@@weareallbornmad410 My cousin & I for years, two days a wk worked at a clothing drive which was a soup kitchen at night. When that ended I donated my time in Spanish Harlem to help work in a little kitchen in a church where ppl come for coffee and snacks in the cold winters. Before I moved I donated my last 3 thanksgivings feeding others. Now bcuz of a health issue I donate everything I haven't used in 6 months, some things still in boxes or with tags still on them, to a homeless shelter which is actually a safe house for women and their children. I mean it's hard to continue to live even in a big one bedroom for years without giving away stuff & it makes me happy & hopefully others can be helped as well. Still I'd like to clone this woman. Her smarts, her youth, her ambition and skills are helping on a real grass roots level and I bet she's going to blow this idea up & we're going to see more of her & like her... So yes "We are all born mad", she's not the only person but I stand by my comment. Not everyone does nothing & just talks & wishes....

The world doesn't show ANY good people doing stuff like this unless it fits some agenda or narrative. Also you should do things because it's the right thing to do not for media or attention. That's what makes a person bad and shows they truly don't care. As a liberal I'm sick of people on the left and their lies and hypocrisy. They truly don't give a shit. Also That's not 100% true you can also put blame on the different communities or people who choose to act like that or a certain way and refuse to change for the better and act like if you have a problem with it your racist or sexist or whatever. Like when people were talking shit about Cardi B for being ghetto or trashy and people attacked this girl (black) for saying so. You know white liberals love to get offended for people smh. We should all be trying to be better or help others and help fix this world to be a better place.
