*sigh* Apparently, cystic fibrosis is racist

Ok, I'm going to defend this.

I just googled up a breast cancer walk and found a lot of women walking.

I googled up an AIDS walk and the photos look, to me, to be full of gay people.

And, oh look. Michael J. Fox's foundation is about the condition he has. What a coincidence!

What'dya know. People tend to support things that affect them the most.


So what's wrong with any of this? It all seems perfectly fine to me. You all need to do a better job of explaining what your problem is with any of these thing, because I'm not understanding.

Becasue by your reasoning you should support their continued involvement in Cystic Fibrosis, instead of dumping it as they did.

All I'm saying is this: They will eventually pick some other cause. Let's call it "brain cancer kids" just as an example.

I hope to see you all back here next month saying "Hey Brain cancer kids, you suck! You're taking money away from a different disease that I like more!"

Whichever of you does that, I'll actually respect in an odd sort of way. The rest of you who are here now but refuse to finish your argument next month...well, I'd call that a half-baked argument.

I think the real issue here is that they dumped a charity they've been supporting for a long time for a really stupid reason.

They have the right to support whatever charity they choose. They can support "brain cancer kids" and I'd be fine with that, but it's a still a limited audience being reached, just as they claim Cystic Fibrosis is which is why they dumped it in the first place.
