I'm 13, and I absolutely hate school. This guy is 12, homeless, and has no family, and all he wants to do is go to school. Really puts things into perspective.
@@ravenaussie3760 just remember to take things with a grain of salt; i know it sounds harsh and someone will likely hate speech me, but dont ignore the 40 pound camera pointed at the child actors face. yes africa is hard living doesn't mean they are not playing it up for views. also, youre not suppose to like school its suppose to beat you into submission so you follow society standards.
i am glad you are out of there and i hope and pray life is treating you better. Life on the streets is rough(i was homeless for 5 yrs, but i was an adult) i cant imagine how terrifying is must be for a child.
Mannnnnn people like you are exactly what people going through hard times, be it emotionally, financially, mentally, etc., etc., etc. like me and many others sadly and unfortunately, needed to see. It gives me hope and will and drive to live. It sounds crazy that this gives hope and a will/drive? It is hell. But it shows how fortunate we are. I can't wait to hear/see who Felix will become. With a heart and soul like his, he will be someone that will do something really great one day. A pure soul breaks down the tallest most reinforced walls and fence 💔😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. The most hardened hearts get broken apart and cruel souks get shattered to smithirines, seeing such amazing incredible drive certain human beings like Felix and you my friend possess. So happy you're still alive. Surviving and have survived some of the hardest circumstances and situations that life has to throw at us and challenge us with and doing well. You deserve it my brother! ❤️❤️❤️ keep on fighting my brother 🤗. You are an angel and an inspiration to us all that have seen this video of Felix and have read your comment response.
Jack Black just did more than probably 99% of other actors who act like they care. He straight up went to the source, experienced the struggles and tried his best to know how we can all help. For years I’ve felt actors like Jack are being under-valued because they aren’t as relevant anymore but now I realize he’s just doing what he wants to do. Jack if you somehow see this, there still millions of us who love you as an actor and know you’re a good person.
so hard for both of them... i dont think.... if i had means... i would of been able to leave felix there. i wouldve absorbed so much of his pain that i probably would have tried to sneak him on my Private Jet. It would live with me every night knowing that he is sleeping out in the cold.
@@Nobody-ss7ks you upset that Will Morales is telling the utter truth. Plus gonna let you in on a very important piece of life..... Every person on this planet is a reflection of you pushed out. Their comment that made you call them a moron...... That's a flaw in yourself so why don't you stop projecting your insecurities at him when you can't handle truth.
This comment section is a good example of separation regarding belief. If I'm a democrat, why the fuck do i gotta hate on republicans? If i'm a christian, why do we look different at other religions? 1. Most of that (religion especially) is the same shit told in a different way or using different names. Politics: We should actually be the leaders. Those parties only serve to show ideas, if we were smarter, we'd know that all of the parties have good and bad, why not just take the good? Parties should only serve to show ideas, and we'd vote on the ideas we actually think it's worth it, but we can't do that shit cuz we gotta monopolize everything. 2. Living in harmony/balance is one of the hardest, but most beautiful things, why don't we go for that instead of just choosing sides blindly? As a guy who read a lot on different religions, I find it stupid how people associate with stuff they barely know the meaning of. Simplest way of explaining my 'sadness' is: If I like football, and the art of football itself, why do I gotta choose a team? I read a lotta comments too, and people discuss and insult each other over the stupidiest shits, just goes to show how we're not evolving in the brain, but the other way around..
PREACH, 100% Truth. my rich uncle sent me on all expenses paid trips to Iraq, Afghanistan and short hop to Pakistan and this daily life there. America's reckoning is coming.
Not if you listen to the left. We're all suffering here in America. Those damn college loans that we agreed to take out and shitty jobs we got with our shitty degrees and social injustice or whatever the marxist agenda flavor of the week is blah blah blah.
@@simonjaz1279 so young, so naïve, I envy you that. Well there is little doubt that their standard of living has nowhere to go but up, simultaneously that means our standard of living will decrease. It can’t not, we are on the precipice of losing reserve currency status for the rest of the world. When that happens...countries are no longer motivated to be our servants.
People are so rude To you in these comments your heart clearly stands out and wants the best for him and that's human nature I wish we all had it and somewhere deep down we all do.
as soon as he said "i want to go with you" i felt a big lump in my throat and tears swelled, today being mothers day im going to thank my mom for all she did, and tried the very best with what she had and only way she knew how to be.
Surely Jack has the resources needed to make an adoption happen and take him home. I don't think money is an issue for JB. It might take a bit, but it is possible. But surely he don't want the responsibility. He was just there for the publicity. I wonder what movie he was making or had just finished filming at the time
@@MinhaFamiliaAQBJJ If it were that easy wouldn't everyone just adopt children instead of having them. There is obviously more responsibility in raising a child than just throwing money at them especially a child that has experienced homelessness and who knows what else, the mental support they would need in dealing with any trauma is not for the faint of heart. It is also difficult to adopt from some developing nations because of the worry of human trafficking and the sex trade from one fucked up situation to another.
This poor child is absolutely so brave and puts so much into perspective, we find our selves complaining about things that have no importance and here this young boy is just simply wanting an education :(
This kid is basically saying "rescue me from this life". That's a desperate cry for help. My heart just shatters witnessing this and being unable to help.
The thing IS-whatever is given, in this environment, has to be considered because it can ALSO be the reason the child gets robbed/injured by those around him who want/need the same...best to get him (all of them) safely out of the environment...if we cannot take him out of the environment (bring him home with us) at the present moment, then water and food... Donating is probably the BEST way to help BEYOND that because it takes resources to put up buildings that can potentially house and educate-make food and water (laundry, showers etc) available to the homeless... Idk but it’s a very difficult situation and I (for years) help where I can locally...whether it be water, food, season appropriate clothing, pillows, plastic sheets (shelter from rain), etc...it depends on the circumstances...and the number of homeless people here since covid era has gone up sharply-we all KNOW this-but at least the resources HERE (in the us) are more readily available... It’s not perfect by any means but it would be so much better for this 12 year old, if there were similar resources available to him.
@Justin Wilson the kid would need identification and/or a passport. Also a reason why he entered Africa without a kid and is now leaving with a kid, many factors and it could take a while too
What scares me most is there’s people out there like jack..but who have bad intentions. With how quickly Felix wanted to go with him, we see that tactic employed a lot. Adults being kind to street children, giving them food, clothing, or promises of a place to stay or education. And just like Felix..,they’re often more than willing to go. To trust. And only to be taken advantage of.
100 percent. Very scary. In some instances - Felix was safer on that hill with all those people around him than if some 'savior' came in and took him home...
@benji As Judge Judy says, either you're playing dumb or it's not an act. You don't just grab a kid and take them as your property, there are laws in Uganda like anywhere else, and that's not even getting into the rules Jack had to agree to for this program.
