not by me but by organisers of the next live aid which will take place in London because many have refused their names being associated by this event and one of the MPH organiser said that its much easier to get Irish American artist than getting an African American,I was disgusted by his coments but I dont believe all high profile artists are the same

After all most of AA have migrated to Africa (EVIDENCE :READ THIS MONTHS ebony magazine) and you will see Jackie Robinson's son is beating multinationals in Tanzania by his coffee business

maybe I am wrong but its true most of these Campaigns you barely see BLACK PEOPLE in them so surely something is wrong

the programme was in the worning but if you log on their website you can listen to it again

Same thing happened back in 85.They eventually threw in Billy Ocean, Run DMC and a few others.

I think Destiny's Child, Nelly and some others will magically be added to the bill after a" failure to communicate" is floated out there.

I for one think this is some bullcrap to be honest.typical white man doing something for the Black man without his participation or input.

Burning,

from what I understand the so called FAMOUS BLACK ARTISTS are hard top get on board as they demand alot of money and always looking on how they would exploit the event to their own good iow THEY ARE GREEDY

so why bother? I mean I dont believe there is a conspiracy but dont you think there might be some truth in it?

I know you dont read it but go and read the latest EBONY MAGAZINE(the one with don Cheadle) ..there is an article about Jackie Robinson's son then tell me what you think of him
