The Black Informant | African American Commentary, News and Community Building

The bad news regarding the Tsunami keeps coming in. I just cannot bring myself to write about anything else today. 60,000 lives lost is not just another issue. This makes me wonder why most black media has treated this as an afterthought. BET finds itself bypassing the real news of this situation and gravitating towards the “America is stingy” remark made by someone in the U.N. I have had it with this anti-American crap from our black media. REPORT THE NEWS, OR GO SELL SOME FREGGIN’ SNO CONES!

I did a little homework at www.reliefweb.int. Here are the facts per the U.N.’s own records:

% of Global Funding Donor Value US$

22.84% United States 989,156,831.00

15.73% ECHO (European Commission) 681,334,092.00

6.54% United Kingdom 283,093,584.00

4.17% Germany 180,428,799.00

3.07% Canada 132,875,323.00