@benji it is what it is. Things happen people make it hard for other people jack may not be able to take him home but he can give him one out there and find him a job and education he is already doing what most of us aren't doing for these people which is alot.
@@hodl7926 yes he did. Why would he lie about it? He said he will help him and he did he said he will help him get an education and he did. Stop bagging on Jack Black he did more for these African people than most black Americans would ever have.
I hated to hear that because I used to be in a foster home and that hit me hard asf ik it's not the same but still it sucks to not know your parents or siblings and it just sucks...
@@lowkeyxane7377 foster children go through so much, and it is Heartbreaking for any child to be alone. I am sorry you had to go through that but one thing for sure, it seems like you have a beautiful soul ❤ especially to feel saddened by someone else's pain. May God bless you 🙌
True but we can’t blame ourselves for the misfortunes of others. I just help people who are In need because I feel like I’m letting myself down when I don’t and it’s the morally correct thing to do. I don’t help people because I feel sorry for them I just understand life and when you stop judging people you begin to understand them and then begin to understand yourself.
@Douglas Mawer It depends what part of America we're talking about. I went to a ghetto middle school where the educational system was pretty much nonexistent. Teachers were terrible people and did not actually teach. Edit: When I moved to a better neighborhood and went to a better school, there was definitely a significant difference. Had to do a lot of catching up, which was a little embarrassing at the beginning. Eventually, I went into college for Medical. Before settling into Billing and Coding. Took Computer Science on the side so I'd have two career options.
I had to go homeless a few years ago, but my dad was right there with me and we were able to get out of it quickly, cant imagine going at it without him...
When Felix asked if he could go home with Jack. I think they broke each other’s hearts. Jack saying he can’t and Felix wanting to leave but Jack can’t do it.
Cant help thinking about the other celebrities ranting about how we have to take them in and at the same time owning several mansions all over the place only to themselves.. At least Jack went there, but did he do it for free? Has he given anything himself?
@Albert Lopez That's basically saying he should take as many of those kids off the streets as he could and take them home. But that shit ain't gonna fix their country. Us funding their schools, starting from the core of the country's current motives and ensuring more and more of their youth are educated, will in fact change their country for the better.
@Albert Lopez sorry if I offended you bruh, but what do you think is the solution to helping get those African kids off the streets if my idea isn't realistic enough?
Lets be real for a minute, that was a kid desperately asking the first lifeline he has seen in a while for help. It was pretty heartbreaking the response was no. I love JB, been listening to his music now since Tribute was a radio hit but I think I just lost a little bit of respect for him. Realistically it was/is within his power to take steps to adopt that specific child, it wouldnt be easy but it definately would be possible for him. Considering we see the lavish life JB has access to. But I completely understand how saying anything other than a no at that point would have been daunting and life changing for JB. Just wish his compassion outweighed his fear
Analysts differ on how much of the debt stems from the military; other groups estimate 50% to 60%. We use 80% because we believe if there had been no military spending most (if not all) of the national debt would have been eliminated.
I Can't imagine being a kid with nothing. It's so heartbreaking. From experience I have been American homeless which in comparison is nothing. I am a veteran and have been fortunate enough to find a place. I will pray for kids like the young boy in the video that they can be safe and have something to eat. God bless all the children.
What serious side? Sorry but he won't help the kid himself only donations will be used. What kind of a human creates a bond with a homeless 12 year old and only offers help if strangers on UA-cam donate. He broke that boys heart for no reason.
@@Itisfinished2024 spending time with Felix was a thing he didn’t need to do, you realize that right. That probably made that kids whole week right there. He’s probably not noticed or paid attention to. Do you genuinely think that Jack Black would bring him home? Logistically and legally probably not happening.
@@billyjean_7846 lol there is no way sonic boom actually is capable of helping others by taking from themself. Got that problem of others have more so they should give their money and time.
@@TEFLONDONTRUMP2024 yeah but it's like saying why don't you adopt a child?? It's easier to just blame something on others when we're just sitting behind our screens, jack already helped by creating awareness and hopefully raise more money to try to make their situation a bit better....
Greed & not to mention we have the wrong people's in power. They only care for themselves thier families keeping their fucked up secrets a secret & thier lifestyles. 7 families run planet earth. This shit needs to stop. Been going on for to long now.
Amazing... My wife and I lived in Jinja, Uganda in 2009 ... we were able to get 40 street kids in school and set a food program up.. Tribalism is real (local gov treated them like trash throwing them in concentration camp type detention centers and local merchants even set live wire traps in their dumpsters .. killed one kid) The ones that were labeled the most (savage) by even the poor locals ended up being top 3 in their class in the first year. We even saw a soccer team formed with the kids and by the end of our time these kids were literally helping build mud huts in their own community and going through the streets feeding the poor .. Our friends continued the ministry on for year and many awesome things came from these incredible street kids. Keep up the good work people!
@@unitedking4989 Mr. Black answers the kid by saying he doesn't think they'll allow him to take the kid with him, but won't even make an effort and say I'll change one of my American dollars into your native currency for you to have. So when I'm back in my 35 room mansion house in California, U.S.A, I can rest peacefully knowing you are doing okay. What a Phony!
@@rulta there’s laws buddy , his money can’t be transferred by the millions or hundreds of thousands it has to be funded through and then to another company not as easy as it sounds
@@rulta Dude, even if he wanted to... the truth is even with money, the real world has complexities. There's many things Jack could have done. He could've taken him to a hotel and given him food and shelter (to paraphrase a comment somewhere here), but there's also legal complications. He's not a citizen, he's a visitor. Who knows what laws Uganda has?? Also, how do you know charities will even help these kids? What about the government of Uganda? What are they doing to combat this? What about the local organizations there? Yeah, he's a celebrity. Yes, he has millions. Yes, he should've done this. He should've done that. He's a douche and only cares for himself? Guess what, he went to fuckin *Uganda.* He spent _a day_ with Felix. He was a part of this video, and this was made to push awareness of his and others' situation. I can tell you that I would happily give my money to help countries like Uganda, but I am also trying to live on my own and I come first. I need to research as well where my money will go. Even if he's a celebrity, he is _a human being._ Despite the many things he could've done, he shouldn't bend over for you. He has a kid of his own, he has responsibilities for himself. He has his own life. Don't count on celebrities to do good deeds for yourself. Shut the fuck up, stop being selfish about others, wake up, research about where you can put your money, and put in the deed for yourself. Grow up
@@rulta Dude, you sound like a dumbass spewing out how he can do whatever he wants just because he has money. I hate charity shaming assholes like you.
@@GaugeMe43 there are unfortunately a lot of uneducated people in this comment section who don’t understand that money doesn’t bring you maximum happiness. Are we forgetting about Robin Williams ?
He would be able to adopt him, jack was bullshiting through his teeth. He just didnt wanna take him home because his an uptight celebrity putting on an image
@@jakeford3360 having known a few people at my church who adopted 3 kids from Haiti, it took them 6 years to get them into the U.S. don’t generalize just because he’s a “celebrity”.

