True Pride! Yay Colts!
The earthquake in Haiti has been devastating not only to Haitians, but the world. This tragedy has not only shook Haiti's native land, but the minds and hearts of those who have a connection with Africans throughout the diaspora. The images displayed on television and on front covers of magazines and newspapers will forever leave an imprint in my mind.
Through the spirits of Haitian people raising praises to God while facing destruction it has taught me the essential lesson of giving back and the true definition of faith & prayer. Wyclef is so amazing and he is the prototype of what black pride is all about and restoring your own community in times of need. I would like to know where is my boy's Nobel Peace Prize? Because Wyclef has been screaming Yele before the earthquake. I believe that respect is due to those who earn it and Wyclef's respect is long overdue because he does good deeds without the pats on the back or "bandwagonist" or screams for Haiti when the people have been screaming for centuries. This not the beginning of Haitians fight to rebuild their country, its just a continuation and a setback from the emancipation and slave revolt in 1804. I say all this because it is going to take more than 2 weeks worth of water, biscuits, and rice to save this country. Its going to take nation building, faith in God, and Prayer... Not media exploitation, pity, and improper utilization of all funds raised to "support Haiti". If it was up to me I would say Wyclef for Prez in Haiti, but all I can do for now is groove to this performance & pray for Haiti... Although, I could only translate parts of french hidden in the church/carnival creole break down I was still gigging in my room like, Ayiti!
"Earthquake we seen the earth shake but the soul of the haitian people it will never break!" Loved it!

Speaking of all things Wyclef, Lauryn Hill is back on the scene she performed at New Zealands Raggamuffin Festival. Seriously, I pray Lauryn Hill finds a dose of sanity, so she can make another classic album because I heart & miss her so. Enjoy!
It was extremely touching to see so many celebrities come out and support Haiti during last weeks telethon.
