Yeah as you noted in a later comment, Moyo is also Jewish, so really the missed opportunity here is Jewish institutions uplifting the voices of and empowering Jews of Color who too often face racism from the mostly white, mostly Ashkenazi Jewish community (and also can face antisemitism from their other ethnic communit…

It seems like the Goulds are conveniently forgetting that while the number of Jewish victims of the Holocaust was by far the largest, other minority races were also rounded up and murdered indiscriminately by the Nazis as well.

It’s been an issue for years on these sites, they have copied the right-wing playbook of being proud of their ignorance.

The Gates Foundation and other anti-Malaria groups have HALVED the annual death-toll from Malaria since 2000. These groups are currently saving about 400,000 people a year and climbing.

He thinks he’s the smartest kid in the room because most of the time he is. 

Seems like he’s mellowed out a lot from his younger 80 hour plus work week days. And you can’t credit the foundation without crediting the man. He has been working full time there since shortly after founding it and stepping away from…

So far, he’s given 53.8 billion dollars to charity. I don’t get the need of people to jump on him, either.

Bill Gates is a lot of things. But do not shit on the Foundation. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has worked tirelessly to eradicate Polio; create self-sustaining, efficient sanitation for developing nations; funding family planning; eradicate malaria.

He’s not “hoarding” wealth. He created it. He founded what under his leadership became one of the largest software empires in history and a little thing called Windows which runs the vast majority of desktop computers. (Among other things.)

And unlike a lot of very rich people, he created a huge non-profit foundation…

Yeah, not knowing what the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is, is not something to brag about. It’s one of the best charities in the world. They’ve done more the near eradication of malaria than any government or charity in the world.

Would love to see Sacha Baron Cohen’s take on this.

This. Whatever he’s like personally, his foundation - which, Jesus, Jezebel, do some research before you casually dismiss the Gates Foundation - has done an incredible amount to transform living conditions in the developing world.

the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which does something I’m sure. I just couldn’t tell any of you what exactly.

Is there really a need to shit on Bill Gates? I’ve seen enough of it from right wing sources and now this one too?

Just read more about this (while looking to see where the Goulds’ worshipped; yes, I’m Jewish and being nosy) and Moyo is Jewish! WTF, people? This just kills me that they would prevent her from making the connection to Black lives! ARGH.

This is ridiculous. One of the missions of the National Holocaust Museum in D.C. is speaking out about genocide around the world, which would include the treatment of Black people in this country. I’ve been there when they had huge exhibits of the plight of the Sudanese (prior to the creation of So. Sudan). The…

It may be because I’m super-old, but one of the first things I remember about the Gates Foundation after it formed was all the mosquito netting it provided to countries in Africa and its dedication to family planning. This isn’t just another Bezos, folks, even if you do not like the man.

now we’re all imagining sex with a 60-year-old.

One of the smart things Biden has done, and I hope he doesn’t back down on, is daring Republicans to actually say their beliefs out loud, especially when it comes to economic issues.

Kate ticks all the same boxes that made women appealing to the masses two centuries ago. She never complains. She always makes sure to look her best. She rigorously watches her weight. She makes sure she does whatever the Firm tells her to with a smile. She ignored the philandering before and after her marriage. …
