Of course with the recent Oscar win for Streep and loss for Davis "some people" are of course talking a lot and saying nothing! I have read many comments on face book and various other blogs and a lot of the comments are ignorant, some are funny, some are just plain stupid! People are complaining about $10K not being enough (Uh, hello... she did NOT HAVE TO donate ANYTHING!), some are still complaining about Viola not winning (OK, get over it), some are saying that Streep is trying to atone for the sin of winning over Davis (Hmmm, people voted for her to win, sooooo how is winning her sin?), some are saying that Blacks are settling for Master's crumbs yet again (Master's crumbs -aka - Streep's $10,000), But I did see a few commentors who said it was a very nice gesture.
My comment is that, giving $10,000 to a struggling school was very nice and philanthropic of Meryl Streep. However I will also say that like Kunta Kente, Black folks tend to shoot themselves in the foot over a dumb self-serving principle, which only makes it harder for them to move forward and slows their progress...
Be Blessed All!

4 People Saying Something!
They better leave Meryl Streep alone!!! I'm sure she did it because Davis is a friend, and not out of guilt. I would take $10,000 any day. Some people just need to complain.
Ms G, I agree!
This was well stated, the shooting in the foot and all. Your people better wake up before they get left behind with the people they HATE so much.
LOL! MY People???
