Organization Scam?

In the wake of the Hurricane in Haiti one of the first people to step out in aid to his country was Wyclef Jean. But many people, even myself situations like this always question whether or not the aid will actually go to the people who need it most. It seems as if the better business bureau wanted to know the same thing.

Below is what the Better Business Bureau had to say about the Organization:

Even as more than $2 million poured into The Wyclef Jean Foundation Inc. via text message after just two days, experts questioned how much of the money would help those in need.

"It's questionable. There's no way to get around that," said Art Taylor, president and chief executive of the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance, based in Arlington, Va.

Taylor reviewed Internal Revenue Service tax returns for the organization also known as Yele Haiti Foundation from 2005 through 2007. He said the first red flag of poor accounting practices was that three years of returns were filed on the same day — Aug. 10 of last year.

In 2007, the foundation's spending exceeded its revenues by $411,000. It brought in just $79,000 that year.

"Here's the bottom line: for an earthquake of catastrophic proportions, do people really believe that this organization is in a position to do anything right now?" he said.


Now for the sake of the people in Haiti I hope and pray that he will do the RIGHT thing and give all the funds to the people, his people of Haiti. BUT people please DO NOT let this be a reason to stop donating. Do let one bad egg spoil it for all. There are still a number of other ways to donate. Please see my post below on information on how to donate .

Born and Raised in Harlem, Russell Brown A.K.A. King Russ always had a passion for music. He began singing at the age of 8 and never stopped from there. At the age of 5 his mom passed away, which left him with only a father. He used the lost of his mother to help create some of the most amazing music he comes up with today. At the age of 12 King Russ not only began performing but also began writing his own songs.He noticed some of his songs were missing another piece of him,and from there he began rapping also. With a passion for Singing,Rapping,and Dancing and dreams to become the Worlds Next Greatest Entertainer, King Russ set to make a name for himself all over. So what better place to start than Harlem! At the age of 15 King Russ was not only making his own beats and writing his own lyrics, but he gathered his own Artist and began a team called Conceited Bastards.They started to hit flyer's and become a group well known to Harlem.

Around two years later due to lack of commitment from others, what was C.B. was no more. King Russ set out for a stronger more supportive group of individuals motivated and just as determined as himself.And along that Road he met Mark Roberts A.K.A. Knocka.Knocka introduced him to his team called Million Dollar Babies. From the jump Knocka and King Russ clicked and were like brothers. Not to long after this,Knocka noticed the skills and potential in King Russ,and not only decided to make him a Million Dollar Baby but decided to make him his artist!Which followed up with a Smashing Hit Single Called Bottle Of Patron,Produced and written by King Russ himself!Bottle Of Patron Was the Start of a new beginning and the opening of a lot of doors.From there on the music just kept gettin better and more entertaining.

Race Riots In 2010?

Visit the most southern part of Italy today and you might feel like you are living back in the 1920's when African American had no rights in this country or anywhere for that matter. Some hundred Blacks have been evacuated from the southern Calabrian town of Rosarno in Italy following the worst Race Riots seen in the country since World War 2.The evacuation started after three days of rioting ignited by the attack on migrant workers in the town. At least 53 people have been injured following the rioting. To prevent further unrest police moved more than a thousand people of African decent from the area. Also those who are citizens of Italy but are of African decent have left the town after various threats and the fear that those attacking will not see the distinction between the migrant workers and those who are legal in the country.

Sadly, this is not the first hint of Racism in Italy. Just last month Abdul William Guibre, who was born in Burkina Faso, raised in Italy was beaten to death last month by the the owners of a local bar. According the the NY Times, the two attackers, Fausto and Daniele Cristofoli, suspected Mr. Guibre, 19, of stealing money and set upon him with a metal rod, the authorities said, it was later determined he had stolen a package of cookies. During the altercation, the attackers shouted “dirty black,” lawyers for both sides said.

Its sad that in 2010 we still have to hear of this type of treatment towards people of any race. I forgot who said it but "Can't we all just get along" ?

Apparently He's Blacker than Obama....

