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.
I would love one of Wyclef’s supporter here to mention 1 thing they know and can prove Yele has done for Haiti, i’m f*&k’n tired of this, I’m Haitian i work in a commercial with Clef where he was getting paid to promote a Phone company from our country built with drugs money you people need to shut and looks at the Facts cry or not i won’t buying it not stupid enough, He is just like us (Haitian or African) after power in Haiti that why he said on Oprah he wants to in charge……Hey my Friend you don’t have to be in charge to Help….
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.
@CPhillips what are you calling HELP go do some some research before you call somebody ignorant, look closer ignorant… my family still i pretty i have done more then i will continue to do so ignorant, you probably one those celebrity obsess jack Ass..
