like all the points and never really thought about some of the origins. Had no clue about the numbers!

was a small dark skinned woman who lived in central east Africa 130K years ago. We are family and 99% of us are the descendants of immigrants. Get over yourself; you're not that special.

... and have us blame that group for us losing our jobs, etc. while we all get screwed by the wealthy on this planet through these policies of "free trade agreements" that seek to seretly override our governments, and "guest worker" programs that let the wealthy get away with making more of us wage slaves in the interest of making everything "cheaper" where we still can't afford it because we've lost our wealth to them.

All the more reason for us to *pull ourselves together* and fight for all of us, not just be pushed against each other!

Some believe in the greater good for everyone




Some are good with kids




Some are intensely beautiful on multiple levels






But I'd not want a neighbor from Mars

Aug 2015

When I was born I was black
When I was sad I was black
When I was hot I was black
When I was sick I was black
When I was scared I was black

When you was born you was pink
When you was sad you was blue
When you was hot you was red
When you was sick you was green
When you was scared you was yellow

And you call me colored.
