Yes, Ferguson > the ice bucket challenge, and that's why it's a much bigger story right now.
Why are y'all even comparing diseases to socioeconomic/political issues?
Because even diseases get politicized.
Get real breh.

It hasn't. But if tomorrow there was an ice bucket challenge for Ebola, it wouldn't do well. And you know why. And then it would be politicized.

I don't know that, because, as so many coli posters like to point out, the popularity of the ice bucket challenge has little to do with ALS at all. It's about capitalizing of the 'attention whore-ness' of people who'd want to be a part of something viral.
People planked for no cause, people did the Harlem Shake for no cause. This campaign successfully rolled people's desire to participate in the next viral social media phenomena into supporting their cause.... and for some reason this has you bitter nikkas mad.

It was a sham and a joke. Invisible Children was a farce, the leader got exposed.

Villainize Africans through Kony and the kidnapped girls, prosecute Mike Brown and Trayvon beyond the grave.
shyt is sad no matter what skin color is getting affected by it. slowly becoming paralyzed is fukking horrible.
so u think if it was a black movement there would be no internet attention for it?
yea the media but we talking about the public. there was a huge uproar for trayvon and another one now for mike brown. racist people aside, most people are pretty pissed about mike and were about trayvon.

But it was not in social media for the right reasons, white people were just sharing it to jump on the bandwagon, not because they care about the african people.
whatever the reason, it got attention. you arent gonna make everybody care about something but u can make everybody talk about it.
