I was watching the show today when Wyclef said he need people to help organize the distribution of the food and medical supplies delivered in Haiti. My family and I would be more than happy to assist him with this. We can’t afford to get over there on our own, but with the help of him or anyone else we will lend our hearts and hands and help out in any way we can.

Its funny how a white man isnt questioned about wanting to be in charge but soon as a black man talks about being in charge everyone tries to find something to bring him down. Better yet when a black man is getting results! What are you doing to help? All your negativity isnt helping is it? Sick of stupid ignorant people bashing someone cause they are angry.
