My 4yr old’s PSA for his campaign 2 raise money 4 Japan http://twitvid.com/KMK1M he’s asking 4 EVERYONE 2 help him
I wanna buy a shirt, but most of my shoes are purple. Got a pair of black nd grey coach sneakers. Hmmm?
Solange Knowles should be nominated for BCK’s Mother Of The Year for teaching her son to how important it is to give and also by doing so publicly spearheading an effort to donate to Japan’s victims.
Human suffering is human suffering – PERIOD!
Hurricane Katrina victims did not corner the market on human suffering. I would expect that someone who has experience personal devastation would show more compassion to other people – despite the fact that they don’t look like you.
I know you been through alot but seriously?We should help our fellow man. Smh

We’ll never KNOW when it’s going to be our time to ask for help.
I’m in agreement with all the POSITIVE comments. If we forget about our problems for a moment and concentrate our energy on giving and helping others, we’ll be better for it. We’ll never when it’s going to be our time to ask for help.
EITHER SUPPORT THE CAUSE;OR SHUT-UP..KEEP YOUR DOGMA AND POLITICAL VIEWS TO YOUR SELF..THANKS!
ThroughMyEyes
Let me start off by saying I’m very sorry for your loss, I can’t even imagine losing my mother. There were t-shirts for Hurricane Katrina victims, where the money went, I’m not exactly sure. If you want to blame the President/government for their actions or lack thereof during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, then do that. To not at the least, support other humans from other countries after natural disasters because you don’t live there, I feel is wrong.
There were well over 25 countries that supported the US in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and that includes Japan. One man alone, donated a million dollars, private and corporate donations were over 13 million, the government donated over a million in monies and supplies. Kuwait gave $25 million, Australia donated $7.5 million and the list goes on and on.
There were countries that gave clothing, food, medical supplies, doctors, nurses, tents, planes etc…. that I’m sure have plenty of poor, hungry, and homeless people who were also mad that their President/government helped the US out and not them too. Yes America should DEFINITELY help out their own but there were multiple countries that donated millions and millions of dollars to the US for Hurricane Katrina & 9-11, so if they are in need then the right thing to do is help!!!! I feel there should be no questions about America helping countries that have helped us but the real question should be, “What was the money from other countries donated for the Hurricane Katrina victims/rebuilding of the towns destroyed by it, spent on?”
I think that’s the question many have asked: Where did all the money go?
Little Smokey Robinson, haha.
Great efforts Julez!
I love his blue shoes…are they Ralph Lauren?
Maybe we learned from Katrina how to do better for people suffering from disaster. If we didn’t learn we wouldmhave not helped Haiti or Japan. I am sorry for your loss and I can offer no excuse only hope that we will continue to do better.
Sure yall say and feel this way bc you guys probably never been hurt by this country. To see your President fly over you and do NOTHING for you or your family/friends, is very painful and would definitley change your point of view about this country. I hope you never have to go through what my brother & I had to. We watched our OWN country call us “theifs”, “refugees” and get no help for days including no food for days would hurt you too. But its cool bc I now know what my own country thinks of me and ppl like me.
Additionally, I never said that it was a bad thing that Juelz & Solange is doing. In fact, it is a great idea. I just said that I won’t be buying a t-shirt nor supporting it.
I’m done, yall win..I just hope yall never go through what we went through. It will change your perspective on your own country for sure.
Three words: Get Over It.
Everyone dropped the ball during Katrina, but don’t act like people weren’t helped. My city took in thousands of Katrina victims and housed them. They also gave them vouchers for apartments, causing the actual citizens wait even longer on the waiting list. How do I know this? Because I worked for the housing authority who gave out the vouchers. Some of the victims trashed the stadiums and the schools, and acted totally entitled and ungrateful for what they did get.
I think that’s the point she was trying to make: the victims of Katrina were not treated as fellow Americans sho lost their homes and livelihoods to a natural disaster but as refugees, people who could be easily transported to new ‘homelands.’ New Oreleans was their home. They had suffered enough without having to also get use to a new city, state, culture, climate, etc. When that town was leveled (in Arkansas?) a few years ago, those people weren’t labeled refugees and sent to the far corners of this country to start a ‘new life.’ They were placed in temporary housing in their own state, I understand, and their town has since been nearly rebuilt. I understand where she is coming from even though I haven’t experienced anything close to an epic disaster like Katrina. She is talking about injustice. I help my own fellow Americans (first) but I also do not ignore the suffering of those abroad.
