While Bill Gates saved numerous people in poor countries (not only Africa) he doesn't do nearly enough to start important conversations on racial issues /s
Really, fuck the guy who wrote this article. Bill Gates is untouchable. But not many are and they can be scared into not getting involved with sensitive issues for the fear of being attacked in this matter. This kind of shit journalism is actively scaring people from making a difference, as small as they can.
