TYRA BANKS---AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL CYCLE 14---STILL VERY UNO...

Send me a photo of your soul. There is where your beauty lies....after taking that picture then you must send me a picture of your outside soul. As prerequisites of your being, you must be at least 5'7" and between 18-27 years of age. Does this describe you ? I did the media for Tyra in Atlanta a couple of months ago  (Oct 16, 2009 | post #4)

Humane Society Welcomes Michael Vick As Needed Partner

So tell everyone how you performed at your job for the last 30 days? I am just saying that very few of us, including myself, will at times, come up short when the game is on the line in our everyday life. So let each of us pledge to do our very best each day and lead by example, before analyzing someone who needs to right his lost ship. Let God take care of Vick, because God will have something to say to all of us on JUDGEMENT DAY !!!! "We all fall short", when we compare ourself with him. Do you agree?  (Sep 12, 2009 | post #29)

Do you think Saah Palin has an annoying whiny voice?

I seriously think that she is very intelligent person. However her voice is like nails scratching down on a chalkboard. Obama is bad enough with his "Ahh ....Ahhh...Ahhh... "  (Aug 8, 2009 | post #1)

Will it be harder for Kate Gosselin to remarry with eight kids ?

Though Jon Gosselin has displayed to the world, that he is more of a mouse than a man, Kate will have a harder time attracting a new spouse with all her baggage, (i.e. eight children, forty million TV viewers and one hell of a control problem herself). Personally, I believe she is simply a strong spirited woman, looking out for her offsprings. I wish the best for her and the kids  (Jul 24, 2009 | post #1)

Why don't you first start by asking your sister where does she normally eat? If you get her input, it will save your a lot of hassle and insecurity about your good intentions. If all else fails, why not buy your sister a prepaid Visa Walmart MoneyCard. That way she will be able to buy McDonald's or chinese.  (Jul 19, 2009 | post #3)

Black in America 2---Living in the real "Promised Land Plantation"

You are completely correct. Thank you for comfirming my family's story. Read carefully! I offered my family history as only a suggestion to follow. Many family historic situations are unique only to them . Everything that you posted is also correct, but only relevant to certain others. Finally,you are again correct, when it comes to the U.S. Census... Blacks in U.S.1840 census: Most blacks (slaves) were listed in a slave schedule as property, for political and tax purposes, in the south. Just like you said, until 1870, blacks were included without a last name, just like Indians. By the way, we know what name our ancestors picked. Check this out, Eeven today, children of unmarried couples, take the name of the mother. One more thing, I would like to correct you on the ownership of our plantation, My grandfather bought it with cash in the 1920'. However, the most important thing is that you are sharing knowledge many others can use selectively. I would like to hear more about your family story and your level of inter-racial genealogy research ? Thank you very much for your participation  (Jun 28, 2009 | post #3)

Racism - Blacks & Whites

Here is a story about a Georgia family mending race relations. They are starting with themselves first, and they recommend others to do the same. Stop conplaining and hating for no reason. We are all American. __________________ __________________ _____________ Livsey family descended from white, black and Indian Editor, the Gwinnett Forum: The Livseys of Gwinnett are recognized by Gwinnett County Historical Society as being one of only a handful of pioneering families to help settle our county. Since 1840, the Livsey families have been a backbone of Gwinnett. There are black Livseys and there are white Livseys'. After over 170 years, with the help of both sides, the Livseys' are now one powerful family. My father, Thomas and I, owners of the Promised Land, (the oldest surviving plantation in Gwinnett County), were researching our family tree a few years past. Initially, we made great strides putting our genealogical puzzle together. However, when we tried to go past the 1870's, we ran into a brick wall. You see, we are tri-racial, black, white and Indian. Before 1870, the United States did not include freed blacks, slaves or Indians in the federal census, making the job of tracing the family more difficult. Frustrated and dejected, I asked my father, "Why don't we call the white Livseys' to see if they can help us?" For years the two families knew about the other, and even on occasions, when they crossed paths, would joke about being related. But they never openly acknowledged the fact. My father called Jack Livsey of Snellville. Jack told us to call their family historian, Mrs. Annette Livsey Merritt of Decatur. What happened after our call to her was amazing. My dad called her, and she told him that the two of us should come over on a Sunday afternoon. Annette said," I have something to show you". That Sunday we arrived at her house, like two orphans in search of our lost parents. Anxious and full of anticipation, Annette showed us this huge plat book. It consisted of not only treasured family photos and articles dating back to the early 1800's, but she had articles and information about our side of the family. That day Annette Livsey Merritt welcomed us back in the family fold, and invited our side to their family reunion. Last year they voted me, Tom Livsey, family president. Last week for just the second time the two families became one family at a reunion. My father and I urge other minority and white families to do the same. "With an open mind, love and understanding, we can do great things about America's race relations", says Tom Livsey. -- Tom Livsey, Snellville OurTown News Editor; Georgia Topix Editor Source: (Gwinnett Forum, Elliott Brack-editor) ____________ I hope this story can be used to bridge our country's rivers of racism somehow. ____________  (Jun 23, 2009 | post #68)
