I was a straight A student and always bored in school and could not understand why the other students didn't "get it". I was always running errands and really didn't have to do anything because I was always years ahead of my class. So in the 7th grade my mom pulled me out of public school and put me in Catholic school. What a difference, it was like day and night. The things they were learning was like Greek. I had no idea what the nuns were talking about. They were learning trigonometry, calculus and I had never ever heard of it. Their writing was so much more advanced than mine, their knowledge of world history and geography was amazing, I was really in total shock. They were even learning Latin in the 7th grade.

I could not say the school was racist because there were black kids in the class and they were getting Straight A's but, my grades dropped down to C's and I could barely keep up. I couldn't understand, how the heck, I was getting straight A's and on the honor roll in the public school and now I don't understand anything. I cried a lot, I was really hurt and did not want to go to that school anymore because a mere transfer changed my life, I had went from being the smartest kid in the class to the dumbest. .

At first I was embarrassed and ashamed. I was so ashamed I became withdrawn. My mom spoke to the Nuns and they gave me individual counseling to help me. But, I still didn't get it, and I couldn't catch up. Then I became angry because, I realized that I was cheated, I was cheated out of so much knowledge that I could never make up for.

When I saw the Black children who were going to this school they were equally good and ALL of these kids were not only interested, but excited about learning. Whereas I used to be the one answering all the questions, I couldn't answer any. It was REALLY hard, because I never got the foundation they had received. That is when I realized that something was terribly wrong with America. I was child that loved to learn, I wanted to learn with all my heart, I had a thirst for knowledge, yet, I was cheated. I believe the miss - education of black America is deliberate. The system was racist. There is no doubt in my mind that it is meant to be.

The thing is, I did not know I was being cheated until I went to a different school. Similarly today, the grocery stores in black neighborhoods lack the fresh variety of healthy foods that one can find in the white neighborhoods. But then - those who have never seen the other side,. do not know they are being cheated and treated unfairly. And so the beat goes on, in every aspect of American life, to the point that we are wasting our own talent, and having to import people for their skills, from other nations because we have failed to properly educate our own.

My mom tried to compensate by getting me all kinds of books. When I went to college, I still felt I missed something. When I see my nieces getting A's and B's and their parents are so excited. Then I look at the material they are learning, and still, even in high school, their writing skills and reading skills are week, I know two things. 1) Nothing has changed. 2) Kids will learn what they are taught.

Help me????

I was going to write a Blog on the “Acts of Desperation by” Billary Rotten Clinton, but I decided to just do a search, certainly others are feeling a little confused too, so I did and I read this comment that was a little scary, does anybody know what this person meant about what happens to people who Cross The Clintons. Is this true? OMG.

I was just wondering, has she sold her soul to the Devil, to the point of being so desperate almost to the point of an I MUST WIN, no matter what attitude? Is this $15,000,000 that has no logical explanation? Who are the Clintons in bed with? What’s really up?

Was something promised for this $15,000,000

Finally, do you really believe the super rich can truly represent the masses?

WOW, I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES WHEN I READ THIS BILL to prevent fat people for eating out in certian restaurants. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaag, I guess they are gonna have someone to measure folk. Step this way sir, let me see hhhhhmm. Well, sorry sir, according to my tape your A$$S is to fat therefore your money is no good here. Get out....

Mississippi Lawmakers have proposed legislation that forbids restaurants and food establishments from serving food to anyone who is obese (as defined by the State). Under this bill, food establishments are to be monitored for compliance under the State Department of Health and violators will have their business permits revoked.

It seems that house Bill 282 was introduced in the 2008 Mississippi legislative session on Friday by Representative W.T. Mayhall, Jr. and co-authors Bobby Shows, John Read, to keep fat people from eating out. Check it out.

HOUSE BILL NO. 282

An act to prohibit certain food establishments from serving food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the state department of health; to direct the department to prepare written materials that describe and explain the criteria for determining whether a person is obese and to provide those materials to the food establishments; to direct the department to monitor the food establishments for compliance with the provisions of this act; and for related purposes. Be it enacted by the legislature of the state of Mississippi:

SECTION 1.

(1) The provisions of this section shall apply to any food establishment that is required to obtain a permit from the State Department of Health under Section 41-3-15(4)(f), that operates primarily in an enclosed facility and that has five (5) or more seats for customers.