@@jakeford3360 here’s an update article from the following year. borgenproject.org/red-nose-day-updates-jack-black/ Yeah, jack is a real asshole for basically funding his education and that he is now with a foster family. I suggest you take back what you said lmao.
@@nathandrums0 prove it time and time again my man, but people like jake are cynical fuckheads who use negativity to prove to themselves that they are better than they actually are. Jake is a nobody, and will always be that way, so he has to live through these videos, and pick them apart so he doesnt feel as insignificant
It's these kind of things that make me more appreciative of what we have. There are kids out there with nothing, and the nerves of me asking for a gaming setup, damn. It just shows us how spoiled we are, having water at our disposal. Food in the cabinet. This just shows how greedy people are.

Expect we only "REALLY" learn in College where we actually get a chance to find a specialization and expand on it. Not to mention a lot of what we learn in Middle School - High School is either factually wrong or completely pointless.
Yes you are right. I should really appreciate learning about what some ancient general did 600 years ago. And i will from this day forth, respect the fact that i had to learn quadratic equations and pythagoras theorem. All very useful life skills and knowledge there...
@@dm6187 SAME! I’m doing everything possible to accomplish my dreams and when I do I will do everything in my power to go and help as many people as I can. I don’t want to fucking call or do a donation fuck that it breaks my heart seeing children! Suffer and live like this daily. It really angers me a kid should be smiling doing foolish things having fun but not that the case in some places 😢 if I ever become rich me helping and giving is one of my goals in life now And it’s funny cus if u knew me in real life y’all wouldn’t think I would be that kind of person with that mentality
This is gut wrenching. That child could be the next Einstein. That boy could be the next Tom Brady or could have been the CEO of Amazon. This is just a reminder of what opportunity that most of have and take for granted. All he wants is a chance. Just a chance to get an education and make something of his life.
The people who disliked, seems that they don’t understand the meaning of human love, jack black is a hero by heart and soul by spending a day with a child that was homeless and it also makes me sad that there is still many more children out there who don’t have homes, I hope everyone can support homeless kids, and I pray to every child to receive love and a warm home🙏
He did a wonderful portrayal of a "covicted killer" in a movie... its called "Bernie" based on true events. Check it out, he can do funny n serious! He is a 4 star actor!
Well what’s he or you done for Felix now? My respect is the same for him but what about yourself? This comment was two days ago and this video was 5 years ago. Where is Felix now?!
With his money he could have figured something out. Many celebrities adopt kids from Africa and other countries. I just hope he was was part of getting this boy off the streets into a place where he is safe and cared for.
Yea it hurts, I’m only 15 but I’m training to be a boxer since I’m not academically smart yk, and I’m from a small town and hearing people say you can be champion of the world is huge for me, but when I fight I just wanna use the money for other people in the world that need it more then me , my names Oscar Castillo and hopefully I make it soon
@helogoode he could certainly give him money though, a few thousand dollars even would greatly help that kid, he can't help them all, but he can give that kid money, and I hope he did
Imagine if each one of us who are capable of sharing their fortunes accepted a struggling child into our lives, & helped their growth as a functioning part of society...? I can imagine it. I truly can 😞
jack black is wicked. he has $50 million but wont spend a dime. he has the nerve to ask others to help but yet he wont do anythin to help those kids in need. on judgment day Jesus is gonna separate the sheeps from the goats and send the wicked goats away to hell. its impossible for a rich person to go to heaven. they're selfish and greedy. jack black u need to repent and turn to Jesus
One of my favorite celebrities.A person whom constantly humbles himself by exposing himself to variables others suffer from.That’s what everybody needs to do in the world right now.
You're an idiot Simple English isn't a measure of wealth, you forgot that we were oppressed and the oppressors shoved their language down our throats, because they couldn't be bothered to learn our languages.
If I was jack black in that moment where Felix said “I want to go with you but...” I would’ve broken down and just taken him with me I couldn’t stand to think that I can help this poor boy so much and didn’t take the chance at it
You really think he gave a shit about that kid? Do you not even realize its common for celebrities to go to foreign countries to harvest children for that "Hollywood Super Serum" ADRENOCHOME!!!
You could save a lot of money on your garbage bill with the kid. And you could put him in a tent outside or even just whatever. A box. Or a bunch of cereal boxes. Or even the garbage But I wouldn’t pay for garbage service if I had that kid. I’d just let him do his thing.
Google global truth project and read "the Present" to see the truth about life/death. Nothing is more important than checking it is true, especially pgs 1-4
I was never a Jack Black fan... until now. Tragic, sad, heart-wrenching but so full of hope. I truly hope Felix has his dreams of an education and a family come true.
Praying for you Jack! Help as many kids as you possibly can bro! God loves those amazing beautiful children!!! This is great to see coming from someone from Hollywood. Shine some light there too man!
@@icedsmoke - Are you comparing being homeless in Uganda and LA ? Those two situations are so far apart, they can't be mention in the same sentence. 12 yo, no parents, no family and on survival mode everyday. I don't think there is shelters in Uganda either. Very bad comment you have made.
How hard it must have been for Jack to tell the young boy he couldn’t go home with him. You could see the disappointment in the boys face. He may have asked in a joking way but he was coming from a place of deep desperation to say that….He was 12…I mean TWELVE😩 That’s practically a baby still!! My goodness gracious!! May God cover and protect all children everywhere!! 💖💕💝
Ik what it's like. I used to be homeless. Was homeless for a year. I now have a roof over my head. But some of these children aren't so fortunate. This story touched my heart. There's so much pain and suffering in this world. Children are our future. These kids need our help. These young souls need our help and support. Please help these children get a home get their education. My heart is aching cause of this predicament. We need to do something now. If not for us. Do it for them who need our help now more than ever.
My heart break when Felix told him that he would like to go with Jack Black. That there was desperation to get out of the streets but it's just sad that he can' t just take Felix with him and I am 100% sure that it was hard for Jack as well, not being able to help him at that very moment.
@@VAVORiAL "Getting him"? He's not a dog, you moron. He's a human being. And you have no idea under what conditions she got pregnant - maybe the dad told her he'd stick around, maybe extended family originally supported her but they died as well, etc. People's financial and health situations can change in an instant. You know nothing of her life to call her selfish.
Unfortunately some mothers couldn’t care less for their children (not taking about Felix or his mom). Same goes for some “fathers.” The true problem is people having kids without supporting them (or being able to). The solution is contraceptives, responsibility, consequences, and basic income.
Damn Jack, when he said he wants to go with you... how you held it together I'll never know. Then that poor kid started crying when you couldn't take him...
Imagine being so desperate to get off the streets and out of your situation you’re willing to up and go live with a stranger who you just met so heartbreaking 🤦🏻♂️💔
I’m feeling pretty sad today, but I think Felix knows a sadness much deeper than I’ll ever experience. My heart goes out to everyone feeling alone tonight. Felix, I hope you’re ok....😘
@@faheema6736 Oh that’s sad. If it’s true my heart hopes he’s free now. But of course they still must carry the organization on and that costs money for other Felix’s facing this life.

