COLLECTIVE RECALL

Given one day before:

"It would not be helpful at this time to have them come back during these negotiations and risk injecting presidential politics into this process or distract important talks about the future of our nation's economy. If that changes, we will call upon them. We need leadership; not a campaign photo op."

In Memoriam, here's one of my favorite Richard Pryor routines.... Racist Word Association Interview Interviewer.....Chevy Chase Mr. Wilson.....Richard Pryor Interviewer: Alright, Mr. Wilson, you've done just fine on the Rorshact.. your papers are in good order.. your file's fine.. no difficulties with your motor skills.. And I think you're probably ready for this job. We've got one more psychological test we always do here. It's just a Word Association. I'll throw you out a few words - anything that comes to your mind, just throw back at me, okay? It's kind of an arbitrary thing. Like, if I say "dog", you'd say..? Mr. Wilson: "Tree". Interviewer: "Tree". [ nods head, prepares the test papers ] "Dog". Mr. Wilson: "Tree". Interviewer: "Fast". Mr. Wilson: "Slow". Interviewer: "Rain". Mr. Wilson: "Snow". Interviewer: "White". Mr. Wilson: "Black"....

MORGAN FREEMAN SAYS BLACK HISTORY MONTH IS RIDICULOUS

Morgan Freeman says the concept of a month dedicated to black history is "ridiculous." "You're going to relegate my history to a month?" the 68-year-old actor says in an interview on CBS' "60 Minutes" to air Sunday (7 p.m. EST). "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history." Black History Month has roots in historian Carter G. Woodson's Negro History Week, which he designated in 1926 as the second week in February to mark the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. Woodson said he hoped the week could one day be eliminated — when black history would become fundamental to American history. Freeman notes there is no "white history month," and says the only way to get rid of racism is to "stop talking about it."

Dispelling the myth, so you might see the truth!

Most don`t know the historical Abe Lincoln as well as they think and I submit that most Blacks--who spout this myth about "Lincoln didn't free the Slaves because he thought it was wrong, he did it to weaken the south’s industry & bring them back to the union"— are mendacious, or uninformed in the least. Abe Lincoln made open commentary about his hatred of Slavery at least twenty years before he became president! Check out some excerpts of his major speeches on Slavery ... Speech at Chicago, Illinois July 10, 1858 I have always hated slavery, I think as much as any Abolitionist. I have been an Old Line Whig. I have always hated it, but I have always been quiet about it until this new era of the introduction of the Nebraska Bill began. I always believed that everybody was against it, and that it was in course of ultimate extinction.” Definition of Democracy August 1, 1858? As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea ...
