Remember how everyone was so committed to rebuilding Haiti?
Remember how celebrity after celebrity got in front of a television camera vowing to make sure the world "didn't forget about Haiti"?
Where are those people now?
Six months ago the U.S. pledged to send monetary aid to Haiti. Six months later, Haiti is still waiting. I can't understand why is it that this country, REGARDLESS of who is in the White House, always seem to get aid to other countries in time of need. Always seem to come to the defense of other countries when they're being threatened. Always seem to "rescue" them from a "tyrant". But this same country can't show the same type of humanity when it comes to people of color.If Haitians try to come to this country for political asylum, they're turned away. If a country in Africa is being ruled by a murderer who drains his country resources for personal gain, this country turns a blind eye.I can go on and on with this one.
Why is it that nobody is screaming at the top of their lungs about the rape and murder of 100 women a day in Congo.
Why is that!?
There is so much more I can say but I'm tired and really don't feel like going where I was about to go.
Let's just make sure we continue to pray for the people in Haiti.
