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. :snoop:

exactly. i HIGHLY doubt that any of these people doing the bucket challenge did research on it, found out 93% of the affected are white, and said YES LETS DEFINITELY GET BEHIND IT! i doubt most people did any research at all.

:what: fukk does that have to do with anything that he said ?

he was complaining that IF so and so was done they wouldnt care because its about blacks. I say he should try it to see if that were to hold true, but we all know he won't, he will just sit here and theorize

How about instead of bytching about the success of another's cause, you think of some innovative way to generate support/awareness for sickle cell anemia or some other cause near and dear to your heart?
Many assumptions here. Smh.

I had a family member, who was Black, that died from ALS. You fake Black militants are so damn corny.

Sorry for your lost in your family but as a black man it doesnt affect you that these bullshyt ass black sports players etc... are doing a challenge for people with ALS which only affects 7 percent of their race than a movement like Fergueson.

I don't understand why they can't do both but I've come to expect Black upperclass folk to not have any Black pride. On the other hand, very few knew about ALS a few weeks ago.

u cant compare tho. ferguson is a serious subject that leads off the news and has the potential to cause a MAJOR event if the cop walks away from this.

the als thing is just a fun little silly social media fad for a good cause.

black athletes and celebrities are allowed to feel a certain way about ferguson and also do this silly challenge that takes less than 10 minutes and make a quick donation. alot of them have stepped up and voiced their opinions about mike brown but as far as actions, what exactly do u want from them? quit the nba and take up arms against white people and police? donations arent gonna help in that case and it has a ton more attention then the als shyt.

gotta love how most people on here claim not to be on social media or caring about stupid internet trends and everything but as soon as something gets a lil bit popular
theres the complaining about social media act

Lol, I just posted facts from the als sites... then said I might be wrong. You dont have to feed into conclusions... what if i fed into the hundreds of posters that called you a c00n and even made threads based on your c00nish antics??? What if they said fukk ur dead fam members because they were probably c00ns as well??

Do you see how silly that is?
