Diamonds (from Sierra Leone)", referring to so-called blood diamonds that were produced by child labor and sold by rebels who committed major atrocities in the west African country of Sierra Leone during it's civil war. I'm not sure yet how I feel about the song. It is nice that someone would pay attention to this problem, even if it is a few years late, but I don't know, something about it doesn't sit right...
