Oops, meant DC?
"President Odinga".
'Nuff said.
I found all my information on Face Book, so it has to be true! /s
Actually, I think this is correct. IIRC, it came from one of the better FB sites.
Come to Pittsburgh PA and take advantage of the Pittsburgh Promise program for inner city students who attend the Pittsburgh Public Schools. Guaranteed $10,000 a year college sholarship for four years for students who attended since kindergarten and maintain a 2.5 grade average and 90 percent attendance. $7500 a year if you started later than kindergarten. Supported by business contributions. Suburban students not eligible even tho their parents buy from those businesses. Nobody gave me a free $40,000 scholarship and none of my relatives either, we live outside the boundaries. They gotta pay full price.
I think there are rules about barf alerts for lies of this sort.
I am an Angry American.
Like anybody gives a shit about that.
News bulletin, FRiend: there already IS an irreparable race divide. Because Odinga wants it that way.
It will guarantee his third term.
LOL
I don’t FB :)
It’s a powerful stat to have with a good reference link.
I’m itching to use that graphic elsewhere, but not without statistics backup.
“How old were his parents when he was born?”
At a very minimum, 64.
They care not about the real facts or the rule of law.
Tuff titties to this idiot. Ignorance on display is an ugly thing.
Speaking ebonically.
I am glad he is 84 instead of 24 that gives him less time to spew his bull crap.
If my calculator & I did the zeros correctly, that would be $7,000. Did she want the Federal government to put all $7,000 in one bank, or is the author using the new math that allows him to be born to former slaves?
"The prosecutions case should have been presented on the theory that the wounds displayed by Zimmerman were self-inflicted. Zimmerman inflicted those wounds on himself. Zimmerman knew enough about the law to know he needed such wounds. Such a prosecution theory would have forced the defense to defend against this theory, and it might have caused Zimmerman to testify."
No, but it might have caused a lot of people to laugh at the prosecution team!
"Finally, if Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman when he was shot in the heart, why was there no blood of Martins on Zimmermans clothes? Why was this question not asked at trial?"
Umm...because the hoodie was entered as evidence, and it didn't have any significant blood on it, and Martin was WEARING it! Even the inner shirt Martin was wearing didn't have very much blood on it:

Ancestry has a Joseph DeBro, Jr., born in Mississppi in 1929 and a Joseph DeBro, Sr., born in Mississippi in 1908 or 1909. There is another Joseph DeBro listed in Mississippi who was born circa 1860, so his field hand days were short lived, lol, if they even existed.
Let’s do the math. The Civil War, and thus slavery, ended in 1865. Let’s say his parents were born just before it ended. He is 84, so he was born in 1929.
This means that both of his parents were 64 years old when he was born. So unless he was adopted, or his parents were the slaves of Arabs in Africa, he is lying.
Who said that they were slaves in the United States - a Muslim country perhaps.
If his parents were babies at the time of the civil war and even assuming they were still reproducing at the age of 48, he would have reached 84 in the 70s and would now be over 100. Maybe he meant grandmother. I sat down and figured out that my alleged great great grandmother would have had to have had my great grand father at the age of 58 for the time line to fit. My theory is that his birth mother died during the potato famine and his father remarried an older woman to take care of the four boys.
A number of Confederate vets remarried very late in life to considerably younger women to pass on their meager pensions or to be “proper” if these young ladies were their live in caregivers. Could be this guy’s father did the same and still had a bit of spry in him.

I’m not buying this “son of slaves” malarkey.
If he is 84, he was born in 1929. The emancipaiton proclamation took effect in 1863. In order for him to have been born the son of slaves, his parents would have had to have been born into slavery in 1863 and had him when they were 66 years old. That’s the LATEST this could have happened, and his parents would never have remembered their one day of life as slaves.
“Grandson of slaves” wold have been a bit more believable, but would have also required that the average age of both his parents and grandparents have been 33 when they had children.
I strongly suspect that he is the GREAT grandson of slaves, given that the average age of first childbirth of slaves was 20 years old according to the University of Houston (source: http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/historyonline/slav_fact.cfm). But being three generation removed from slavery doesn’t make for nearly as compelling a diatribe, now does it?
