Yele!!!

A smile came to my face as I heard the news through cnn that tax experts find little fault in Wyclef Jean and Yele Haiti! As usual my people are bombarded with the attempts of the media and politicians to instill the white savior complex. If Haiti became free because of leader like Toussaint Lu'orveture why can't its native son save its people from the worst natural disaster to hit the island nation in 200 year. Sizzla said it best dem cyant keep a good man down... Yele!!!! Rouge et bleu!

YELE Haiti!!!

As we all know Wyclef is under investigation for poor accounting practices involving his foundation Yele Haiti. I was speaking to highly intelligent individual, and she said if Clef was tight about his foundation this wouldn’t have happened. Everything is cool until the government gets involved in your shit... White folk get uneasy when shit isn’t filed right. Unfortunately a balk man must always be tight so as not to come under fire. How y’all think Barack became president? If his operation wasn't tight he wouldn't have been any where near the white house. After all the investigations republicans did on President Obama, cause you know they just wanted one reason to say he wasn't fit to be president he won the election. President Obama is the tightest brotha on the planet. He turned that white house to the black house. This proves that to make it on a world stage we must be tight at all times. I gave a donation to Yele, and I will give to them again & again. Whether you decide to give to Yele or the Red Cross is not what’s important what matters is that you gave... But as black folk we must be tight at all times...

Mo's Golden Globe... give it back Mo

Its MLK weekend and Monique wins the golden globe setting her up for an Oscar win. The trend of negative black images being awarded continues! Denzel won being a crook, Hale is sexually assaulted in a gross sex scene and Monique just reminds people how abusive we can be. As if I haven't heard enough stories from friends whose hands have been burned for stealing a dollar or beaten with a pot spoon or rope. I think Monique should’ve simply looked for a role in a biography of a plus size actress or singer preferably one from the Harlem Renaissance period. These are the only ways we win Oscars by looking negative or singing... We are dream girls... And I am telling u... Georgia, Georgia. So if I had to pick between a negative mom who thought us nothing (because there was no break through in Precious) or a singer, give me the singer. At least a singer in the movies brings back to life some good oldies that I can later download for my ipod.
