"Greedy White Folks" come to Haiti's Aid

You've probably heard the quote from Rev. Wright which Obama liked so much he included it in his book:

“It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere…That’s the world! On which hope sits!”

White folks' greed? Puhleeeese!!!

Haiti is now reeling from a giant earthquake and guess who is rushing to come to their aid? That's right, greedy Americans; "white folks" of every color and creed. The same greedy Americans who zoomed to Indonesia right after the tsunami 5 years ago. Americans aren't only sending aid this very moment, but you can bet Americans across the country are praying for the Haitians throughout this horrific ordeal.

I'm tired of being told by money and power grabbing politicians that Americans are greedy. We're the most generous nation on earth with our money, our assets and our very lives that we've sacrificed so that oppressed peoples could be set free.

Years ago, at the end of the Viet Nam War, Canadian journalist, Gordon Sinclair wrote "A Tribute to the United States."That tribute, though somewhat dated, still holds up. In fact it's more timely now than ever in this post modern era of "trash America first. Watch it right here:



In my opinion the best way we can help the unfortunate people in Haiti is to contact The Salvation Army and ask them how you can help. They were the first to arrive after the tsunami in Indonesia and they have among the lowest operating costs of all the non-profits. Give them a hand and then keep these people in your prayers.
