The Gantt Report
Whatever you can do to help Haiti, do it! For people like Pat Roberson to talk about curses by the devil is just like Satan talking about Lucifer!
The only devils that have harmed Haiti are the same wicked devils that have colonized, exploited and oppressed Black people worldwide!
But that’s not .what this column is about. The devil aspect is a whole different topic.
Amid all of the current pain and suffering, there will be huge opportunities. The Lord takes away but God also gives. The best thing to come out the unfortunate and untimely earthquake will be new ideas, new futures, new jobs, new homes and new and better lives.
The earthquake did what the people of Haiti could not do. The earthquake devastated a cruel, oftentimes corrupt, incompetent and insensitive political power structure.
God has given the people a chance to rise up from the ashes of the earthquake and build a country that the world can be proud of. The time is over for dictatorships and military coups. The time is out for cronyism and political conspiracy. There is no more time for oppression and exploitation to thrive in one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful countries.
Businesswise, the opportunities for Haitian businessmen and women are endless. Haiti has nothing and needs everything, everything!
Haitians, need water, food, clothes, books, toys, hospitals, streets, bridges, roads, cement, plywood and a host of construction supplies and equipment. Haiti needs everything.
God willing, America’s, Europe’s and Asia’s economic hit men will not sneak into the country posing as aid worker to facilitate a return to the old Haiti. Hopefully, Haitians will rebuild their country mostly on their own and seek to do business with people that look like Haitians look.
One thing Haiti does not need are minute men, people that show up for a minute, long enough to appear on TV or be heard on radio and leave. Haiti needs visitors, vendors and traders that love Black people.
Too many are pretending to care about Haiti, acting like they love Haiti and faking all of the while and seeking a way to prosper off of the sad situation.
If you want to help Haiti, find Haitians to help. All of the newly created web sites and some of the old ones are OK if you’re too lazy to give help through a Haitian you know or goes to your school or lives in your neighborhood. But be careful, I know about devils more than Pat Roberson does.
The devil is tricky! A devil can pretend to be your friend and benefactor when the devil is really your worst enemy.
Everybody can’t send money to Haiti but all of us can send something. I’m trying to collect clothes to send there. If you want to assist with The Gantt report clothes effort for Haiti contact me via my web site at www.allworldconsultants.net.
