Greatest issue facing the poor are their governments and ignorance. Too many problems from poor decision making… no laws and men & women are like dogs.. breeding in the streets without guilt. Funding these issues are senseless. The “trouble with Tribbles” they would die out if left alone….
AMAZING!!!!
@manufactur3d
because these African people speak English or French
or we can raise them up to our level.
it would not be that hard given that the colonization of africa by the westerners (europe) has directly led to the inequalities and sociopolitical messes that fuel the poverty.
enough blame, tho. i do not blame the children for the people who controlled their parents. i just want the children to get clean water.
or we can acknowledge the fact that we’d rather let fellow humans die horrible deaths.
because Europe and America keep Africa divided and poor. look what colonization did to africa…did it do any good? No.
if africa had but a fraction of the wealth that it was being robbed for, then it could possibly afford drills to put wells in.
can YOU drill a well without thousands of dollars? no, you cannot. you depend on someone else to do it for you. YOU are just as weak as they are…except YOU do not realize you live in the same slavery they do…you just cant see it.
Why is it that Europe, Asia, and the Americas were able to figure out clean water, but Africa, the continent that held people the longest, STILL hasn’t got it.
If I were thirsty, I’d dig a well. If I were starving I’d grow crops or raise livestock. These people don’t seem willing or able to do either on their own. Maybe the western world is partially to blame for keeping things status quo, which is why I say we cut them off completely.
because their leaders have been bought and corrupted to keep Africa a divided, war-torn continent for hundreds of years. the people who control the western world do not want a united africa, a healthy africa, or an educated africa, or they would be able to control all their own natural resources and make us pay the real price for mining and exploiting the riches of africa.
did you pave and install your road and utilities? no, you’re not industrious enough.
your government paid for it.
@manufactur3d Very good question.
If these people aren’t smart or industrious enough to get clean water for themselves why the fuck we do have to help them?
It’s sad that the world wastes so much when there is so many people who need so little…Something as simple as clean, fresh water is considered a luxury in some areas of the world, and is wasted in other parts of the world. So much resources and money on this planet, yet not enough of something that should be free in the first place, for everyone, everywhere..The most abundant resource on the planet, water.

thats terrible
These are the FORA TV videos I live for, compare this to the Ann Coulter video posted earlier.
so true!
this is retarded i would have choosen nelson mandela..?? idk but all this for a guy who serves a million africans water? i coould do this if i had a jet to africa and was a humanitis,
Yeah, that’s what he wants. Whole damn thing is a feel-good scam. And worst part about it… nobody receives help!
Lol; all the African/Black ppl complaining about the white man should move to these poor countries and help the poor themselves. Poor, starving ppl don’t care about who helps them, black or white (or what the damn history is), just as long as someone helps them! Now swallow your pride, STFU, and be fucking grateful!
Peace.
im all for training, totally against handouts and global intervention
i love water………………………..
The white man doesn’t want to help the black man…He is in Africa to make sure the African has a hard time…A white man’s heaven is a black man’s hell !!!
He doesn’t. The “white” man hates all of Africa. That’s why they drained the country of its resources and oppressed its people. Look up colonial history. Think the oppression of Africans ended with abolition of slavery in the United States? Think again.
Why does god hate central africa?
that water looks like it’s laced with lsd
FUK U WHITE MAN!!!
Agreed. We’ve many excellent reasons for following the word & intent of our founding fathers, to not be a theocracy, to continue to allow seditious Dominionist to make our laws & policies for us. The person that is both actually aware & conscientious enough to be qualified as citizen, has become an endangered human. Our species global reproductive addiction to fossilized carbon, will soon be the cause of water wars. Those who won’t see the correlation will be denialists unto the death of us all.
