Haiti

By now, just about everyone knows about the devastation in Haiti in the aftermath of that horrendous earthquake. How can anyone not feel anything but compassion for these people and not be stirred to help in some way? Anyone indeed, unless your thinking prompts you to say something like the people of Haiti deserved this because their forefathers made a pact with the devil years ago or that the President of this country is going to use this to increase his standing with the black community.
Really?
It saddens me to see that there are people in this country who will use their position on the airwaves to spout this drivel; who will attempt to exploit this situation to further their own agenda.
Talk about devilish behavior.
My friend's Grandmother told her that "when people show you who and what they are, believe them." These people have definitely shown us what they are and I hope this country believes them and turns their back on them.
The people of Haiti deserve our compassion, our help, and our prayers. Show the world what we are.
