We see this also on the larger scale outside of America- as America funnels money and food to poorer countries without necessarily asking the people in these countries what they need. This is an oversight by religious groups, government, nonprofits, and Western culture as a whole to…

Additionally, it seems that white and Western people want to “help” communities that have problems caused by white and Western society. When does it ever make sense to trust the people who made the problem fix it?