@pdaddah LOL "The only Africa I wanna see is lion king" "consistently and thoroughly generation after generation impoverished people" thanks for leading with your low intelligence and ending with it. Don't worry dumb dumb you won't be smart enough to even recognize when they're in your face anyway or even afford to live within their vicinity you trailer trash hick. You have enough to worry about with your impoverished mind, that should keep you busy.
@pdaddah HAHAHA you actually think you're bragging and proving something! STFU you trailer trash hick and go back in your trailer, nobody wants to hear wha you have to say or hear about your imaginary wealth. Go find your missing tooth, maybe you'll find your brain while you're at it. Trash.
I continue to rewatch this video over the years to remind me of why I will never stop fighting for the CHILDREN of the world.. you are all so beautiful and loved by God and me.. you WILL NEVER be forgotten.. this video hit me to my core and always will.
Jack had his hand on child’s shoulder but child shoved it away when Jack started to get closer. When your in a life or death situation where you have to stay strong and astute, getting a hug, breaking down can be the difference between just not being able to take it anymore or continuing to fight to survive. If Jack was not able to save him…Kid could not afford to soften.😔
I wish Jack could’ve sponsored this kid he doesn’t need to take him back to America but put him in a good school and pay his maintenance fees. Basically adopt him from afar.
It's because he actually doesn't give a shit. Just like every other celebrity be who gets paid by charities to make/sponsor shit like this. Instead of spending their own millions to help people, they ask regular people with modest incomes & soft hearts to donate to places where only 1-10% of the actual donations make it to the people/places they claim are the reason they exist to help to begin with. It's a circle jerk tax write off/money laundering scheme for most of these charities. Notice how NOTHING has changed in Africa over the last 100 years when we've dumped hundreds of billions into charities & hundreds of billions in foreign aid to try to help lift the continent from the 3rd world.
@@brandoj4866 and have you verified he's not being paid? You hear him? "All the money we are going to raise." I didn't hear him say "donate", did you? Stop believing these narcissistic attention whores. "Oh look how virtuous I am. I won't spend a dime from my millions to save these poor African children (in fact I'm the one being paid to be here) but you should totally give us cash from your modest income that way I my check clears."
Comics, clowns, jokers, and jesters have a long history of community work and rebellion for the people. Jack Black continued a noble line that day, great work for the Red Nose Day org.
Honestly i woukd not have left him. Inwould at least made sure he had his own hut or cubicle apartment and tuition. With that money and the exchange it would not have been much.
@@Larindarr you're also not a soulless Hollywood scum bag pandering to a homeless kid in Uganda for " donations" 3, 000 people are living homeless on the streets of Hollywood right now I'm sure Jack sees them every day.
@@ericpearson3156 thank you! They go to africa looking for some sentimental type shit when here in the states homelessness is all around. I used to sleep in tunnels in vegas. Im glad ppl are out there that help by bringing homeless food and cloths in certain spots around the city. But comeon he can go a few blocks and im sure hell find a homeless man woman family to help. Donating to charity is great but i do want to point out that some homeless dont go to those services. Whatever the reason is they cant access those services. I think it helps to help any homeless wherever you see them
"Felix is every bit as brilliant and sharp as any kid I've met." This is the most sobering part of the video. One's future is heavily influenced by where they were born - a very literal geographic lottery. Poor Felix.
@Michael Jones I wasn’t even talking about it in context of Uganda anyway. I was just replying to someone saying that their friends don’t believe “privilege” is real
Jack helps with an organization that receives funds through Red Nose. They helped that child get into a foster home. He also sponsored a child in Chile.
Kids are homeless everywhere. Im in USA and when I was 13 I lived in the woods with a groups of other kids from my age to like 19 and we all had each other’s backs and watched out for each other
People ask why Jack Black is asking for money when he has money. I'm sure Jack Black is donating his money to this cause since he cares so much for it. He's also bringing awareness to the situation & to the children. If everyone would care as much as he does, maybe we can save one child at a time. So, if you aren't helping, please don't post negative statements. May God continue to keep YOU safe, warm & sheltered, for YOU are one of the privileged. PnL
Exactly, we only saw that one kid God knows what the rest homless kids are going through. For one kid offcourse Jack can do it but in a bigger scale its difficult for one man.
That's the problem with America... He worked for that money and he's still donating a lot... I always say to people thT complain about rich people not giving out their hard earned money... So you don't have a TV? A car? A place to sleep? Maybe an xbox and an iphone? But you don't hav money to donate right? Fucking liberals even if you're "poor" in America you are absolutely blessed with luxory
Antonio Higgins yeah because rich Republicans are known for helping poor people. Get real. You said a lot of right things, but putting the guilt on liberals is just ridiculous. I noticed you didn't mention anything about Republicans so I just wanted to put that out there.
Yeah, because liberals are the ones forcing children that just want to have a good life in America to go to Mexico even though they've never been there. It's liberals that are obsessed with cutting taxes on the richest people in America and ensuring they keep it all in their own pocket.
I can't imagine how lonely it gets on the streets like that, especially when you can't trust anyone. It must have been the first time he felt love. He wanted a father for sure in that moment

Equal opportunity is the only right and long term way to fix this problem, but as u can see there is not a very good way to provide opportunities in 3rd world countries (something that jack is literally doing in this video with education). U make no sense
We, human beings make the poor, and keep them poor, no matter what we do, EVER, we will ALWAYS make the poor, the hungry, the hopeless, famine, war etc. Yep, we're the best!!

