Jolie: Iraqi children need help

Jolie: Iraqi children need help



Angelina Jolie has called for the education of Iraqi children to be given more attention and funding.
Speaking during a discussion on their plight at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington on Wednesday, the actress and campaigner said: "It is a fact that the best way to heal children in conflict and their trauma is to focus their minds on their future. This population we're talking about is the future of Iraq.
"So to reach them now, to help deal with their trauma and refocus their minds on a possible future should absolutely be one of our top priorities."
"Every child has a right to education and conflict is not a reason to ignore that. We need these kids to rebuild their country, to stabilize their country and, eventually, to lead their country," she told the audience, which included the commander of the US forces in Iraq, General John Petraeus.

"I need to be black. 'Cause if I was black, I'd be doing good. Completely the black comedians are doing good," Prop up said. "Get-go of altogether, Katt Sir Bernard Williams, him and me — when it comes to the funny-meter — ar probably the saami. But because he's black ... Katt Hank Williams, he's got whole the specials. And 'Oh, Katt Roger Williams is so funny story and he's such a whiz comedian. Oh my God, you gotta see Katt Sir Bernard Williams.' It's 'cause he's shirley Temple. D.L. Hughley, Mo'Nique, Charlie Murphy ..."
Sir Bernard Williams talked about the incident this week piece visiting the MTV News part.
"What you suppose his identify was?" Bernard Arthur Owen Williams asked with a straight face. "Was he a comedian? Oh, he was? Then what happened, he became white? Then that couldn't be the answer to the problem. He was acting."
Williams knows Shore was making a joke. He was in on it. A followup Net short to Shore's racial blah featuring Williams, Vivica A. Fox, Ice-T and White potato has surfaced as well. At first the celebs seem to take exception to the former MTV personality's remarks, only then Prop pops up on camera to say the humanity it's been had.