(2) Any food establishment to which this section applies shall not be allowed to serve food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the State Department of Health after consultation with the Mississippi Council on Obesity Prevention and Management established under Section 41-101-1 or its successor. The State Department of Health shall prepare written materials that describe and explain the criteria for determining whether a person is obese, and shall provide those materials to all food establishments to which this section applies. A food establishment shall be entitled to rely on the criteria for obesity in those written materials when determining whether or not it is allowed to serve food to any person.

(3) The State Department of Health shall monitor the food establishments to which this section applies for compliance with the provisions of this section, and may revoke the permit of any food establishment that repeatedly violates the provisions of this section.

SECTION 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after July 1, 2008.

OMG, I TOTALLY CANNOT BELIEVE THIS, YOUR VIEWS ARE WELCOME.

Just want to take a moment to greet the community here at Taking it Global. Because of my schedule, I will not be able to complete my profile right away, but over the next few weeks, I will get it completed as I get familiar with this community and hopefully, make lots of new friends.

I have joined this community because I think it is very important that Americans connect with people outside of our country and learn and understand different cultures. We are so isolated by the media, its so hard for us to know what is real and what is unreal. Our lives are intertwined more than we know therefore, reaching out to each other is a wonderful way to make the world a beautiful place to live.

I really look forward to making friends worldwide.

(:Smiles & Smooches:)

Önska precis att ta ett ögonblick för att hälsa gemenskapen här på att ta det som är globalt. På grund av mitt schema ska jag inte avslutar mitt profilerar rätt - bort, men över de nästa få veckorna, ska jag får den avslutad, som jag får förtrogen med denna gemenskap och hopefully, gör raddor nya vänner.

Jag har sammanfogat denna gemenskap, därför att I-funderare det är mycket viktig att amerikaner förbinder med folk förutom vårt land och lärer och förstår olika kulturer. Vi är så isolerat av massmedia, dess så hårt för att oss ska veta vad är verklig och vad är overklig. Våra liv flätas samman mer, än vi vet därför och att nå ut till varje annan är ett underbart långt som gör världen en härlig bostad.

Jag ser egentligen framåtriktat till danandevänner över hela världen.

Wil enkel een ogenblik nemen om de gemeenschap bij het Nemen van Globaal het hier te begroeten. Wegens mijn programma, zal ik niet mijn profiel kunnen voltooien rechtsweg, maar in de loop van de volgende weken, zal ik het voltooid krijgen aangezien ik met deze gemeenschap en hopelijk, maak veel nieuwe vrienden vertrouwd word.

Ik ben van deze gemeenschap lid geworden omdat ik denk het zeer belangrijk is dat Amerikanen aan mensen buiten ons land verbinden en leren en verschillende culturen begrijpen. Wij worden zo door de media, zijn zo moeilijk voor ons geïsoleerd om te weten wat echt is en wat onwerkelijk is. Ons leven wordt ineengestrengeld meer dan wij daarom het weten, is het bereiken aan elkaar een prachtige manier om tot de wereld een mooie plaats te maken te leven.

Ik verheug me werkelijk op het maken van vrienden wereldwijd.

Why???

What was the motive in releasing information that Cheney was a cousin to Presidential Candidate Barack Obama?

Cousins usually mean that we have the same grandparents somewhere on our family tree. But, the Article stated that Mrs.Cheney made the discovery while she was doing some family research for her husband. PLEASE!

Logically this is what really happened.

.They were digging trying to find some dirty genes to sabotage the Obama campaign

.But all they could come up with was a grandfather who they referred to as a common ancestor of the two men to be a 17th century immigrant from France. LOL

So, they held on to it, trying decide OMG, what should we do?

I guess they figured, this is dirty as it gets, what black would vote for anybody related to Dick Cheney,

But, guess what? Most of us are related to some white person who was our grandparent…..and?

Why claim kindred now?

It was said that Mrs. Cheney referred to this as amazing. Read the story. Although Osama's heritage is somewhat different from the masses of blacks in America, I am amazed that she would be amazed.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7048325.stm

Isn't it amazing, that Our great grandfathers crept into the huts at night to breed our great-grandmothers?

Isn't it amazing that they allowed their children to be counted among the cattle, whipped, and beaten?

Isn't it amazing that they allowed their blood to live and die in poverty as if their blood wasn't in our veins?

Isn't it amazing that one road could lead to wealth for generation after generation, while the other road would lead to struggle, heartache, pain and poverty generation after generation?

Isn't it amazing that they would want to claim kindred now? Hmm, yes amazing indeed.