Personally, I’ve sent money to help the Japanese who have suffered from the earthquake, tsunami, and Dai-ichi Nuclear Plant disaster because I *know* I could be in the same boat. I live in earthquake and tsunami territory…and we also have a nuclear plant not too far way.
I feel that I am obligated to help the Japanese because I would want their help and compassion, too, *when* the same thing happens here. 
Ooops. Typos. ‘who’ and ‘Orleans’
Daniel looks a lot like his mother.
i really dont know much about hurricane katrina beacuse im african british but saying get over it must be really hurting for “ThroughMyEyes” its like saying get over it to the victims of haiti and japan, losing your mother is something that you never get over especially losing your mother to something like a hurricane, i dont know anything about it but i cam imagine her pain
Totally agree! Telling someone to ‘get over it’ is very insensitive, especially when it is about a tragedy.
@GOI NOT FAIR AT ALL TO SAY EVERYBODY HELPED IF SO IT WOULDNT HAVE BEEN SO MANY AFRICAN AMERICANS DIED BODIES LEFT TO ROTT THE FREAKING GOV. COULD OF DONE WAY MORE THAN THEY DID TO PROTECT THE KATRINA VICIMS. ITS A FLAT OUT LIE TO SAY THAT.
Please tell me where I said “everybody helped”. I said that many victims were helped (which they were). As far as my “Get over it” comment, I meant that this person should get over the fact that she didn’t receive help and stop chastising others for wanting to help Japan. If you have that much hatred put it to good use and find something positive to do. Your problem should be with Baby Bush (George W.) and your mayor at the time who sent help away.
I think what Solange & Julez are doing is fantastic & she’s teaching her son to give to others who are either less fortunate or have lost everything. That is ALWAYS a great lesson to teach to any child, no matter the cause.
And to those bashing Japan, the Japanese have been one of our most loyal allies & friends for the past seven decades & they have also been a very giving people to the numerous diseasters that have occurred in recent years. And although it’s a sidenote to the humanitarian crisis that is occurring there, our own economy depends very heavily on the Japanese economy, so of course it is very helpful to America as a whole that Japan recovers from this catastrophe. We live in the era of massive globalization, and if a country like Japan gets crippled, you can bet that it’s going to affect the U.S. in a very painful way, especially in regards to innovative technology & nuclear energy. Just take a look in your homes, most electronics & gadgets come from Japan. Just look at how chaos in the Middle East is affecting the world economy. Unfortunately, pursuing any form of strong isolationist or protectionist policies does not work anymore due to the massive inter-connectedness of the world, it only further cripples our own economy.
One country (especially a prosperous, influential) hurts, we ALL hurt. That’s just the way it is now & will only continue to be like that in the future.
But aside from that, the Japanese are human beings. Just because they’re rich does not make the devastated people of Japan any less worthy of our help. Especially considering they’re our staunchest ally & longtime friend.
I will donate to Japan because I feel pain for my fellow human beings. When something bad happens to your friend, you stand by their side & help them recover from the tragedy. Bravo Solange & Julez!
Well said and I agree 100%
Additionally, people like you I am sure weren’t called “refugees” nor ever went without food for DAYS! I know about Japan and trust me MOST of them wouldn’t want half of yall around them. Just keep believing what yall are reading in books and thinking this is a perfect world/country you were born in. But when you experience a Katrina for yourself, you will learn otherwise…
First of all, you have no idea what any other person on this board has been through, for all you know I could be a refugee or immigrant from the Congo, Somalia, Thailand, Russia, Bosnia, or some other country that has seen terrible horrors that almost any U.S.-born citizen can’t even imagine. I am not any of those, but three of my adopted cousins are & you never know who you are speaking to & what they have been through or experienced.
I feel for you as I do for my cousins & the pain & horrors they experienced before adoption, I really do, but many other Americans have experienced terrible times as well, just not in something as visible as Katrina. We overlook terrible domestic violence & abuse on a daily basis in this country just because “we don’t want to get involved.” I will admit, my own immediate family & I experienced just that, but bitterness & dwelling on the past doesn’t help a person move forward.
