Words to live By..My Cousin..TINA TURNER
"Sometimes you've
got to let everything go -
purge yourself.
If you are unhappy with anything . . .
whatever is bringing you
down, get rid of it.
Because you'll
find that when you're free,
your true creativity, your true
self comes out.”
Tina Turner"...AKA..my Cousin..
Annie Mae Bullock...
through my mother's side of the Bullock family..

Walmart: Black Barbie Sold Cheaper Than White Barbie at Store - ABC News
"Walmart is raising eyebrows after
cutting the price of a black Barbie doll to
nearly half of that of the doll's white counterpart
at one store and possibly others.
Walmart priced a dark-skinned Barbie
cheaper than a light-skinned Barbie.
(http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/224187/Wal+Mart+Fail/)
More PhotosA photo first posted to the
humor Web site FunnyJunk.com and
later to the Latino Web site Guanabee.com shows
packages of Mattel's Ballerina
Barbie and Ballerina Teresa dolls
hanging side by side at an unidentified store.
The Teresa dolls, which feature brown skin
and dark hair, are marked as being on
sale at $3.00. The Barbies to the right of the
Teresa dolls, meanwhile, retain their
original price of $5.93. The dolls look identical
aside from their color.
Editors at Guanabee.com said the person
responsible for the photo told the
Web site that it was taken at a Louisiana Walmart store.
The person did not return
e-mails from ABCNews.com.
A Walmart spokeswoman, who could not verify the
exact store shown in the photo, said that the price
change on the Teresa doll was part of
the chain's efforts to clear shelf space for
its new spring inventory.
'To prepare for (s)pring inventory, a number
of items are marked
for clearance, ' spokeswoman Melissa O'Brien
said in an e-mail..Both are great dolls. The red price sticker
indicates that this particular doll was on clearance when
the photo was taken, and though both dolls were
priced the same to start, one was marked down
due to its lower sales"

Billions for Black farmers & Native Americans - Smiley & West
"Reply by sheila Jordan
I say to this country, owners .black..
where property of..continues
to become anyone whose lived ..
died and survived the masses of Slavery.
which in my opinion ..still lives..to this day..
the word Property..stems as
a legency built on legislators turning their backs ..
ur proved hard working
and above all..built this country..
african american..the neglect..never admits.
.but says..through living abandon..
used through labor as abuse..the conduct..
living on land..Indians owned..Black ..
kept out negotiations..
where we had
no words or decision making..
where a mule told us..acres were discovered..
property value..farmers are still
after all these years..proud owners..
Now..recieves
help.and yet..the burials spots.where
life once gained recogintion..was
reconstructed..remembered, the slave..I am not
a bit surprised..how Land..
owned ..operated..the crops of freedom..
who sees hard workers in fields..
victims of Neglect in these times we live..2010...
what has been and always will b..
a cry for help..a damn shame this is..
what is to become..farmers w/ work conpensation.
.rights..motions passed...waiting for so long...
God Helps Us all..Create..Sheila"
