And you better believe that Ghana is going to lay out the carpet and do their thing for this President.

you have to wonder though why with all his brothers and sisters, and especially Rebie who has been a mother and wife whose husband has done well; Michael wouldn't have chosen one of his own family as guardian should something happen to his mother, instead of Diana Ross. I mean, I know he knew things that none of us would know but it seems strange.

yeah that told that on the news. I think they say that Marlon and his family live in the compound and he stocks shelves at the market.

Excuse me, but Jermaine was getting it on with Randy's girl before Randy ever married her. He has no money and the exwife is trying to sue for money from the Arab woman that he is involved with. Jermaine has been something else for a long, long time. I have been waiting to hear music from Tito's boys. They have been a trio for a while and Rebie's son as well. There's got to be some of the kids from that family to continue that music legacy.

Oh I forgot to say- that the records they kept showed how many enslaved people went to various islands. For me it was crucial to witness the number of Africans sent to Puerto Rico and the Canary Islands.

I've been there and at Elmina right across from it. Most POWERFUL experience of my life. The records they kept. The size of the rooms. The door of no return. You can FEEL the pain. It is such an important trip.

FYI this is the site where the indie film Sankofa (from the 90s) was filmed.

Ahh, the “The Party of Lincoln!!!” meme. You know, at first I thought that the people who pushed that were just trying to bullshit people, but now I'm beginning to believe that they really do think black people should vote for Republicans because Lincoln “freed the slaves” and the Southern segregationists of 40+ years ago were Democrats.

They are sexually excited by Malia. I'm not trying to be nasty or disrespectful towards the girl, but all of the sexually charged comments (she's a whore, when's her first abortion, when is she going to start having sex etc) just tells me they are stimulated by this 11 year old girl and they need to release it. That shows how sick they are by projecting their sexual thoughts and fantasies on an 11 year old girl.

Colindres: Obama A “Little Black Man”

The U.S. ambassador to Honduras has objected strongly to the foreign minister for the de facto Honduran government, Enrique Ortez Colindres, calling President Obama a “little black man who knows nothing,” reports the Daily Kos.

Yes and no.

No, if the child is under 18 years old and has nothing to do with the parents' drama. Examples include Chelsea Clinton, Bridget McCain, The Obama Girls, Willow, Trig and Piper Palin.

Maybe, if the child is doing something that directly contradicts the parent politician's positions and value statements. Examples would include Bristol and Track Palin and the Bush Twins. Don't lecture about bad kids doing drugs and having sex when yours are too. Don't lecture about how X class of people need to tighten up and act right when your kids are breaking the law and acting an ass.

Yes, if the child is over 18 and inserting themselves into the situation. Examples include Bristol Palin and Meghan McCain. Bristol can't come and give Greta Van Sustern and People magazine interviews and not expect any comments to be made about her because she's Sarah Palin's daughter. If Bristol or Sarah feels that way, then Bristol needs to stay her ass out of the media. If Meghan McCain goes on chat shows and says something stupid, she should expect to be smacked down, not treated with kid gloves because she's John McCain's daughter.

wonder how the almost ex son in law will affect Sarah's bid for the presidency..I make no mistake her sick ego thinks she can succeed to be the President. Oh geez it hurts your head to think about it.

God forbid, we have to thank a great hero, John McCain, for blistering our country with this sickness...Sarah Palin.

One would think that a guy like McCain would care more about our country than his mealy assed ego. Guess I got that one wrong BIG TIME.

I am totally convinced she quit for money.

Levi says Palin quit for the money, and while he was living with them, she talked about how nice the money would be. If it's true? Heh.
