This election has been interesting and in a few days it will be over. This race is tightening and we will have a new President soon.

I have been listening to Fox News in one ear and another morning show on 94.5 in another and Both views had me sitting on the fence concerning the Election. One side shows me the radical and untrustworthy views of Obama and the other side shows me the beauty of having change in the White House. This is History. Everyone knows that.  Barack Obama has done what Jesse Jackson couldnt.

But the  Sunday before last i went to church and my pastor made a statement and he said that To vote for someone because of their skin color and to NOT vote for someone because of their skin color is racist.  It seemed that he was looking at me when he said that and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Just last night i had a conversation with a fellow blogger and he made me realize some things.

Even though my children are bi-racial i want them to be proud of their Black heritage BUT i dont want them to vote for someone simply because he is black and on the contrary, I want them to be proud of their White heritage as well but I dont want them to vote for a person because they are White either.  It starts with me! You have vote on morals and values and vote on who is right for the future NOT who is right for RIGHT NOW!!

I have made my decision and i am proud of my decision. Hopefully this candidate will come through and back up what he is proposing. but you have to look at record and when you do chose the person who is more truthful and the one who is more than likely to follow up on his promises!!

Quick Post guys!

I know that this is a touchy topic but

If Illegals have kids in the US and the parents are being sent back to their native country, What happens to the children?  They are however US citizens. Do you think that its fair to punish the children who didnt do anything illegal AT ALL? Can the children save their parents?

FINALLY, The customer has won!!!

A California Judge has just ruled that its ILLEGAL for cell phone companies to charge early termination fees!  On top of that Sprint has been ordered to pay customers over  18 million dollars in reimbursement. Now you know that there will be an appeal but finally someone said something about how the cell phone companies get over on us consumers. But only in California for now. But i have heard before that if it started in California then the rest of the country usually follows suit. Lets just hope.

This is a Black History FACT in July!! Where does the expression "the real McCoy" come from?

Everyone has used it but I wonder if people ever wondered where did that expression come from.


 Elijah McCoy, a Black Canadian engineer born in 1844,  invented the self-regulating lubricator, which revolutionized the industrial machine and railroad industry. Because his product was so reliable and many inferior products were produced, buyers of the lubricator would ask, "Is this the real McCoy?"

Thus the phrase that is used around the world was born.  The Real McCoy!

I am so sick of these so called "Black" people, i.e Jesse Jackson, Sherri Shephard and most of the rappers and comedians who are just insisting on using the N word and when any other ethnic group uses it, they get angry.  WHAT HYPOCRISY!!!  This upsets me to the core!!
How can you use the N word after so many of OUR ancestors died and fought against being called that word. How degrading can you be to your own kind? And then Jesse Jackson tells everyone to NOT use it and he turns around and uses it himself! How can we trust a civil rights leader who cant even practice what he preaches?  Thats like telling your kids not to curse but yet you as a parent uses curse words around them! Sherri Shephard from the View says that its a term of endearment.  How much do you love your black brother or sister if you are going to call them a name that was used to degrade black people over the years. The N word means ignorant. SO therefore all the people who uses the word are ignorant as well.  I can just imagine the KKK and the other racial groups sitting back and laughing saying well our work is done!
We dont have to degrade them anymore. They are doing the work for us.

What a SHAME!!

This is a sad day indeed for me.

First of all, Tim Russert died of an apparent heart attack this afternoon. I really liked this guy. To me he was fair and he was a great moderator.  This news came as a shock. 58 years of age is too young to die. But like the saying goes: The good die young!!! God bless him and his family.

Secondly, R. Kelly got acquitted on ALL charges.  Now this is ridiculous!!  It shows that if you are rich in America you can get away with anything.  R.Kelly is about as guilty as O.J. First it was OJ then Robert Blake then Michael Jackson. Come on judges. GET with the program!  Just because you have money dont mean that you are above the law. Michael Vick found that out didnt he?

Ridiculous!

A copy of a paper that I had to write today in class. But this is so true. it took me 15 minutes to write this. Tell me what you think.  I am sure if you are a parent, you can relate.

Let’s  look around. Look how a child lives their life. If adults act as children do, this word would be so much better.

 

How you ever seen children greet one another? No hatred or bigotry. They don’t see color. They don’t have an agenda. They just see a little person just like them who is willing to play.

 

Children don’t worry. They are innocent. Their innocence shines when they forgive and REALLY MEAN it. There is NO grudge in a child's heart. They want to make you laugh and because of their innocence a person cannot stay angry at them for too long.

 

            What about if a child runs this country? There will be no more greed in the political arena and television will be much safer to watch with NO vulgarity, senseless violence and inappropriate sexual themes. The word "politically correct" is NOT in a child's vocabulary. IF allowed, they will speak up more than adults would. Honesty is at the forefront in a child's vocabulary. The only reason why children lie is because adults teach them how. Children LOVE to share and sharing with others shows their unselfishness. Watch how a child uses his/her imagination. Watch how their little brain goes to work. It’s important. As we gotten older, adults lose their imagination making life therefore boring and stagnant.

 

            Live life like as if you are a child. Take notes from a child. IF anyone accepts their fellow neighbor with a child's heart, then I believe this world will be so much better.