Mannnnnn people like you are exactly what people going through hard times, be it emotionally, financially, mentally, etc., etc., etc. like me and many others sadly and unfortunately, needed to see. It gives me hope and will and drive to live. It sounds crazy that this gives hope and a will/drive? It is hell. But it shows how fortunate we are. I can't wait to hear/see who Felix will become. With a heart and soul like his, he will be someone that will do something really great one day. A pure soul breaks down the tallest most reinforced walls and fence 💔😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. The most hardened hearts get broken apart and cruel souks get shattered to smithirines, seeing such amazing incredible drive certain human beings like Felix and you my friend possess. So happy you're still alive. Surviving and have survived some of the hardest circumstances and situations that life has to throw at us and challenge us with and doing well. You deserve it my brother! ❤️❤️❤️ keep on fighting my brother 🤗. You are an angel and an inspiration to us all that have seen this video of Felix and have read your comment response.
How did u make it out?
Jack Black just did more than probably 99% of other actors who act like they care. He straight up went to the source, experienced the struggles and tried his best to know how we can all help.
For years I’ve felt actors like Jack are being under-valued because they aren’t as relevant anymore but now I realize he’s just doing what he wants to do.
Jack if you somehow see this, there still millions of us who love you as an actor and know you’re a good person.
so hard for both of them... i dont think.... if i had means... i would of been able to leave felix there. i wouldve absorbed so much of his pain that i probably would have tried to sneak him on my Private Jet. It would live with me every night knowing that he is sleeping out in the cold.
Tis that is true that’s why everyone loves me beast.

This comment section is a good example of separation regarding belief. If I'm a democrat, why the fuck do i gotta hate on republicans? If i'm a christian, why do we look different at other religions?
1. Most of that (religion especially) is the same shit told in a different way or using different names. Politics: We should actually be the leaders. Those parties only serve to show ideas, if we were smarter, we'd know that all of the parties have good and bad, why not just take the good? Parties should only serve to show ideas, and we'd vote on the ideas we actually think it's worth it, but we can't do that shit cuz we gotta monopolize everything.
2. Living in harmony/balance is one of the hardest, but most beautiful things, why don't we go for that instead of just choosing sides blindly? As a guy who read a lot on different religions, I find it stupid how people associate with stuff they barely know the meaning of.
Simplest way of explaining my 'sadness' is: If I like football, and the art of football itself, why do I gotta choose a team? I read a lotta comments too, and people discuss and insult each other over the stupidiest shits, just goes to show how we're not evolving in the brain, but the other way around..

Surely Jack has the resources needed to make an adoption happen and take him home. I don't think money is an issue for JB. It might take a bit, but it is possible. But surely he don't want the responsibility. He was just there for the publicity. I wonder what movie he was making or had just finished filming at the time
@@MinhaFamiliaAQBJJ red nose days organiser's and the American Government have another thing to say on that.
@@MinhaFamiliaAQBJJ If it were that easy wouldn't everyone just adopt children instead of having them. There is obviously more responsibility in raising a child than just throwing money at them especially a child that has experienced homelessness and who knows what else, the mental support they would need in dealing with any trauma is not for the faint of heart. It is also difficult to adopt from some developing nations because of the worry of human trafficking and the sex trade from one fucked up situation to another.

@@markyncole Hahaha. So underrated.
This poor child is absolutely so brave and puts so much into perspective, we find our selves complaining about things that have no importance and here this young boy is just simply wanting an education :(
This kid is basically saying "rescue me from this life". That's a desperate cry for help. My heart just shatters witnessing this and being unable to help.
I pray he's doing okay
The thing IS-whatever is given, in this environment, has to be considered because it can ALSO be the reason the child gets robbed/injured by those around him who want/need the same...best to get him (all of them) safely out of the environment...if we cannot take him out of the environment (bring him home with us) at the present moment, then water and food...
Donating is probably the BEST way to help BEYOND that because it takes resources to put up buildings that can potentially house and educate-make food and water (laundry, showers etc) available to the homeless...
Idk but it’s a very difficult situation and I (for years) help where I can locally...whether it be water, food, season appropriate clothing, pillows, plastic sheets (shelter from rain), etc...it depends on the circumstances...and the number of homeless people here since covid era has gone up sharply-we all KNOW this-but at least the resources HERE (in the us) are more readily available...
It’s not perfect by any means but it would be so much better for this 12 year old, if there were similar resources available to him.

What scares me most is there’s people out there like jack..but who have bad intentions. With how quickly Felix wanted to go with him, we see that tactic employed a lot. Adults being kind to street children, giving them food, clothing, or promises of a place to stay or education. And just like Felix..,they’re often more than willing to go. To trust. And only to be taken advantage of.
100 percent. Very scary. In some instances - Felix was safer on that hill with all those people around him than if some 'savior' came in and took him home...
Kid actually wanted Jack to take him home....so sad he had to say no.
@benji Are you deaf ? He said he went there to show everyone their living conditions to convince people to donate to support him
@benji As Judge Judy says, either you're playing dumb or it's not an act. You don't just grab a kid and take them as your property, there are laws in Uganda like anywhere else, and that's not even getting into the rules Jack had to agree to for this program.
You can’t just take some kid home it’s not allowed.

