It's truly embarassing to know that it took Mississippi so long to recognize Richard Wright.
And it's equally embarassing to know that Adams County, now that it's politically correct, adopted Wright as one of their own, when he lived in Roxie, Mississippi.
Why aren't schools, aside from the ones in progressive states, educating children who this brilliant "Native Son" of Mississippi was?
Why does it take forever for Mississippi to catch up with the rest of the country and the rest of the world?
Wright's work has been taught in schools around the world for years. It wasn't until I was at university in Seattle, Washington when I first heard of Wright? Now imagine how embarassed I was to learn that I grew up in Wright's backyard.
I think Mississippi fears Wright because, "His most significant contribution, however, was his desire to accurately portray blacks to white readers, thereby destroying the white myth of the patient, humorous, subservient black man."
Mississippi, even in the twentieth first century, is not ready to release their myth of the Black Man. It certainly wasn't going to accept how Wright's work redefined discussions of race relations in the twentieth century.
Catch up, Mississippi! The rest of the country and parts of the world has left you, from an educational perspective, lagging behind in their wake.

I watched the "debate" last night and it appeared McCain still hadn't made up his mind to show up.

These are the original Twelve Steps as defined by Racism Anonymous:
1. We admitted we were powerless over racism—that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons of color we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to racist, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Other twelve-step groups have modified the twelve steps slightly from those of Racism Anonymous to refer to problems other than Racism.
The Promises:
1. If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through.
2. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
3. We will regret the past and learn enough humility to eventually shut the door on it.
4. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.
5. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benifit others.
6. The felling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.
7. We will loose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.
8. Self-seeking will slip away.
9. Our whole attitude and outlook on life will change.
10. Fear of people of color and economic insecurity will leave us.
11. We will intuitively know how to handle situations that used to baffle us.
12. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
“Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us-sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.”

What we are seeing with the required Government bail-outs is the big "S-Word"--Socialism.
When Fanny and Freddie were first instituted, they were government run agencies. But greedy fat fingered corporations wanted in on the potential cash. And when the going was good, these corporations, filled to the top floor with Republican supporters, were touting "minimize Government!"
Now that the pockets of the rich are stuffed and the markets are feeling the effects of all that missing cash, which is stored in the vaults of the Crawford ranch-lol, those same people are looking for the Government (us) to bail them out; creating bigger government and looking more like Socialism.
But who will get the blame for Socialization once he takes office-- "Barrack Hussein Obama."

Chaos is rhythm off beat! Love is rhythm in sync!
For those of you who have rhythm, you know what I am talking about.
People like George Bush...no rhythm! He truly believes in chaos.
“Chaos is the greatest ally…their greatest ally.” George Bush, State of the Union Address, 2007.
However, Gerogie understands those of you who can't keep a rhythm.

The people who smoke crack are the ones who lead us to have this discussion about RESPONSIBILITY, am I right?
Maybe I should have what some of you are smoking so that my mind is as lethargic as the ones who can't follow me...lol!

Let's be mature about finding solutions to the problems that exist in our communities. I believe the responsibility exist in each of us.
So, when we gather as a group, whether it be the NPD, city council members, teachers, commentors in this forum, we have a responsibility to find solutions.

“If money isn’t loosened up, this sucker could go down,” President Bush declared.
Now that this frat-boy retard has opened the discussion, let's talk about how crack effects the brain.
