Jay Smooth: On Haiti

Our most credible hip-hop reporter, Jay Smooth, comments on the devastation in and reaction to Haiti. Its really a horrible event. Personally, I feel if I can vote and donate to Obama who is asking for more $ for the war, I can put my effort and money to people of Haiti. I think there is also a resonating guilt that I didn’t do enough when the levees broke in New Orleans which provokes me to give. These natural disasters are worsened when poor countries or areas don’t have the physical or governmental structure to withstand a disaster like this. So those of us with resources should give. I gave some money to Wyclef’s organization but now I am hearing that might not have been the best organization to give it to.
