Liberal Activists Upset After White Youtuber Builds 100 Wells for Clean Water across Africa
Mr. Beast, the biggest individual Youtuber in the world, built 100 wells in Africa over eight months, which he says will provide clean drinking water to roughly half a million people in Kenya, Cameroon, Uganda, Zimbabwe, and Somalia. He posted a video that got 67 million views over four days showing how polluted and unhealthy the water in the towns was and then showing the residents in the towns celebrating and thanking him profusely. The reaction to Mr. Beast’s project was mostly positive, but some critics on the internet accused him of racism.
Some people slammed him for so-called racist views for giving charity to Africa, which is impoverished in areas, and for ‘shaming’ the government of Kenya, which has been accused of being corrupt. Mr. Beast was also accused of pursuing profit, which could be used for future projects, but his critics failed to explain why this is bad. Mr. Beast responded by tweeting, “I already know I’m gonna get canceled because I uploaded a video helping people, and to be 100% clear, I don’t care. I’m always going to use my channel to help people and try to inspire my audience to do the same.”
