Eastern Congo Kids Go Nuts Over Former UFC Fighter’s Arm Hair in Adorable Vid
A several-month-old video is currently making the rounds of former UFC fighter Justin “the Viking” Wren’s missionary trip to the Congo, where a number of local children went absolutely berserk over his arm hair.
Uploaded to YouTube back in September, the title of the video reads: “Great White Sasquatch! 1st time kiddo’s of Congo see white dude!”
It begins with a group of children looking curiously at Wren– specifically his ample supply of light hair– before Wren offers up his arm so they can see what it feels like.

(Photo: YouTube)
Soon enough, the group begins screaming and laughing as children do, reaching a whole new level of excitement when Wren bends down and shakes his Viking-style head hair, letting the children pet him like an animal.
Wren’s website explains:
As an MMA fighter, Justin used his skills to defeat people physically for sport. He eventually realized a greater impact could be made using the platform now at his disposal. The same hope and truth God used to pull Justin out of a destructive lifestyle is the reason Justin fights for those who cannot fight for themselves. His mission is to share Jesus’ love with a semi-nomadic group in Congo, the Mbuti Pygmies where only 1% have heard of Jesus. Mbuti Pygmies are persecuted, tortured and denied citizen status in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“Um, why am I crying?” a Gawker commenter wrote.
Here’s the full video:

Posted on March 3, 2013 at 11:08amAsk some Black women with their natural **** if white folks don’t still try to touch their ****,without any permission whatsoever,and most of us will say that we’ve had this happen to us,and we’ve had to let them know they are not allowed to reach up and touch our ****,or our children’s **** for any reason!

Your racist for telling your kids that whites can’t touch your ****.
It’s just so soft and cute we can’t resist.
Nobody ever not even once touched my **** when I was a kid :(
Probably because it wasn’t cute curly and black.
My mom had to beg white people to touch my ****.
Please, please touch my sons **** she pleaded.
But these racist crackers were only interested in touching black kids ****.
So now with my own kids I parade them down MLK blvd. on Saturday afternoons with freshly shampooed **** begging every African American hand I find to please touch their ****, and I feel like I am single handily solving the race issues in this country through my kids ****.

Posted on March 2, 2013 at 10:05pmYou see that, fellow Yank athletes? You can have fun in a foreign country, just us common sense and remember they are children most likely under someone’s watchful eye. You jocks can have fun without going out getting in drunken fights or drama queen arguments at the airport. Even in 2013, our athletes can still make great ambassadors of goodwill. So long as they no how to behave in and out of the public eye. Nice we can still share something fun and positive. He’s quite the big blond bear. Must be part of his wrestling persona. …At least he did not do like that Basketball player in North Korea who lavished Christie type public praise on Kim J. Ill Jr.

In reply to barber2.
Brother Sensei – you are instructed go to the secret site immediately.
Spartacus is angered that you placed the master plan at risk, and is considering deferring all our plopping bonuses until you have cleaned up every one of your unfortunate webbi-leaks.
Use the special application to locate a video message from Spartacus and see, “What Bugs Bunny Says.” Do it.
I too, am Spartacus, it is so.

This is what you must know:
I’ll speak for the radical Marxist cadre of brainwashing trolls. Yes, we’re paid handsomely by our Marxist, Leninist, Socialist, Communist string pullers. In February alone I logged enough blog pops (that’s what we call our posts that generate a response) to make $17,500 in one month. Yes, “they” pay a lot more than you imagine. It’s based on the quality of the pst and the number and vehemence of the responses. Now, the holy grail is generating a meme that shifts the debate or compromises a personality in the enemy camp. For example, my work on Ted Nugent alone generated $35K in the last quarter of the calendar year.
Don’t hate me for it. I don’t need the money. It’s just that I’m a patriot and a capitalist. I believe in America, fought for her, and refuse to hand her back over to the power elite of the extreme right wing. (Trust me, all you plebes here are not the problem nor the friends of the power structure. You’re merely the chattering facade behind which the conservative opportunists operate. Dock Armey ginned you up at the behest of the Koch Brothers, then walked away with $8M (Now THAT is one whale of a troll).
So buck up, kids. Keep throwing poo at each other while you struggle to buy groceries and gas. It’s what god wants. And as we all know, what god wants, god gets.
Now, who’s gonna respond and make me so

Posted on March 2, 2013 at 8:54pmPay attention, My Sensei was temporarily hacked. The post you refer to is FAKE. You are hereby forbidden to read that post! Do NOT, repeat, do not, GO THERE.
That Post is being removed because it was posted by a fake drunk pretending to be someone, to get someone in trouble on purpose. DO NOT read that post. Someone will be sorry.

Posted on March 2, 2013 at 9:53pmNot all children are created equal. The average black Sub-Saharan African IQ is a pathetic 70. In comparison, the average White European IQ is 100. Now you know why Switzerland is Switzerland and why Ethiopia is Ethiopia.

Posted on March 3, 2013 at 5:04amMarsh.. way to try and spoil a pleasant and inconsequential story with your racist dogma. Kids who do not have access to education and grow up in a superstitious undeveloped society end up as adults with a lower IQ? Well, shock horror. Google ‘the Flynn Effect’. Ask yourself how sure you are that the IQ test data was fair, and whether an IQ test is really an adequate measure of intelligence when applied to people unfamiliar with the concept of such a test.

Posted on March 4, 2013 at 8:33amYou are very ignorant with your Ethiopia statement. There is many wealthy role, and a strong military in Ethiopia, not to mention the REAL “Jews”. The IMMIGRANT population in the US with the highest education level by percentage of their population is African. Many Doctors are in America from Africa. Jut because you live in 1 of the 50 United COUNTRIES of America, doesn’t mean every state(or city) is like yours. Even most countries in Africa have plenty of food in Africa. Alot of it is sold to Europe!! Go and educate yourself for real. Gold, diamonds, food, oil, and many other resources have been stolen from Africa for the past 300 years so your European ancestors could live. Moors taught your white ancestors medicine, and how to bath and be sanitary and even brought arts and culture to get Europe out of the Dark Ages. The only reason you didn’t learn this is because the WHITE his-storians are too embarrassed to admit these facts. Just like they are too embarrassed to admit that Amenhotep3, Akhenaten,Tutankhamen, Ramsses the Great were Black Africans. And there are pyramids in Sudan which was also a part of ancient Egypt(the Upper kingdom). I bet a nickel you didn’t know that. No black teachers eh?
