You either dump icy water on yourself or you donate $100 to the ALS Association, and you tag friends to do the challenge. The viral challenge has raised over $25 million for the charity, which is great. Celebrities like Oprah, , Will Smith and other A-listers have all done it.

After Michael Brown, an unarmed black teen, was gunned down in broad daylight by <a href=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Mens-Jacket>True Religion Mens Jacket</a> a cop who felt threatened, people have taken to the streets to protest.

So I do understand why some people are not here for the challenge, even though it is still a valuable cause. Actor Orlando Jones decided to do a challenge of his own, called the 鈥淏ullet Bucket Challenge.鈥?He wants to raise awareness about 鈥渁 very serious disease.鈥?

Orlando acknowledges the value of the Ice Bucket Challenge and says he鈥檒l donate to the cause. However, he wants to highlight the issue of gun violence and calls out the problem of militarizing police forces. What is happening in Ferguson is racism at <a href=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Crystal>Kate Spade Crystal</a> its worst, and it鈥檚 a human rights issue.

He calls it the Bullet Bucket Challenge but it鈥檚 not really a challenge as much as it鈥檚 a statement. I think it鈥檚 a powerful one too, especially since he鈥檚 a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. Could he have gone further? Yes, but the video does what it needs to, and that is to speak up.

As far too many celebrities and people of influence remain silent about the continued devaluation of Black lives, it鈥檚 a breath of fresh air to see someone speak truth to power. So salute to Orlando Jones. And Jesse Williams. And Talib Kweli. And Lauryn Hill. .

About the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge? Well I鈥檓 not participating in it for my own reasons, and that doesn鈥檛 mean I don鈥檛 think <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Louboutin-Leopard-Boots>Louboutin Leopard Boots</a> it鈥檚 worthwhile. However, like Samantha Irby asks 鈥淲hat can we dump on our heads to save Black people?鈥?I wish I knew, but it鈥檚 not ice.
