Nicholas D. Kristof announces a puzzling sweepstakes on the NYT editorial page:
I’m taking the two winners of the “Win-a-Trip contest” to [Africa's]
My published articles are archived at iSteve.com -- Steve Sailer
Second: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring "subscription" donations.) UPDATE: Don't try this at the moment.
Third: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that's isteveslrATgmail.com -- replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don't need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here's how to do it.
(Non-tax deductible.)
Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

There's a page and video about the winners at link.
From the video of the winners I can't help but pity Nick Kristof. There's the annoying Asian girl (it's all about changing the world, reducing inequities!) to the guy with the weird speech pattern and accent. Of course they could both be gregarious people but they sure don't seem like it from the video.
Oh please. Looks great on a resume for college, and I doubt the NYT reporter's actually getting his companion killed. This isn't Doctor Who.
Don't forget to pack your AK and machete!
"the continent’s first world war": more and more I read what people write and decide that they must be setting some sort of Philosophy exam.
And what's second prize?
An all-expense paid trip to a lovely nation people once called Kampuchea to see, in person, the handiwork of a certain Mr. Pot.
It's only the less intelligent asians that fall for the inequality crap.
The more itelligent ones know who is winning here, but they might not be above fanning the flames.
The continent's first world war?
The ghosts of the askaris who served von Lettow-Vorbeck and the the troops of the King's African Rifles might disagree with that comment.
Don't forget the African pathogens.
A local girl from British Columbia had the same high aspirations for Africa, and went for a visit recently. I'd read that she'd gone to Nairobi, Kenya, but on rereading the article found she'd then went on to the island of Zanzibar, went swimming, and contracted a bacterium that began eating her eyes. The best the local medical clinic could do was to put her on a puddle jumper to Dar Es Salaam, whose doctors suggested she make every attempt to reach a Canadian hospital while she still had her eyes in their sockets, and that she hurry. The young girl, blind at this point, was lucky that there was a Canadian consulate office in Dar Es Salaam, and one of the officials escorted her on a flight back to Vancouver. Two cornea transplants later the young lady has a good chance of regaining much of her eyesight.
