Speak for yourself. This is the type of comment people make when they believe themselves to be superior than the average American, because they've had an epiphany of sorts. Don't flatter yourself. Our government didn't respond correctly to the hurricane disaster, but people cared very much. Same goes for troops. And while I'm at it, saying that Americans in general don't value education is ridiculous.

And isn't she part of the Hollywood filth industry which disgorges it's perverted deviant "vision" on the entire world?

LOL, fucking hell that quote is so 1950's puritan.

Hollywood mirrors what's there, not the other way around. Stop blaming "the evil media" for showing you the seedy underbelly of society.

Man, all of these fucking humanitarians need to shut the fuck u pand stop trying to make Africa into some pity-party continent. Yes, there are poor people in Africa, what's new, but all this using Africa to make themselves look better is getting ridiculous, and I am not talking about Jada, I'm talking about stupid fuks like Jolie who go to take pictures with dirty kids for fucking publicity.

I guess it's Africans who are letting themselves be made to look stupid, or maybe Americans should go to Africa more and not have to listen to these PR-seeking dimwits....if you need a celebrity to educate you, then I feel rather sorry for you.

I guess my point is, not everyone in Africa is starving.....there are the bad parts and the good parts, yes we can all help, but enough of all these humnitarian crap involving Africa and trying to make it look like the continent is dying without their help. If you want to send your money to war ravaged parts, good for you, but enough of all the stupid pictures.

Arrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with Wicked Ho. Come on people don't over analyze everything someone says. Jada is right. I work in school and know that most people take education for granted. Americans are so caught up in their own superiority that they get defensive when anyone criticizes us. It could be Africa, it could be India, it could be North Korea. What she is saying is a lot of people here don't appreciate what we have. Also we are a violent society. A bodyguard carrying a gun is not the same as a punk shooting up a liquor store.

What do we value? Nothing.

What's to overanalyze about that? It's false & ridiculous & insulting.