@Douglas Mawer It depends what part of America we're talking about. I went to a ghetto middle school where the educational system was pretty much nonexistent. Teachers were terrible people and did not actually teach.
Edit: When I moved to a better neighborhood and went to a better school, there was definitely a significant difference. Had to do a lot of catching up, which was a little embarrassing at the beginning. Eventually, I went into college for Medical. Before settling into Billing and Coding. Took Computer Science on the side so I'd have two career options.
The fact that the boy has goals and still smiles is gorgeous.
I had to go homeless a few years ago, but my dad was right there with me and we were able to get out of it quickly, cant imagine going at it without him...
When Felix asked if he could go home with Jack. I think they broke each other’s hearts. Jack saying he can’t and Felix wanting to leave but Jack can’t do it.
Cant help thinking about the other celebrities ranting about how we have to take them in and at the same time owning several mansions all over the place only to themselves.. At least Jack went there, but did he do it for free? Has he given anything himself?
@Albert Lopez That's basically saying he should take as many of those kids off the streets as he could and take them home. But that shit ain't gonna fix their country. Us funding their schools, starting from the core of the country's current motives and ensuring more and more of their youth are educated, will in fact change their country for the better.
@Albert Lopez sorry if I offended you bruh, but what do you think is the solution to helping get those African kids off the streets if my idea isn't realistic enough?
@Albert Lopez damn this ain’t ig so ain’t gonna argue with an old man that got 10 more left years left on this earth
Lets be real for a minute, that was a kid desperately asking the first lifeline he has seen in a while for help. It was pretty heartbreaking the response was no. I love JB, been listening to his music now since Tribute was a radio hit but I think I just lost a little bit of respect for him. Realistically it was/is within his power to take steps to adopt that specific child, it wouldnt be easy but it definately would be possible for him. Considering we see the lavish life JB has access to.
But I completely understand how saying anything other than a no at that point would have been daunting and life changing for JB. Just wish his compassion outweighed his fear
that must have been the hardest thing jack had to say to that young man. I don't think I can take you home. I don't think it's allowed.
yeah, i dont know how jack wouldve walked away
Analysts differ on how much of the debt stems from the military; other groups estimate 50% to 60%. We use 80% because we believe if there had been no military spending most (if not all) of the national debt would have been eliminated.

Which is my other account? I have no idea what youre talking about buddy,maybe you need a check-up.
Tony M seeing the kid face sulk does hurt.
This kid doesn’t even go to school and he’s a far better student than the majority of kids.
I Can't imagine being a kid with nothing. It's so heartbreaking. From experience I have been American homeless which in comparison is nothing. I am a veteran and have been fortunate enough to find a place. I will pray for kids like the young boy in the video that they can be safe and have something to eat. God bless all the children.
The serious side of Jack black is something I didn't know I needed .....

Amazing... My wife and I lived in Jinja, Uganda in 2009 ... we were able to get 40 street kids in school and set a food program up.. Tribalism is real (local gov treated them like trash throwing them in concentration camp type detention centers and local merchants even set live wire traps in their dumpsters .. killed one kid) The ones that were labeled the most (savage) by even the poor locals ended up being top 3 in their class in the first year. We even saw a soccer team formed with the kids and by the end of our time these kids were literally helping build mud huts in their own community and going through the streets feeding the poor .. Our friends continued the ministry on for year and many awesome things came from these incredible street kids. Keep up the good work people!

You know Jack would like to take him home. To have a better life.
With his money he could have figured something out. Many celebrities adopt kids from Africa and other countries. I just hope he was was part of getting this boy off the streets into a place where he is safe and cared for.
My throat got really tight when the kid said "I want to go with you" and he said "I don't think you can, I don't think it's allowed".
I know right...am I a little bitch lol
Terrible, he could have said, I can't do that, but I can do this, etc, but, why couldn't he? He has so much money
@@akitanochero money cant just do that bro it takes a whole lot more than that
@@kkpage01100 money can do it all. It just makes it easier.
@@akitanochero Rich white people cant just go over and take impovrished kids lmfao thats what epstein did yah dummy
“ I don’t want to stay on the streets I wanna go with you” that hurt me 🥺🥺
Yea it hurts, I’m only 15 but I’m training to be a boxer since I’m not academically smart yk, and I’m from a small town and hearing people say you can be champion of the world is huge for me, but when I fight I just wanna use the money for other people in the world that need it more then me , my names Oscar Castillo and hopefully I make it soon
@@lilpico9040 one day Oscar, you’ll be big.
I would have taken him in if I was jack I'd have done anything I could to get him off the streets
and if jack black truly gave a shit hed have that kid with him in the us right NOW
@helogoode he could certainly give him money though, a few thousand dollars even would greatly help that kid, he can't help them all, but he can give that kid money, and I hope he did
Imagine if each one of us who are capable of sharing their fortunes accepted a struggling child into our lives, & helped their growth as a functioning part of society...?
I can imagine it. I truly can 😞
I think Jack Black is one of the best people on the planet. This man is amazing in everything he does
Damn when he said “I want to go with you” shii hurt man
Real shit man
jack black is wicked. he has $50 million but wont spend a dime. he has the nerve to ask others to help but yet he wont do anythin to help those kids in need. on judgment day Jesus is gonna separate the sheeps from the goats and send the wicked goats away to hell. its impossible for a rich person to go to heaven. they're selfish and greedy. jack black u need to repent and turn to Jesus
Vanessa bunnie calm tf down lol you sound ridiculous. Who knows what he did for that kid? I’m sure he donated money too.
@@napoleondynamite4148 she copy and pasted this everywhere because runs a cult or sumn

This is that "5 years later" UA-cam algorithm... Can we get the 5 years later update on Felix... go back to his sleeping spot
Statistically speaking....
No. You really don't want that update
Nah fr they gotta
Another comment chain said he was found a foster family and is getting an education.
@@Judg3m3nt I surely hope so
Yes I would sure like to know how he's doing
One of my favorite celebrities.A person whom constantly humbles himself by exposing himself to variables others suffer from.That’s what everybody needs to do in the world right now.
I'm not going to cry- starts crying immediately. I love Jack black

