Watching Haitians being interviewed on TV last night gave me new insight to what's happening there. It seems everyone was asking the same question, “When are they coming to help us?” Bodies decaying in the streets others still trapped under the rubble yet the majority of the Haitians are sitting asking, Where are the people with the food, water and money?”
for a translation to what they are really saying;
Give us money, white people. Lots of it. Give it to us because God said so. (Or something) ...besides, you owe us
“No more biscuits, we don’t like them, we want real food”
If you want to help the Haitians, help them rebuild their country, don’t rebuild it for them. If you really want to help them, buy their coffee. Demand it in Starbucks, demand it in Waitrose, slap yourself on the arse and demand it in Asda.
Do not give any money to any fake charities or any governments. They will only spend it on more staff, bonuses for the directors, windmills, uniforms, or other shite. Just buy their coffee. It's actually very good.
