The War On Terror,lets try The war On Terrorize! I feel it's my duty or privilege to touch bases on a few things.Why are we fighting this war?Instead we should be fighting The War On Poverty or better yet The War On Equality.I'm a 32 year old black male from N.J. who still feel as though there's alot of trickery and deception going on here in the good old USA.Sure we have peoples in office,but there are alot of buttons still being pushed and pockets greased.Why are we still standing for this?Put a few pennies in some of there pockets and they'll be quiet.That's what the goverment says.But the truth of the matter is they as they I mean White America still knows what they're doing.I think we need to remember where we came from.To many people fought to hard for us to forget.Some has even lost they're lives behind it.Mines maybe endanger itself by righting this.What about my history you stole from me?
Yeah!
Not only did he go backwards in time, but he also side-slipped in geographic position while doing it!
*snicker*
James will be 11 months old on Sunday. It's turned cold the last few days here, and the cat has moved indoors - a real thrill for James.
Beats me, but reading the original post made me feel like I lost a year out of my life.

Not now. It's a done deal. Now I can go to lunch knowing FR is safe once more!
Actually, not only do I actually claim that, I've got a cousin that has traced our Chocktaw lineage back directly to Chief Tuskaloosa about 500 years ago.
LOL!
I want my three minutes back!
When the BAs and the TBirds were both flying F4's in the early 70's I saw both groups. Seeing the F4 put through the paces was awesome. I saw the TBirds in the F16's but I haven't caught the BAs in the FA18.
Make sure the VK's get extra milk---on me!
JUSTWANT2BHEARD,
Can you down below to check on that noise.
Nope. Just one of the few assholes.
Try reading "Out of Africa" by Keith Richburg.
Well, if you want my respect, get off your ars and do something. Other ethnic groups do better than whites in this country, so obviously it's a matter of attitude! If a family of blacks were moving in next door I'd be disappointed, but not because of racism. Not because their skin is black, for sure! That's only skin deep! It's because of my perception that blacks tend to have an attitude that dooms them to pretending that their personal failures are somebody elses fault. (which makes it conveniently easy to accept failure in themselves and their peers) I'd have the same disappointment if a family of practicing alcoholics were moving in as well, because I'd know that the "ODDS ARE" that they won't be as good a neighbor as a family of recovering alcoholics!
Mind you, this is a PERCEPTION, not necessarily a reality, and the perception is not a creation of mine. I'm just the observer. If you have changed the reality then stand up and change my perception. You cannot legislate people to respect you.
Now that family might very well be a fine upstanding member of the community, and once I discovered that, then I would welcome them to be my neighbor and be happy to have them. But they are at an initial disadvantage because they have to overcome the attitude that is instilled in me by people like you! You, as a black, are caught in a terrible catch-22, and only you can get yourself out of it. The first step? Bit** slap Je$$e Jacka$$ and all of your other bogus "Black Leaders" and tell them to join the club of elevating personal responsibility to be the hightest ideal. That's what Asians do.... you do it!
Looks like my nephew. .... ACTS like my nephew.
I don't know my tribe and always assumed it was some rapacious, thieving Vikings, but some evidence has come to light today that I may be of the tribe of Black Irish. Also, sometimes people say to me, 'what got your Irish up?', which is further supporting evidence.
I remember Sara, now 25 and Justin, now 23 when they were that age like it was yesterday. I'm looking to get some grandbabies in the next few years.
Wowzers Argh! THanks for the ppp-p-post.
Maybe we can salvage the stern----ahhhhh, never mind!
