Bob Geldof dismissed accusations of a "white saviour complex" regarding his charity work, stating the term doesn't exist and he's focused on preventing starvation. Geldof, who organized Live Aid and Band Aid, responded to Bono's memoir comments, asserting his sole interest is saving lives, not political correctness or boosting national images. He previously called similar criticisms "rubbish" and questioned if only Black people could help with an African famine, comparing it to needing to be green to help a green-skinned population.
