We are going to limit you to 8track tapes of Thriller.

(I know, straight to the bad chair…)

Anyone else notice, how virtually all the Jacksons talk in this whispery voice, Janet, Jermaine, Michael, Katherine….?

Suck it up and move on people. They are just better than everyone else.. . . and there goes the theory.

First our President is more brilliant than ANYONE in the United States (taking away from the theory that blacks can't learn)

Our First Lady is brilliant in her own right, is thoughtful, kind, intelligent,a strong advocate in childcare, healthy lifestyles, eating habits and excercise blah blah blah (taking away from the theory that black women are always angry and on welfare, abuse or neglect their children, and proponents of cooking everything in heavy fatback grease)

Atty Gen Holder is the head of the Department of Justice (taking away from the theory that blacks belong behind bars vs. being the actual key holders)

Dr. Susan Rice is the U.N. Ambassador further dismantling the concept that intelligence in the black community (especially black women) is an anomaly.

Let's skip past those folks,
Until recent years, golf was considered a sport of the rich and famous and blacks were not considered a part of that world. Blacks made good caddies, made good staff for the country clubs but with the exception of George Grant's 1899 patented invention of the golf tee. . . blacks were not considered a to be able to provide any type of valuable contributions to that sport .. .that is until Tiger Woods came along and dismantled that preconceived notion.

Then in recent years and especially the last 18 months the group who were considered to be the “family values” leaders and the folks who were supposed to be the leadership in our country started to show an ugly trend. Infidelity, twisted sexual patterns, no clear ideas for the future, ignorance to financial responsibility, unable to connect with what is going on in the country today, promotion of an unwed, uneducated pregnant teen and was willing to pass it off as acceptable behavior, the propensity to lie even when knowing that it was clear that the statement(s) were lies, downgrading other ethic groups while using tax payers money to leave the country to have sexual acts with (men and women) of those ethnic groups etc, etc. etc. while our President embodies true leadership and the First Family through actions, words and deeds represent daily the true meaning of family values. . .

then we have Michael Jackson who even in death and with all his flaws stopped the MSM cycle on everything to include politics for at minimum 1 full week. Who surpassed coverage of Farah Fawcett and I think two other celebrities passed within the same 24 hour news cycle but I can't even remember their names.

and now we have the Williams sisters who are intelligent, overcame obstacles, who celebrate their bodies. . . . they consistently kick butt all over the tennis court.

This is just a brief recap of how far we have come in this world and just how much blacks have accomplished. The world is evolving and the folks who don't want to keep up should simply . . . deal with it or find a bridge and do what they have to do.

This nothing but hate, Hate, HAAAAAAAAATE!!!!

I'm off to bed. Just watched TVONE's rebroadcast of that MJ 30 years tribute special that came on CBS in 2003.

I'm not going to gt into the whole did he or didn't he have vitilogo (sp?), but i you watch the video of that program, you can see during some performances that he was trying to cover the bottom part of his face. The aea around his between hiw nose and hsi mouth, and around his mouth was obviously discolored, and whatever make-up he was wearing was coming off.

Here are a couple of videos, you should see what I mean:

Hope it's clear.

Anyway, good night ya'll.

Missouri State Representative Cynthia Davis is one tough cookie. Last week she opposed subsidizing school lunches for low income children during summer months saying, “Hunger can be a positive motivator.” This is excellent news considering 1 in 5 Missouri kids is living in hunger, so that state is due for a productivity boon.. ..

What's uncommon is for these sort of details to be published. Now, I ain't sayin' it's customary for it to be half-a-million, but it's not uncommon.

I do agree, however, that this is gonna be something unlike any funeral/ tribute/ service ever seen before.
