Shakira's speech @Harvard University

[lovelplants]

love shakira.. she's good

[EITrollo]

or maybe they awarded her in order to recognize her continuing success at keeping the masses numb 'n' dumb to the benefit of the rich jew elites in control of the unis and other businesses. in which case it was a wise choice if i may observe.

[EITrollo]

i take it that harvard university awarded her with an artist of the year award or something like that and she even held a (self-penned, of course, of course) lecture at the ethics and philosophy department of H. oh well, universities are not what they used to be, or so they say, so they claim...

[betty15]

what does she say at 4:53??? i can't make it out :(

[ANTOALFO66]

@betty15 she says as you would know i´m not mother teresa

[jacquelinemedina25]

A Latino kid the son or daughter of an immigrant, who can't attend school in the United States.

I really love that line because every day, it pertains to more and more Hispanics who are searching for an education, but can't recieve one because of their parents lack of citizenship and their need to keep a steady income.

[tomkosnik]

Thank you Shakira! I am spreading your message to my students, alumni and friends. Yours is a noble cause that deserves our support!

[EITrollo]

@tomkosnik "Thank you Shakira! I am spreading your message to my students, alumni and friends. Yours is a noble cause that deserves our support!"

shut up.

she makes me want to go volunteer in el salvador... such an inspirational person

[EITrollo]

@googley3 "she makes me want to go volunteer in el salvador... such an inspirational person"

you're naive and stoopid, that's why you feel "inspired" by this cheesy peroration. you are also hypocritical cause you will not go to el salvador but you will stay home playing with your cats. just as bluffira will stay on her rich-only island and continue to evangelize us poor while stockpiling her private property.

[googley3]

@EITrollo

wow youre an asshole and you dont know me. i'm currently in the process of applying to the peace corps and medical school. also, next time you establish a foundation and build 6 schools in colombia and one in haiti, become a unicef goodwill ambassador, and promote an organization to provide early childhood education all over latin america, you can criticize shakira. she might be extremely rich, but she got herself there and she uses her position to do a lot of good in the world.

[EITrollo]

@ oh you got me there. i lose. congratulations on your dedication to do some good and join the peace corps. good luck!

yet i cant retreat one step back from what i said about shakira. she ruins with one hand what she alleviates (but never really fixes!) with the other. i know full well about her charity work but i dont buy it. if she was paying income taxes to colombian government (which she doesnt since she lives on an island that has no personal income taxes) many more schools could be built.

[EITrollo]

@gg granted, corrupt colombian government would never do it, but shakira owes that money (and much more) to the lower classes anyway. she is a rich, vile, tasteless, vulgar (her videos!), UNEDUCATED class enemy. she didnt "got herself there", she earned it in most repugnant and dishonorable ways (music business has a way of doing it). but since harvard students cant seem to recognize that i cant expect it from youth in general either. shakira is a good singer and is very pretty, but that is all.

[googley3]

@EITrollo

look, all im saying is that you have no credibility until you put in as much energy into making the world a better place as she has. im sure youre finding it quite easy to fling words like "vulgar" "vile" and "repugnant" out there from your couch. why are you even watching/ commenting on this if all youre gonna be doing is spewing hate? let people be inspired if they want to be...

[EITrollo]

@googley3 again, you are forgetting she has invested even more energy into making the world a worse place. i claim her vulgar image and ethical inconsistency undo her promotion of equality and education and make her a rather dubious "role model". i am NOT spewing hate, just disdain. i have the right to do that. i am watching this because i am really fed up with all the wrong people getting all the admiration and praise. i hope you understand my point, even if you find it hard to appreciate it.

[googley3]

@EITrollo

im sure the kids going to college because of her dont feel like her prancing around in a cage in a video undoes the fact that she gave them an education. your world-view is warped.

[EITrollo]

@googley3 very well. lets just hope those kids get good enough education to enable them to see through the facade of decency behind of which modern idols like shakira hide.

and dont be delusional, she gave them nothing, she OWES them at least that little for all the excess money she acquired in this unjust and unequal world order. what she doesnt owe them though is the "education" in tastelessness that she's been giving for many years now in her MTV and Pepsi sponsored "lectures".

[googley3]

@EITrollo

youre acting like dancing like a slut is the worst thing you could possibly do in the world. also like we dont pay her to do what she does. she's not stealing or scamming anyone. people love her music and go to her concerts and thats why she has a ton of money. im just grateful that she uses her fame and money to seriously make a positive difference in the world. but anyway, me and you are arguing from completely different places. to me, ur values system is completely twisted.

[EITrollo]

@googley3 it's not just about dancing like a slut. it's about so many things that can't be put in 500 characters. and yes, theres a whole lot of scamming in pop music business. people have no idea what they are being sold. that's a given. you have the point though, we are talking from fundamentally different standpoints and will hardly agree on anything. to me it is your system of values which is twisted, and the terrifying thing about it is that it is so pervasive and so impenetrable.

[MrSpearslover]

This woman, person and artist, singer leaves me speechless everytime. Everytime I see her I just feel the tears of pure happiness in my eyes ready to break out and smile that lits up my face like a sunshine........

[moomin82]

What an amazing person. An inspiration. Beautiful, talented, intelligent, she shines inside and out. I think it is great she is promoting these good causes and is making me think I could do more humanitarian things to help people.
