Default Harley Davidson Donates Motorcycle to The Ludacris Foundation (Ebay Auction)

Harley Davidson recently donated a nice bike autographed by Kanye West, John Legend, Diddy, Common, will.i.am, Bow Wow, Cee-Lo, Shaquille O'Neal, Meagan Good and Andy Samberg of "Saturday Night Live.l" to The Ludacris Foundation for an an Ebay Auction that will have its profits donated to THe Ludacris Foundation.
This is a good example of how some rappers are doing things for the various communities. I think sometimes we don't realize what SOME rap entertainers are doing. What if MORE successful rappers were using their position and importance to do positive things such as this?

What is your opinion on this? Do we need to see more and more and more work like this? Do you think that it will make a difference in the urban and black communities? What would you like to see if you don't think it is enough? Do you care about this in any way? If not, that's coo', just wondering how you feel when you see things like this and do you think that it is beneficial for more rappers to put forth an effort like this? Why are there only "5 comments" for this news story on SOHH, yet sometimes 112 comments on other news tstories dealing with things like, "Cam talks smack back to 50 in video" or "Tony Yayo's Mom's crib shot up."

there's just alot of hypocrisy, everybody's quick to call out what they, the rappers, DON'T DO for the black community, but when they do...they got "more important" things to worry about.

i think it's great for harley davidson to be teaming up with the Ludacris foundation, props to luda for putting his money where his mouth is.

i do think that the whole Oprah situation opened his eyes a bit though. seems like it was all for the best.
