Hi everybody and specially Kanye,I have an important message to post here.
A french young girl(6 years old),called Lizea,is seriouly affected by a grave and uncommon cancer(chordome) and the treatment(protontherapy) is only possible in Boston,MA.The cost of the treatment is very high .There is only one solution in order to the young girl be cured:get enough money and go to Boston to follow the treatment.I'm really touched by this story,it's a true story,she lived in Marseilles(South of France) and she and her parents waiting for help.

YE,
I assume you haven’t heard of this because it definitely deserves a response from you and the others mentioned. Yesterday (July 17, 2008) on “Verdict” with Dan Abrams, he and two guests (black men) were discussing the intense debate that occurred on “The View” over the use of the “N” word. The first panelist stated that he agreed with Whoopi Goldberg’s stance on the subject. However, the second panelist had a slightly different point of view. While Whoopi believes it is unacceptable for anyone outside of the black community to say it, the second panelist stated that he believed no one should utter the word. He continued by saying that certain rappers say the word from time to time and he understands that its entertainment, but if you are a leader or in a position of leadership you shouldn’t and wouldn’t say it. I would like to know your opinion on using the “N” word but moreover, what is your reaction to statements like these that reduce you and other artist

Mcbush will NEVER win not unless they steal the election again. Mccain is nothing more then a cock rider and undercover homo for the WAR CRIMINALS IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION. F**k NO WE WON'T ACCEPT THIS SHIT THIS TIME. PREPARE FOR WAR IF HALLIBURTON OR ANY OF THEM CORPORATE MOTHERFUCKERS TRY TO STEAL THE ELECTION. IN other news Obama has a lot of work to do and I hope he isn't falling into the clinton web.
LoveBomb | July 18, 2008
I've been an Obama supporter since '04, so its crazy for me to see where he is right now!! He needs all the support he can get, especially with these savages coming at him and his family! Thanks 'Ye for posting this, I had no idea who did the poster! Continue on posting that knowledge and FUCK THAT IMPOSER,lol...Only Mr. West would do something like this!
