Alicia Keys said the above words last night to American Idol Watchers. 3.5 million people signed up. This same message and pictures of starving, sad looking Africans hasn't worked for 40 years, and as beautiful as Alicia Keys is, we disagree with her approach. African's are not helpless! We should change the way our government and aid organizations operate within Africa. Sign our food aid petition to help impact real change and support African farmers.

I could not agree with you more. Messages like this, although well intentioned, do nothing to educate the public s to the real issues facing the continent and its people. It is a "feel good”, “big push" response that will (sadly) result in not much more than a short term emotional response from the audience… Or worse, it will galvanize a few of the "big push" proponents and their belief that the popular approach is the right one.
