Why charity can be a curse.

[logansrogue]

Oprah Winfrey is a heinous cunt. (And a lot of ONTD douchebags aren't much better).

South Africa *isn't* America. It's a different country with different values. Just because someone is poor doesn't mean they are fodder for one's megalomaniac fantasies. She is one scary bitch, that woman. A pushy, deluded, material-obsessed bitch.

When will people learn that those needing charity are NOT seeking a dependence on rich countries and the abolishment of their culture? Is it really THAT hard to keep that in mind?!

Some of the comments on that thread are kinda disturbing too. People are all "oh my God, how dare they complain about their free education". What the?

I'm not even going to bother commenting at ONTD because so many people there just don't have a clue. They live such a good life they get this "The poor can't be picky!" mentality. They expect these poor African girls (half of which probably are HIV positive) to make the choice between seeing their families and having the opportunity to get a good education. I just don't think they realise how tough it is for them! They act more like it's as hard as choosing an outfit. When they say "Just don't go to the school, duh!" I don't think they realise the ramifications. No school for them means no education, no money, no food, death. Not just for them, but they're enitre family. Stupid snobby bitches.

Didn't people of Oprah's generation complain about "dorm mothers" and other such nonsense? And yet they turn around and pull the same crap they overthrew. Oh, but it's okay since S. African girls need "structure" and "guidance".