And I know numerous Japanese people at college & they’re some of the most giving & nicest people I know. Yes, they’re a very ethnically-homogenous society who aren’t used to those who don’t look or speak like them, but they’ve been pretty darn giving these last few years as well.
I agree with you 1000% So true. People in America have experienced hardship too. Every country has its battles and if Solange and Julez want to support Japan, I applaud them. Its a beautiful thing to show love and encourage others!
This is a great way to teach a kid about giving back. Excellent parenting, Solange!
Wow….This kid looks just like his grandmother.
He is a cute kid. He is sort of a earthy type of cool kid. Great cause and all but no thanks! I wil not be supporting a country that tried to bomb us on 3 seperate occassions. I will not be buying a t-shirt. There were no t-shirts for the Katrina victims or anything else in America. Just imagine if we did this in America. We would have money for our low funded schools and poor/homeless people. I am only supporting stuff for the country I live in, America. With that being said, I wish Japan the best of luck with everything over there.
You do know we dropped 2 atomic bombs on them. Some Japanese citizens are still suffering from the radiation today.
But I do agree that we should focus on America’s poor also. I have an idea for a shirt “Save Medicaid from the GOPigs” or “Save Florida from Voldemort”. I should get to work right now.
I really don’t care. My focus is on America only. I suffered through Katrina, lost my mother,2 relatives and watched this country do very little for us! So you talking your trash (and stated your so called funny incentive remarks to me) won’t change my views bc you and probably no one else in this board, lived through what I did as a teenager of Katrina!
“insensitive”.
I’m also curious about how many Japanese kids were encouraged to do something for the Katrina victims. I can’t recall any, can you? Hold your head up, girl, and keep going.
@Jessica aka Troll, I hope you never lose your job, end up in a hurricane such as Katrina or experience anything bad in your trollish life to ever need “medicaid” or help from anyone. To poke fun of the poor or ppl who have fallen on hard times in the U.S and need Medcaid or any type of assistance just isn’t cool. I have watched this country help so many outsiders but when it comes to helping ppl in our OWN country, ppl like you look down on them.
Just so you know, after losing my mom in Katrina, I had to re-located to a State I knew nothing about and live with poor relatives that took care of me & my brother. I went on graduate from high school and college. I am working on a MBA right now. Stop making fun of poor ppl in America bc they can go on to accomplish many things in life you digusting SLOB!
@ throughmyeyes im sorry to here about your lose. I feel you shouldnt wish harm on Troll oops I mean Jessica god will fix those who turned their backs on Katrina (meanning the govornment). Its messed up to make jokes of something so painful in our history Black American History.
i agree, sad for their situation and it is a great thing she is teaching her son compassion for others although he lives a privileged life but we have such a bad situation here in America and not helping ourselves through our own crisis. I live in Florida and in my county they are really talking about taking music, art and sports from public school education. My child is in private school but it sucks because I come from the streets and I know for a fact that these very same programs are keeping young ladies from getting pregnant, males from prison and drugs and alcohol alike. So again on the lesson that she is teaching her son but we also have issues in our own country that we need to address before they (Japan) be selling t-shirts for us and our freedom
I do agree that charity begins at home. We really should help our fellow Americans, especially the victims of Katrina (like yourself) who have been treated horribly. At the same token, we shouldn’t ignore the suffering of other people either, whether it be in Japan, Haiti, or elsewhere. But, and I will emphasize, charity begins at home. Those Americans who have suffered from natural disasters and tragedies such as Katrina should be helped before those any other country. That is my biggest problem with Congress and the President. They rush to the aid of rebel Libyans while creating policy (in the guise of reducing the deficit) that will only hurt the majority of Americans, which is immoral IMO. But I’ll stop there.
Japan was responsible for Pearl Harbor; the USA was responsible for the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the fire-bombing of Tokyo. America rebuilt that country afterwards. Why this country is incapable of rebuilding a better and safer (from hurricanes) New Orleans (in a reasonable time frame) is beyond me.
I don’t see Americans I see people who happen to be American. These are people who happen to be Japanese and they need help. They’re people first. Don’t be ignorant and forget that. If you valued all human life and view point wasn’t so narrow than maybe you wouldn’t have written what you did.
