The YouTuber Mr. Beast decided to bring clean water to 500,000 people in Africa who had none.
You might think, “Surely there’s no way the left could attack someone for sparing half a million people of cholera and child deaths.”
He’s white, so you’re wrong …
Saran Kaba Jones, founder and CEO of FACE Africa, an organization working to improve water infrastructure and sanitation in sub-Saharan Africa, told CNN: “I’ve been doing this for 15 years, but we’ve been struggling to continue the work because funding, awareness, and advocacy all take work.”
And then, she added, “overnight, this person comes along, who happens to be a white male figure with a huge platform, and all of a sudden, he gets all of the attention. It’s kind of frustrating, but it’s also understanding the nature of how the world is.”
[Mr. Beast is the poster child for the axiom, “No good deed goes unpunished.” He even predicted it this time, and he was right. Unbelievable. — Ed]
