I was blog surfing and landed on
The Hill's Blog Briefing Room
Too much rhetoric about Obama being black.
We all know he's African American, this is no secret.
One guy named Pete said "name one black hero".
I quote, Pete said:
"I have a black hero. Tiger Woods! To me, most every other black person is a disaster. Look at Barry Bonds, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Gary Sheffield, Charles Barkley, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson. Name me a black hero!! I'm waiting"
Commented by Pete-June 14, 2008
Apparently Pete was raised in a box with the lid nailed shut if that's all the African-American's he's ever heard of.
Pete didn't have too long to wait.
Wrong attitude, wrong person!
So I did.
I answered:
You're a bit of a disaster yourself, Pete.
You want the name of an African American hero, ok,
Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela,Winnie Mandela, Rosa Parks, Harriett Tubman, The Four Little Girls who were murdered in 1963 bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, Mohammad Ali, Reverend Jesse Jackson, Reverend Al Sharpton.
Thurgood Marshall
I always loved this man. So dignified, so wise! Thurgood Marshall

React!
It's time to stop child trafficking!
The best available estimate is that 1.2 million children are trafficked worldwide every year for exploitation purposes such as forced labor, commercial sexual exploitation, prostitution and servitude, among other forms of slavery.
*******
In the end, I could say, thank you Pete,But I Won't.
Because of your ignorance Pete; I did some work, and really gained a lot of knowledge.
This is what makes the world go round, the exchange of ideas, negative or positive.

Note to, California Governor Jerry Brown,
California Conservation Corps
I just happen to have this info because I've been following the situation of the CCC!
California is a Wilderness State and this kind of program is not only good for the Young People of the state, who need all the help and encouragement you can give them, but also for the State of California. Please re-instate or keep The California Conservation Corps (CCC).
One of the most popular New Deal programs. The CCC put three million young men to work in camps across America during the height of the Great Depression.
2009
governor schwarzenegger has just released his proposed 2009,10 budget which includes the elimination the California Conservation Corps (CCC)! The 2010 Backcountry Trails Program application process will open on 12/7/2009, and close 2/23/2010.
The Backcountry Trails Program was established in 1979, as a special program within the California Conservation Corps, the oldest and largest conservation corps program in the world.
A proud tradition of excellence has been forged by the many members who have played a vital role helping to build, maintain, and repair trails in some of California's most magnificent wilderness areas.
Each spring, the Back country Trails Program assembles six crews of men and women, from widely diverse backgrounds, who leave behind the conveniences and luxuries of modern life and venture into the mountains to spend five exhausting months doing some of the most challenging and ultimately rewarding work of their lives. The 17 members who comprise each of these crews learn through experience the skills of trail maintenance, construction, and the process of building healthy productive communities.
