These guys have nothing on me. Poverty teaches you all you need to know about life. The stupid ones don’t learn those lessons. It was a bit of a grind but all my siblings learned what they needed to learn. I won’t put up with “you don’t know how tough it is” nonsense. I DO know and I worked through it with hard work and stubbornness. The Who said it best: “I was a born with a plastic spoon in my mouth...”

You're right about this freedumb - liberals aren't doing blacks any favors by teaching them the antics of non-stop pity parties. Might 'feel' good in the short run - but in the long run it defines a person as a loser. Hats off to you and your siblings - you have the spirit that made this country great.

That is one of the kindest things ever said to me on FR. I believe all of us here at FR share these values and we all work hard to make our country go. It is sad that we have to work AGAINST those who will not put in the effort (liberals, democrats etc).

I have a family reunion coming up in a few months. I will happily share your kind words with all my sibs. It was our Mom (God rest her soul) who gave us the work ethic. She deserves any and all credit. The best I can do carry on her work ethic — Lord knows I am trying. :)
