Life Without Black People
.
A very humorous and revealing story is told about a group of white people who were fed up with African Americans, so they joined together and wished themselves away. They passed through a deep dark tunnel and emerged in sort of a twilight zone where there is an America without black people.
.
At first these white people breathed a sigh of relief.
.
‘At last’, they said, ‘no more crime, drugs, violence and welfare.’
. All of the blacks have gone! Then suddenly, reality set in. The ‘NEW AMERICA’ is not America at all - only a barren land. Read More

You Are Beautiful
==================
.
You are beautiful. . .
.
It’s a phrase that my mother uses a lot.. I used to wonder, “How in the world can Mother call them
beautiful?”
.
I am a logical, statistical man.
I call things as I see them.
I didn’t see beauty.
.
My mother would tell people this with an enthusiasm they
could feel. She was genuine. She wasn’t telling them they
were beautiful to get something from them. Most of the
time, they were trying to get something from her.
.
I wondered for years what was wrong with Mother’s perception and
vision. Couldn’t she see that all of the people she called
beautiful, weren’t beautiful?
.
You were beautiful only if you had a certain figure and face

glamour. Yet when my mother spoke, people smiled as though
Glamour magazine had listed them as one of the beautiful people
of the year.
.
It took me years to finally understand my mother’s vision

One of those strange newspaper stories told of a 19-year-old woman who had been charged in Los Angeles with two counts of
trespassing — after sneaking into the home of actor Brad Pitt and
trying on his clothes. I suppose we have different ways of adoring
our heroes..
.
But who are our real heroes? I was given a little quiz recently. See
how well you do:
.
Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
Name five Olympic gold medalists.
Name the last five winners of your national beauty contest.
Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
Name the last half-dozen Academy Award winners for best actor
