The donors are to be applauded, but there's a reason why supermarkets and other businesses have left.
What's the reason???
@@EricOWilliam Not profitable. Capital investment goes where it can make a profit; it's just that simple. Businesses are there to make money and they couldn't care less about race, religion, or ethnicity.
@@Jeanne90275 👍
Because thugs robbed them constantly. No one dares to speak out such facts.
It’s strange how one of my local supermarkets threw out a whole dumpster of fresh vegetables in the garbage. And people are starving
It doesn't add up they could of donated
Makets have to throw it away otherwise people would not shop at markets waiting for them to throw it away and get free hand outs. It’s not right but with human nature it’s understandable.
Cause the don’t care ! I da my grocery doing the same pick beautiful apples 🍎 and throwing th away
Stephen Moan Yes I agree, but we still have a duty to help out those in need. Whether or not it was their choices. No one wants to starve
Moan, you call yourself a christian?
Where are the fathers here? Why do they think this is about race when you have no fathers in any of these households?
Either in prison from the War on Drugs or too poor to take care so leave
@@gagetomerlin9822 You can sit down now, junior. Come back when you have some facts to back this up, not just repeating drivel from social justice warriors.
It's good they are getting food. Kids can't go hungry. They need food to grow and develop properly. People don't understand that supermarkets aren't everywhere. I'm glad they are working on correcting that too.
Yet farmers are throwing out tons and tons of fresh produce.
They don’t have the power to give it away. The transportation that they would usually have have been shut down. A lot of the produce that we eat in the US does not come from the US, it is really expensive to run without gaining any money.
@Rudy Campos don't forget the USA dairy has over produced for years and because of this relies on government subsidies annually. they dump milk anyways, so who's to say this is different or more?
It doesn’t make them profit so why would they want it........
I've donated 12,000 to charity in 2018 and 11,000 in 2019. Black people truly does donate the most of our income to charity. I care about helping my own and not depending on a system that doesnt care about the minority in America. This system makes it expensive to be poor so I offset that as much as I can personally.
I would love to take my production agriculture degree and use it to expand access for underserved communities to wholesome foods without profit motives.
Good Man! me too Brother.
Tell me more.......I'm interested in some ideas you might have if profit were the primary motive
CORRECTION: "If profit were NOT the primary motive"
Yes thank you for helping
Every store that goes into the hood gets robbed. I wouldn't want to open any store in the middle of a ghetto
I live in a white suburb and the only convenience stores are gas stations and they get robbed weekly... on the local news they always talk about the stores being robbed so much people do no want to work nights. The suburbs... white dudes on meth. Ha weird it's almost like everywhere has issues and not just the 'ghetto' and it's weird that only one group wants to be blind to reality to say hot takes in KZhead comment sections to say lazy stereotypical falsehoods.
your thinking is a ghetto
Ghetto means a group of people from the same nationality living in the same place
Where's Oprah
Oprah is busy touching girls
A few billion dollars is pocket change for Oprah. 👏🏽👸🏽
EDUCATE YIURSELF as of May Oprah gave $22 MILLIONS to the covid crisis
In her mansion
Oh, please...he and the Mrs only care about themselves
this shouldn't be happening, in America, one of the richest country in the world, what a joke.
Send people back and Americans will have more.
Others seeing this footage would react with this in the so called richest nation on earth?
Wonderful community building and support! What's needed ongoing? Civic lessons -- education to get the whole community exercising their votes and making informed choices-- not falling for the lies of corrupt famous people who only add more sludge to the proverbial swamp.
Most casualties happend in Democratic areas. Their leaders are incompetent. You know why most shops close in black areas? Because they are robbed on a daily base. So blame yourself and not us.
Blah blah blah democrats bad
My state takes care of its people. Especially kids! Every parent got food stamps help to help feed the kids through summer. Even ppl who normally don’t get them they can get a summer allotment to help feed the kids I love my state
Parents should be ashamed for having children they can't afford. But happy with government help? That's foolish.
@@lorrainerodriguez2134 yes bad things never happen to make life hard. You’re a gem. Judge much ?
@@extendedpinky things do happen to people but most of the time we put ourselves into them as well. Everyone did not get food stamps over the summer for they kids. I know off hand.
@@lorrainerodriguez2134 in MY state they did I am sorry for states that don’t take care of their people. MY state made sure no one went hungry
@@extendedpinky yes i have two kids and stop because with the two kids i was able to still live a comfortable life. Having a third kid would have caused damage. So yes I made an assignment of what kind of life I wanted for me and them.
You cannot stay in the same neighbor for generation after generation. All neighborhoods eventually become run down. Each generation has moved several times. I cannot imagining living in the same neighborhood as my great grandparents. What do you expect? In my life I have been through many changes and have moved at least 4 times.
Food shortage is not a problem in America. A million Americans will pass from obesity before ten people will pass from starvation. Get real, folks
SCP 096 you should work on yourself, friend
SCP 096 you should look inward to find meaning in your own life, friend
Boy oh boy what a mess this country is in !!!!
Wonderful
EXCELLENT
If people can't get enough food they should eat protein bars. These bars will fill you up like a good meal. In another age, I would tell people to eat cake or something. But we all know nowadays sugar is terrible for you. Avoid cake even if you're starving.
I want $600 a week of free unemployment benefits too!