For those of you who don't remember Illinois Ex. Governor Rod Blagojevich, he was the governor who tried to sell Obama's senate seat to the highest bidder and got Caught! lol... Well he is in the news again! This time he sat down with Esquire Magazine for an interview where he was quoted as saying,

"I'm blacker than Barack Obama. I shined shoes. I grew up in a five-room apartment. My father had a little laundromat in a black community not far from where we lived," Blagojevich said.

I didn't know that you had to shine shoes to be black. Guess I'm not black :-( lol

NYC has a new War: War on Salt?

This morning Restaurants around the City woke up to a new burden. Along with having to make sure that everything is heated and cook to the correct temperatures., the department of Health also is urging that the food industry start to crack down on the amount of salt that they use. According to the Daily News, the City Health Department is urging all restaurants to reduce their salt use by 25%. As of right now the plan is voluntary, but we all know that what starts off as voluntary often leads the city to make mandatory.
Normally I would say that the city needs to take a more Lasse Fare approach to handling people food intake, but I have to agree with them on this one. The amount if salt that some restaurants use daily is crazy especially when you think of the number of people, especially African Americans, that suffer from high blood pressure. Ever taste some fries from McDonald's and wonder if they really needed to put that much salt on the fries, I know I have. Although I dont think that the City should force resurants to change its a step in the right direction that the City is noticing that its important that salt intake is a problem.

As of now many of you who have a love for fashion might not be familiar with the name Anu Belle, but give this young talented designer a few years and I guarantee that you all will be begging to have something, anything designed by Anu Belle. I was first introduced to Anu in Miami where she was staying with some mutual friends. And unknown to her after I was looking for someone to make a dress for me for my 25th bday and her name was given to me as an option. However it wasn't until Nov 2009 that I actual was able to get a Anu Belle design. After that I was hooked and the very next month requested another dress.

Innovative, Electric, and bold are a few words used to describe Anu by Anu Belle. She developed a fascination and a love for the fashion world very early. Anu first discovered her love for fashion at a very young age. Anu creates between 2 to 4 collections every year and shows them in various fashion shows all over New York. She is currently interested in working in different aspects of fashion, starting with menswear and accessories. But u can also still expect her my usual women’s collection pieces. So look out world, theres so much more to come from Anu Belle. Stay Tuned...

She is in the works of getting her very own website but in the meantime you can get updates on piece's that she has done at www.callmerebel.blogspot.com

New Years Sad Story

I remember sitting in my parents living room and a friend of mine asking if we can shoot my dad's Gun on New Years Eve and his exact words to us was "What goes up must come down." So seeing this story of this very young boy that was shot while sitting in a church by a stray bullet reminded me of that. Marquel Peters was just four years old when he was hit with a stray bullet that entered the church that he had been attending with family on New Years Eve. SMH Such a sad way for any family to start the new year!

Student Metrocard Going Going Gone

With the economy in shambles and the MTA always ready to increase rates for New York City Subway and Bus users it was only a matter of time that they would look into cutting the free metro card program to the thousands of New York City school children. In a story first released by the Daily News, the MTA who spends $70 million dollars a year on the program are once again looking for a place where they can possibly save more money. According to the Daily News, the savings plan would charge students half-price fares next year and by 2011 they will be required to pay the full fare.

About 550,000 school kids currently get free or discounted bus and subway passes under a program once fully funded. Now with what MTA is proposing that will now leave 555,000 students without a way to get to school. It will also now force the Department of Education to maybe come up with a plan to add more school buses to the already crowded school transportation system. With this plan imagine how many school children, especially those in high school, who will no longer go to school because they have no way to get there. I wonder if they thought of the fact that they charge $89 dollars for a monthly metro card and the average working person has a hard time paying for one. Now imagine a family with three children in schools that are not close to their home, how are those parents supposed to get their children to school.

I personally think that before the MTA makes such a drastic decision as this they need to waive all their options and realize that there are grave consequences that will most likely come with this decision. Sad to say that with the drop out rate currently at 13.5 the MTA can be the cause of the rate increasing by 2011 when the plan is supposed to go into effect. I will end off by saying that it might be the best time for us to get involved, write to you local representative, Mayor, and/or Governor and let them know that you don't want your children to have to suffer for the bad financial planing by others in this state.