Street kid that can speak English as a second language. He's smart.
English, together with Swahili, are the two common languages in Uganda.
It's their primary language lmao
English is one of the primary languages
You're an idiot
Simple
English isn't a measure of wealth, you forgot that we were oppressed and the oppressors shoved their language down our throats, because they couldn't be bothered to learn our languages.
You would be surprised by how many languages people from various parts of Africa will speak fluently.
The reason why I look up to Jack Black is that he is a genuine person.
If I was jack black in that moment where Felix said “I want to go with you but...” I would’ve broken down and just taken him with me I couldn’t stand to think that I can help this poor boy so much and didn’t take the chance at it
It’s not that easy. You can’t just go to other countries and take kids back with you. There is a lengthy process.
@@mr.roboto7330 yeah I know it’s sad :/ I know Jack meant all good there and probably would have taken Felix with him if he could.
You really think he gave a shit about that kid? Do you not even realize its common for celebrities to go to foreign countries to harvest children for that "Hollywood Super Serum" ADRENOCHOME!!!
@@someoneinnv8179 Shut up
You could save a lot of money on your garbage bill with the kid.
And you could put him in a tent outside or even just whatever. A box. Or a bunch of cereal boxes. Or even the garbage
But I wouldn’t pay for garbage service if I had that kid. I’d just let him do his thing.
Bro... The "I wanna go with you"
He knows he can't but at the same time, you can still see the disappointment 😭
I would’ve been so hurt to have to leave that kid alone and come home to my house with water and heat. I am truly grateful for what I have.
I know right.
That broke me. All the way to the deepest parts of me.
That’s the part that hits you right in the gut idc who you are

I was never a Jack Black fan... until now. Tragic, sad, heart-wrenching but so full of hope. I truly hope Felix has his dreams of an education and a family come true.
Praying for you Jack! Help as many kids as you possibly can bro! God loves those amazing beautiful children!!! This is great to see coming from someone from Hollywood. Shine some light there too man!
So we’re all here after youtube putting this on our recommended?
For some reason yes. Btw, you don’t need to go to Uganda to find homeless kids. Jack Black lives in LA, he could have just drove a few miles.
Yep
@@icedsmoke - Are you comparing being homeless in Uganda and LA ? Those two situations are so far apart, they can't be mention in the same sentence. 12 yo, no parents, no family and on survival mode everyday. I don't think there is shelters in Uganda either. Very bad comment you have made.
@@freedoms2010 go tell the kids in the streets of LA being abused every night. Very dumb comment you made.
If your a bum its your own fault.
Jack really does care about poor kids, like that time where he tried to give that little girl a chocolate bar on skull island...
Fucking hell 😭😂😂
💀💀💀💀 you did that😂💪
🤭😄😄😄😄😄😄
Lmao
💀💀💀💀💀
How hard it must have been for Jack to tell the young boy he couldn’t go home with him. You could see the disappointment in the boys face. He may have asked in a joking way but he was coming from a place of deep desperation to say that….He was 12…I mean TWELVE😩 That’s practically a baby still!! My goodness gracious!! May God cover and protect all children everywhere!!
💖💕💝
Ik what it's like. I used to be homeless. Was homeless for a year. I now have a roof over my head. But some of these children aren't so fortunate. This story touched my heart. There's so much pain and suffering in this world. Children are our future. These kids need our help. These young souls need our help and support. Please help these children get a home get their education. My heart is aching cause of this predicament. We need to do something now. If not for us. Do it for them who need our help now more than ever.
My heart break when Felix told him that he would like to go with Jack Black. That there was desperation to get out of the streets but it's just sad that he can' t just take Felix with him and I am 100% sure that it was hard for Jack as well, not being able to help him at that very moment.
@@Floridaburg- stfu dude. He was eating out of the garbage cans. With no parents have you EVER done that? Nah man. You’re pathetic.
@@Floridaburg- you dont know if jack gave him anything or not. Either way hes very prone to being robbed if he had any money like that
If i was the richo one. And I spend a day with this kid. I will give him something special like a house. So he can sleep well💯
@@jackfrost1337 ya know what, simple enough
@@jackfrost1337 what about the other kids though and how they'll feel. You gotta see the bigger picture.
Can't imagine what must of went through his mother's mind before she died - leaving your child like this is any mother's nightmare.
true what a selfish bitch
Getting him in the first place was a selfish and cruel act.
@@VAVORiAL "Getting him"? He's not a dog, you moron. He's a human being. And you have no idea under what conditions she got pregnant - maybe the dad told her he'd stick around, maybe extended family originally supported her but they died as well, etc. People's financial and health situations can change in an instant. You know nothing of her life to call her selfish.
@Sonia Nkansah maybe she did🤷♂️
Unfortunately some mothers couldn’t care less for their children (not taking about Felix or his mom). Same goes for some “fathers.” The true problem is people having kids without supporting them (or being able to). The solution is contraceptives, responsibility, consequences, and basic income.
I have 2 kids 14 and 11 and I can't imagine! I hope he gets the education he deserves
I love Jack Black! He's such a great, amazing, humble human!
He's vegan, which means he's actually putting into action helping children and animals. www.watchdominion.com
Damn Jack, when he said he wants to go with you... how you held it together I'll never know. Then that poor kid started crying when you couldn't take him...
broke my heart
For real 😥😥💔💔
HE IS RICH AS FUCK. HE COULD HAVE BUT DIDN'T. Maybe that fact can change your mind on him.
@@stewg4661 LITERALLY not how that works, but okay buddy.

We are so lucky to live here in America. I hope this kid has gotten a family.
I’m feeling pretty sad today, but I think Felix knows a sadness much deeper than I’ll ever experience. My heart goes out to everyone feeling alone tonight. Felix, I hope you’re ok....😘
The kid died , and they still asking for donations
@@faheema6736
Oh that’s sad. If it’s true my heart hopes he’s free now. But of course they still must carry the organization on and that costs money for other Felix’s facing this life.
@@faheema6736 how do you know if he died?
This pandemic has been hard but watching this video and reading your comment reminds me that I am very lucky to have so much. I also hope that kid, Felix is OK.
That's incredibly kind of you. I hope you're feeling better, Ms Brandt
Maybe the only person he’s actually talked to in a while..
It's Africa, probably not. We are very social people and there's lots of other street kids that form a sort of "community".
@pdaddah happy with yourself?
@pdaddah Africa's a whole ass continent, it's not impoverished everywhere, you sound ignorant
@pdaddah LOL "The only Africa I wanna see is lion king" "consistently and thoroughly generation after generation impoverished people" thanks for leading with your low intelligence and ending with it. Don't worry dumb dumb you won't be smart enough to even recognize when they're in your face anyway or even afford to live within their vicinity you trailer trash hick. You have enough to worry about with your impoverished mind, that should keep you busy.
@pdaddah HAHAHA you actually think you're bragging and proving something! STFU you trailer trash hick and go back in your trailer, nobody wants to hear wha you have to say or hear about your imaginary wealth. Go find your missing tooth, maybe you'll find your brain while you're at it. Trash.
I continue to rewatch this video over the years to remind me of why I will never stop fighting for the CHILDREN of the world.. you are all so beautiful and loved by God and me.. you WILL NEVER be forgotten.. this video hit me to my core and always will.
Why didn't Jack hold the poor boy when he was crying. That broke my heart.
Why does your soul tell you he didn't hold him? Trust it
Looked like the Felix didn’t let him in, too painful once he knew Jack wasn’t going to take him.
Jack had his hand on child’s shoulder but child shoved it away when Jack started to get closer.
When your in a life or death situation where you have to stay strong and astute, getting a hug, breaking down can be the difference between just not being able to take it anymore or continuing to fight to survive. If Jack was not able to save him…Kid could not afford to soften.😔
Imagine jack blacks ride home probably cried the whole way
... Then Jack went back to his multi-million dollar mansion to stuff his face and play video games.
@@kidwave1 so?
@@benjaminlundback8394 so nothing , just saying

