Deceptive title @ burning

I thought you meant some punk like Ashton Kutcher

Bill Gates is a G





You ever heard of the Golden Rule. He who has the gold makes the rules!

He who asks is a fool for five minutes. He who never asks remains a fool for ever.

Don't hate on Bill Gates, the man is the biggest donor to aids education and medication programmes in Africa.

$900million is a few more shekkels than I'm able to give. I don't think we should insult Bill Gates. I'm pleased at least he is taking an interest.

I respect Bill Gates. He has given nuff money away to Africa and has his own Malaria fund. He gives away computers too to poor people in US and Africa. He also does a lot of stuff on the dl without having to constantly call a press conference like Bob Geldoff.

lot of Black entertainers and celebs do LOTS to promote debt releif, economic empowerment, and tourism in black countries...



just doesn't make the mainstream news......Danny Glover does tremdous work.....



I'm not mad at Bill Gates..but I am mad at our people who come into a thread and make general comments about "Black entertainers spending money on cars, etc" what else is mainstream media gonna cover....? If all you watch is MTV cribs.....how will you know about the work of Stevie wonder, will smith, chris tucker, oprah winfrey, percy sutton(WBLS owner), earl graves, bill cosby,and wyclef jeanand the many others who do a lot of stuff that only gets covered in Black press....or when white celbs accompany them.....