It’s not free. Only taxpayers are eligible
@SCP 096 no, she is right. If you collect unemployment, you paid into it and can only collect it if you worked. You are correct though with food stamps and housing.
@SCP 096 no, you have to show that you have a job to qualify for food stamps and not everyone get housing, why do u think we have a lot homeless people?
My dad always taught me at a young age take care of yourself
EDU is a passport to life. Encourage people to learn. Learn and then use your knowledge to share with others. That is a way to improve your community. There are philanthropists who happened to be in the minority group, who do care about other people, but, we don't hear much about them. We just need more stories like this to encourage more to see more. The only way to make this nation better is you. If you make yourself better, if everyone make themselves better, this society will be better.
$17 million? I think of all the rich donors and that’s a joke. Sorry. That’s like me giving $20.
this circle of struggle will continue on and on because of two things - 1. failure of reinvestment into the community by those who got out of the struggle and 2. accepted mindset of we are where we are and we can't get out of it. like the old saying "you teach a man to fish instead of giving him a fish"
I am proud to be a mixed African American young women and i am glad that the Black people are investing and helping out the community in need. This is so because we continue to face inequalities in economy and social status on a daily basis over the years and it will still continue to happen if nothing is addressed. We cannot rely on Government to care to do these things that they are responsible for because they will not care until election season when they need our votes. 😮😢😢100 💯
All that greenery could be edible. There must be a lot of rain. Where's the neighborhood gardens? Americans need an massive education in healthy nutrition. Many poor people are obese with diabetes.
I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread.
They should provide jobs as well.
We all arw going down hill from now 😣😷🤒💀💀🌎☠👈
People can still dumpster dive because we still waste food.
See you out there Mary.
SOME GOVS HAVE ZERO FOOD WAISTE. THEY CAN'T THROW ANY FOOD AWAY. THEY HAVE TO DONATE IT.
Watch Thomas Sowell “the cost of crime” and the effect of “hoodlums” as he calls them
That stuff is nonsense. Sowell is paid to say those things by corporations to shift the blame.
Sowell is a hack
Has Maxine Waters contributed...i think not
Be Creative in life 2020!
Where are those rappers making/flaunting money? Oh wait, they don't care 🤣🤣🤣
America needs so much help thank god I’m British
Wait till Boris Johnson fucks it up
Nobody cares about Britain
Patti Maeda well tell that to our history seens as we made your history and you
Well are yall experiencing the Brexit issues causing food insecurities already... So I don't think no one really has it easy and a lot of not showing what is to come on full blast yet...
Show me the state of their home gardens and I can tell if they are really serious about food insecurity. Right--there are no home gardens and nobody is using their resources to buy staples online to be delivered. You can buy bulk beans, oatmeal, sugar, flour, rice, canned tomatoes, vegetable oil, spices, yeast, salt, canned vegetables, and vegetable seeds from Walmart using EBT or a debtit card, and have it delivered by mail for free. You can buy canned salmon, and canned chicken. You can trade with a neighbor for a ride to a grocery store farther away and load up on onions, carrots, celery, cabbage, greens, whole chicken, apples, lemons, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and them come home and cook from scratch. After cooking you can institute PORTION CONTROL in your household to be sure everyon received good nutrition and maintains a healthy weight. We do it on $1 a day per person. We could spend more but choose not to.
I am Indian
Ok
This s completely govt induced
Agreed. And mainly Federal Reserve. End the fed!
A little bit of personal responsibility would help them weather any crisis, no matter what or who caused it. Where are the home gardens? Where is the community organization to help each other get to a grocery store farther away? I'd like to see families in the kitchen using what they do have to make healthy, nutritious meals and discussing portion control. Sometimes I think this is all about having a Twinkie in every Cupboard, rather than a chicken in every pot.
This is not definition of trump’s maga.
I just have an ideas is more safer for coronavirus covid-19 when infected percentage is increasing but need more worker for market workers. Create the apps that order what you needed in list and drop and pick up 🌎🙏 this can prevent spreading the virus to other people's in market or crowded places 🙏 🌏 this is just an ideas and it's might help 🙏 🌏 Or something extra delivery free services to home At the same time people's can have a jobs as a delivery service 🌎🙏
WE HAVE ENOUGH FOOD TO HELP HALF THE WORLD IF WE ONLY WOULD OPEN THE PROCESSING PLANTS TO FULL CAPACITY. U TELLING ME THEY CAN'T MAKE THESE PROCESSING PLANTS SANITARIALLY SAFE. BUT CAN MAKE GOV FACILITIES SAFE!!!
White flight is better or your house will lose money
It's interesting to hear how black Business Leaders and CEOs are contributing to help out their community that yet many independent localized rappers hip hop artists entertainers. not even mention to doing anything. The black community out a check itself and stop making these people money most music it's just rubbish anyway. They're not rap entertainers like Public Enemy or anything like today to inform people about the problems of the system because now you have these White media types telling rappers what to think about. Cardi B for example talking about sucking on tools is making money moves is that what you want your daughter to listen to.
what are all the billionaires doing to support the community. not much. just making more money. yep.
3:55 - 4:34 replace back with white and you have "racism" what sick double standards we have in this country.
Move. You dont need alot of money to do that.
Yes, you do! Why must I move if this is my home?
@@tiffanyhall1944 If you want to live in the ghetto is your business. Just don't expect any sympathy from me.