@@whatname4613 stfu
I wish Jack could’ve sponsored this kid he doesn’t need to take him back to America but put him in a good school and pay his maintenance fees. Basically adopt him from afar.
Literally my thoughts the entire time watching.
It's because he actually doesn't give a shit. Just like every other celebrity be who gets paid by charities to make/sponsor shit like this. Instead of spending their own millions to help people, they ask regular people with modest incomes & soft hearts to donate to places where only 1-10% of the actual donations make it to the people/places they claim are the reason they exist to help to begin with. It's a circle jerk tax write off/money laundering scheme for most of these charities. Notice how NOTHING has changed in Africa over the last 100 years when we've dumped hundreds of billions into charities & hundreds of billions in foreign aid to try to help lift the continent from the 3rd world.
TheTinLion jack black actually does a lot of charity work so idk where you’re getting that from
@@brandoj4866 and have you verified he's not being paid? You hear him? "All the money we are going to raise." I didn't hear him say "donate", did you?
Stop believing these narcissistic attention whores. "Oh look how virtuous I am. I won't spend a dime from my millions to save these poor African children (in fact I'm the one being paid to be here) but you should totally give us cash from your modest income that way I my check clears."
@@TheTinLion Man woke up and chose violence. You know not everyone who is famous is bad and I think out of everyone Jack is one of the good ones.
Comics, clowns, jokers, and jesters have a long history of community work and rebellion for the people. Jack Black continued a noble line that day, great work for the Red Nose Day org.
“I want to go with you” my god that breaks my heart
I wonder how it felt leaving Felix there and walking away that night
Honestly i woukd not have left him. Inwould at least made sure he had his own hut or cubicle apartment and tuition. With that money and the exchange it would not have been much.
Seeing your only hope of a better life fade away. I’m grateful for where i live and have.
@@Larindarr you're also not a soulless Hollywood scum bag pandering to a homeless kid in Uganda for " donations" 3, 000 people are living homeless on the streets of Hollywood right now I'm sure Jack sees them every day.
@@ericpearson3156 thank you! They go to africa looking for some sentimental type shit when here in the states homelessness is all around. I used to sleep in tunnels in vegas. Im glad ppl are out there that help by bringing homeless food and cloths in certain spots around the city. But comeon he can go a few blocks and im sure hell find a homeless man woman family to help. Donating to charity is great but i do want to point out that some homeless dont go to those services. Whatever the reason is they cant access those services. I think it helps to help any homeless wherever you see them
Definitely would make you re think your life.
"Felix is every bit as brilliant and sharp as any kid I've met." This is the most sobering part of the video. One's future is heavily influenced by where they were born - a very literal geographic lottery. Poor Felix.
But I heard my Conservative friends say privilege is a lie?
@@DrVonNostrand they probably said white privilege is a lie. Which it isn’t . It’s not really hard to see
But you know, America sucks right? We need radical change 🤣🤣
@Michael Jones everything. Study your history
@Michael Jones I wasn’t even talking about it in context of Uganda anyway. I was just replying to someone saying that their friends don’t believe “privilege” is real
Jack helps with an organization that receives funds through Red Nose. They helped that child get into a foster home. He also sponsored a child in Chile.
Kids are homeless everywhere. Im in USA and when I was 13 I lived in the woods with a groups of other kids from my age to like 19 and we all had each other’s backs and watched out for each other
People ask why Jack Black is asking for money when he has money. I'm sure Jack Black is donating his money to this cause since he cares so much for it. He's also bringing awareness to the situation & to the children. If everyone would care as much as he does, maybe we can save one child at a time. So, if you aren't helping, please don't post negative statements. May God continue to keep YOU safe, warm & sheltered, for YOU are one of the privileged. PnL
Exactly, we only saw that one kid God knows what the rest homless kids are going through. For one kid offcourse Jack can do it but in a bigger scale its difficult for one man.
That's the problem with America... He worked for that money and he's still donating a lot... I always say to people thT complain about rich people not giving out their hard earned money... So you don't have a TV? A car? A place to sleep? Maybe an xbox and an iphone? But you don't hav money to donate right? Fucking liberals even if you're "poor" in America you are absolutely blessed with luxory
Antonio Higgins yeah because rich Republicans are known for helping poor people. Get real. You said a lot of right things, but putting the guilt on liberals is just ridiculous. I noticed you didn't mention anything about Republicans so I just wanted to put that out there.
Yeah, because liberals are the ones forcing children that just want to have a good life in America to go to Mexico even though they've never been there. It's liberals that are obsessed with cutting taxes on the richest people in America and ensuring they keep it all in their own pocket.
DrDizzleFrizzle holy shit you don't know shit
I can't imagine how lonely it gets on the streets like that, especially when you can't trust anyone. It must have been the first time he felt love. He wanted a father for sure in that moment

@@vanessabunnie9262 You sound quite wicked yourself. Judge not lest you be judged.
@@vanessabunnie9262 How do you know he didn't/doesn't donate his own money in addition to his time and influence? You want him to give a Ugandan street kid a stack of cash and some nice clothes or something? The kid would be robbed, raped, and murdered by morning if he did that.
@@vanessabunnie9262 it’s quite stupid , thinking your religion means anything to other people’s lives, makes no sense. Jack black already provides a lot as a human being, and has earned all the money he works for. He doesn’t have to donate a dime, although that would be better. Equal opportunity is the only right and long term way to fix this problem, but as u can see there is not a very good way to provide opportunities in 3rd world countries (something that jack is literally doing in this video with education). U make no sense
