“I worked with a young woman who told me she was NOT African American and she and her family resented being listed as such.
Her family had been traced back to Scotland as far back as the 1500's and came to America in the 1600's as "Free People of Color". Her surname was Washington.

If we could trace everyone BACK...where would we end up?
Is there a road map to The Garden of Eden ?”

“There is no road map to the so-called Garden of Eden because it did not exist. If you wish to believe in talking snakes and magic apples, that is your problem.”

“Maybe we could all just go back to being....Americans, and be proud of that. There are people all over the world who would do anything to be a part of what we have here.

People who are LUCKY enough to be born here should show that they are proud of their country.
And by the way, "African/American" is not a race. And that is what he said.”

“Then you should respect her wishes. However don't use this anecdotal example as justification for not using African American, especially not because Glen Beck said that it was just 'Political Correctness'.

I think he's on a slippery slope to the 'The N-Word is OK ! We haven't been able to use it because it's not PC !"

The wingNutZ are trying their best to redefine racism such that it allows them to keep all of the old biases and prejudices with out feeling any guilt and discomfort.”

“Last year I had my DNA (I have studied my genealogy for year and this was the next step.)

Let's just say that it's easier to say what I'm not. Before I got my results I knew from my own research about the Native American lines, the Scottish, Irish, German, Italian, Welsh and French.

I had to laugh because between the Eastern African, Middle Eastern, multiple elements of Native American, Indian, Spanish and Portuguese lines I found you would think that I would be able to get a decent tan. But, due to my Scandinavian ancestors, I look like the underbelly of a white fish no matter how I try.

Through the test I can track my Sephardic ancestors from Israel through to America, trace my Native Americans path and I see my African lines. It's a real rush I recommend to everyone.”

“Since I left Comerica Bank 7 years ago I haven't had one "funny" overdraft fee.
Their SOP was to run debits BEFORE credits.
They then collected the OD fees off the top of the deposit.
It was a racket that took me awhile to figure out. It didn't happen often and always took me aback but I was too busy to ask questions and assumed it was MY mistake until a teller told me it actually wasn't.

I switched banks and I was so glad I was banking at a hometown bank when I built my new home.
My 12 mos construction loan rolled into a 30yr 5 1/2% fixed rate mortgage loan AND it was considered subprime as I had sH i T credit in late 2005 and no one would touch me for less than 81/2%.

I know everyone in the bank and they know me by name and frankly I like that.
I needed a short term loan to bury my dad who passed suddenly intestate and we did it over the phone and since I had been sick they brought the papers to my house for me to sign and they deposited the money in my checking account.
THAT is customer service!

Switch you'll never regret it.”

“Corporate said it was an "image" thing.
No one who 'BOUGHT" the clothing wanted to see a less fortunate person wearing a suit they paid $250 for ...remember this was 1990 and back then a Louis Vuitton medium Speedy cost $200 so this was very nice clothing. They said RL did it that way so I guess they had to follow suit.

I agree that somehow we should have been able to just destroy the label and not harm the clothing but honestly I believe they were just snobs..nothing more, nothing less...and it was beneath them to actually help someone. They just wanted that donation receipt for the tax write off.

As I said PATHETIC.”

“Back in the 90's I worked as a store manager for a chain similar to Ann Taylor today. At corporates insistence our district manager had us cut the buttons off all the clothing or pull the tab off the zipper before we donated them to a charity.
The vast majority were returns that had been worn once but returned for any number of reasons...mostly because we had a no questions asked return policy and quite a few woman who enjoyed working the system. We couldn't re sell them as they were considered used clothing so they stacked up in the back room.
My district manager had to call a new charity every year because no one ever come back a second time for the buttonless "donations". It was pathetic.
We store managers tried unsuccessfully to lobby corporate to donate the clothing to a low income dress for success program. They refused.”

“I have no doubt that these type incidents also happened with the Bush White House.

More than likely there CYB system worked flawlessly.

BUT think about it...the BIG BIG BIG difference is WE DIDN'T CARE who crashed a Bush party or function so it wasn't news worthy PERIOD.
My first thought would have been WHY would anyone want to crash a Bush function?
Then I would have laughed and shaken my head.

The Democratic public is a bit hyper vigilant about Pres Obama and hope and pray those who are to protect him would be also.”
