HAITI- PAT ROBERTSON

ROBERTSON: Desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It's cut down the middle. On the one side is Haiti; on the other side is the Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, et cetera. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have and we need to pray for them a great turning to God. And out of this tragedy, I'm optimistic something good may come. But right now, we're helping the suffering people, and the suffering is unimaginable.

HEAL THE WORLD...ONE CHILD AT A TIME

Go and hug your "Michael" by Maya Angelou.

Yesterday I cried watching the Michael Jackson memorial. I cried for a little black boy who felt the world didn't understand him. I cried for a little black boy who spent his adulthood chasing his childhood. And I thought about all the young black boys out there who may feel that the world doesn’t understand them. The ones who feel that the world does not understand their baggy jeans, their swagger, their music, their anger, their struggles, their fears or the chip on their shoulder. I worry that my son, may too, one day feel lonely in a wide, wide world. I cried for young children of all colors who may live their life feeling like a misfit, feeling like no one understands their perspective, or their soul. What a burden to carry. As a mother, I cried for Katherine Jackson because no mother should ever bury a child. Period. And I think about all the pain, tears and sleepless nights that she must have endured seeing her baby boy in inner pain, seeing him struggle with his self- esteem, and his insecurities and to know that he often felt unloved. Even while the world loved him deeply. How does it feel to think that the unconditional love we give as mothers just isn’t enough to make our children feel whole? I wonder if she still suffers thinking, “What more could I have done?” Even Moms of music legends aren’t immune to Mommy guilt, I suppose. When Rev. Al Sharpton (who always delivers one “Awesome” funeral speech), said to Michael’s children “ Your Daddy was not Strange . . . . It was strange what your daddy had to deal with” I thought of all of the strange things of the world that my children would have to deal with. Better yet, the things I hope they won’t ever have to deal with anymore. And as a mother raising a young black boy, I feel recommitted and yet a little confused as to how to make sure my son is sure enough within himself to take on the world. Especially a “strange” one. To love himself enough to know that even when the world doesn’t understand you, tries to force you into it’s mold or treats you unkindly, you are still beautiful, strong, and Black. How do I do that? Today, I’m taking back “childhood” as an inalienable right for every brown little one. In a world that makes children into “booty-Shakin”, mini- adults long before their time, I’m reclaiming the playful, the innocent, run-around outside, childhood as the key ingredient in raising confident adults. Second, I will not rest until my little black boy, My Michael, knows that his broad nose is beautiful, his chocolately brown skin is beautiful, and his thick hair is beautiful. And nothing or no one, can take that away from him. Now, ain’t we Bad, ain’t we Black, and ain’t we Beautiful!

WHEY DEM HAVE FI SAY NOW??

Gay man gouges out lover's eyes






By HG HELPS Editor-at-Large helpsh@jamaicaobserver.com



Wednesday, November 25, 2009



A homosexual man held down his lover and gouged out his eyes in a jealous fit of rage in Calabar Mews, a North St Andrew residential complex Sunday, police have confirmed.



The injured man, aged 24, has been admitted to the University Hospital of the West Indies where he had gone to seek treatment at the Accident and Emergency Unit.



Doctors operated on him and extracted the eyes, which were partially detached at the time.



Medical personnel who saw him on Sunday say that he will not see again, unless there is a major breakthrough in eye surgery in the future.



"The optic nerve was badly damaged and there was no way that doctors could save him," one doctor said on condition of anonymity.



The alleged attacker later turned up at the Half-Way-Tree Police Station and reported that he had acted in self-defence.



"The guy turned up here the same day and made a report that his friend had held onto him and was biting him and just would not let go of him, so he had to attack his eyes to disable him," one policeman at the station told this newspaper.



Up to yesterday he was still in custody.



However, investigators have been told that the alleged attacker was furious that his 'lover', described by police as a prominent Jamaican, did not sleep at his house last Saturday night.



"One policeman close to the case said that he had never seen anything like it.



"It is not a pretty sight. Believe me, I never knew that I would ever see something like this," said the cop.



"The guy who, believe it or not, seemed to be in pretty good spirits despite the loss of his eyes, said that he had been attacked by his lover because he slept out," added the policeman.



The injured man is around five feet, nine inches tall and sports lightly bleached skin.



He was treated at the same hospital for a gunshot wound to his buttocks close to two months ago and created a stir when medical personnel attending to him had to remove a 'G string' underwear off him while treating the wound.



"He nearly brought the house down when the doctors and nurses treating him had to remove a pink 'G string' off him," a source at the hospital said then.



News of the latest incident was kept low-keyed during the day, but interest grew later on when persons heard about the bizarre incident.



A Caribbean visitor who had been at the hospital when the man came in, left puzzled.



"I can't understand how a man could dig out another man's eyes. I couldn't even kill a fowl if my mother ordered me to," he said.



The incident occurred in the same complex that police found the body of Jacob Thompson, former chairman of the Jamaica Rugby Federation, last Friday.



Thompson's body had multiple stab wounds. Police are searching for his attackers.



One of Jamaica's senior doctors, in commenting on the case, said that homosexuals are to blame for much of the violent attacks that they face.



"Homosexuals always want us to get this perception that they are always being hurt and treated harshly by the society as a whole. But is it not they who are often hurting themselves?" asked the doctor.



Violence amongst homosexuals in Jamaica is common and in many cases end in bizarre and brutal deaths which have included multiple stab wounds and chops, even though gay and international human rights groups have tried to paint a picture that these are hate crimes.
