Just goes to show how easy it is to mislead the masses.

Slacktivism at its best. Make a sappy video on YouTube, drop a go fund me page in the mix and play up on the emotions of easily swayed folks who feel as if all they need to do is give them pennies a day to stop whatever the problem is....and there you have it.

I remember when that video of that a$$hole jerking it in the street went viral 'cause they was closing down on him and his 'Non profit" organization and he went mental. :blessed: fukk him and everyone he had help him bilk money and wasted effort fighting some shyt ass Effigy of a Warlord in Africa.

I remember seeing it was trending and it made me think... who was the real King of New York. Nas? Jay? And then I clicked the link and it had nothing to do with that at all :beli:

Meek Mill double entendre on Kony is one of the few bars of his I like.
This movement was suspect but it was nice to see people across all races take interest. What happened to the 400 girls boko haram stole? Michelle Obama even spoke on it then shyt just got swept under the rug

The whole thing was propaganda to get troops into that region. China has been setting up shop in Africa and taking resources so we needed something to get our foothold in place. The actual documentary was made and released a long time before it went magically viral.

shyt was crazy because my high school had an invisible children club before the video came out. I was in the club and this west african breh was the president.

we were all surprised to see all this attention come so randomly because we've known about Kony for years
