MY NEW DISCOVERY ON THINK MTV.COM....

I WAS RECENTLY INTRODUCED TO AND JOINED THE COMMUNITY OF THINKMTV.COM. IT IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE SHARE, DISCUSS, AND AIM TO PUT KNOWLEDGE AND POSITIVE THINKING OUT TO THE WORLD FOR CHANGE THROUGH POLITICS, CHARITY WORK, AND COMMUNICATIONS.

IN MY OPINION YOU HAVE TO BE LIVING UNDER A ROCK IF YOU CAN'T FEEL THE URGENCY THAT PEOPLE DESPERATELY NEED AND DESIRE CHANGE. I HAVE TO ADMIT IT IS INSPIRING AND SCARY ALL AT THE SAME TIME. THAT'S WHY SITES LIKE THESE ARE IMPORTANT TO THE SURVIVAL OF DEMOCRACY AND THE OVERALL SANITY OF THE PEOPLE. OUTLETS LIKE THESE DEFINITELY HELP US MAINTAIN SOME SORT OF BALANCE WHILE PROCESSING ALL THIS CHAOS.

I CAME ACROSS THIS VIDEO POSTED ON THE FRONT PAGE TODAY, AND FOUND IT TO BE ENLIGHTENING, INTERESTING, AND I DEFINITELY FEEL IT MEETS THE DISCUSSION QUOTA. IT IS MIXED WITH THINGS I GAINED KNOWLEDGE OF IN THE POST 9/11 "CONSPIRACY FRENZY" AND SOME I HAD NONE. OVERALL INFORMATION IS KEY AND IF ITS OUT THERE WHY NOT GRAB IT...ITS ALL UP TO YOU HOW YOU MAKE IT WORK FOR YOUR LIFE....

****WARNING...THIS VIDEO ISN'T FOR EVERYONE....SOME MAY BE SENSITIVE TO SOME OF THE SUBJECT MATTER** ITS ALWAYS A FINE LINE WITH POLITICS AND RELIGION****



ALL COMMENTS WELCOME!!!

OBAMA IS NOT THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT

Today on my facebook page I found these interesting notes by FACEBOOK friend ROD DEAL. I am always looking for interesting facts, reads, and finds and this is today's...enjoy.

ROD DEALs NOTES found ON FACEBOOK ....
Today at 11:44am

Obama is Not the first black President.

Vaughn's research shows Jefferson was not the only former black U.S. president. Who were the others? Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge. But why was this unknown? How were they elected president? All five of these presidents never acknowledged their black ancestry.



Jefferson, who served two terms between 1801 and 1809, was described as the "son of a half-breed Indian squaw and a Virginia mulatto father," as stated in Vaughn's findings. Jefferson also was said to have destroyed all documentation attached to his mother, even going to extremes to seize letters written by his mother to other people.



President Andrew Jackson, the nation's seventh president, was in office between 1829 and 1837. Vaughn cites an article written in The Virginia Magazine of History that Jackson was the son of an Irish woman who married a black man. The magazine also stated that Jackson's oldest brother had been sold as a slave.



Lincoln, the nation's 16th president, served between 1861 and 1865. Lincoln was said to have been the illegitimate son of an African man, according to Leroy's findings. Lincoln had very dark skin and coarse hair and his mother allegedly came from an Ethiopian tribe. His heritage fueled so much controversy that Lincoln was nicknamed "Abraham Africanus the First" by his opponents.



President Warren Harding, the 29th president, in office between 1921 and 1923, apparently never denied his ancestry. According to Vaughn, William Chancellor, a professor of economics and politics at Wooster College in Ohio, wrote a book on the Harding family genealogy. Evidently, Harding had black ancestors between both sets of parents. Chancellor also said that Harding attended Iberia College, a school founded to educate fugitive slaves.

Coolidge, the nation's 30th president, served between 1923 and 1929 and supposedly was proud of his heritage. He claimed his mother was dark because of mixed Indian ancestry. Coolidge's mother's maiden name was "Moor" and in Europe the name "Moor" was given to all blacks just as "Negro" was used in America. It later was concluded that Coolidge was part black.

The only difference between Obama and these former presidents is that none of their family histories were fully acknowledged by others. Even though Obama is half-white, he strongly resembles his Kenyan father. And not only is Obama open about his ancestry, most people acknowledge him as a black man, which is why people will identify Obama, if elected, as the first black president of the United States.

SOMETHING I PICKED UP FROM A FRIEND.....THANK YOU NICOLE.

Beautiful Message!


A wonderful Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.


We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.


These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.


It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.


Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.


Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it.
A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep
inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind...
