No this is not a dramatization - this is real Americana

The other day we posted a piece with a former klansman telling us how he recovered from racism. today we bring you a woman who recently called into a national radio show and went "Colored" yes Colored..take into account that she's 90 years old and in Naples Fl.  that's not exactly the ghetto of republica.  she is however listening to a conservative radio talk show on politics.

Watch This and no this is not a dramatization - this is real

CALLER: I'm 90 years old and I just wanted to ask the colored man, why don't colored people instead of saying what we did to them, why don't they say what we did for them? They talk about the slavery but since then they have been given welfare, free medicine, free everything.
HARLESTON: Ma'am I think this is more of a conversation about the relationship between the administration and the people on Wall Street and not necessarily one that's based on race.
CALLER: Oh, okay. I'm not a racist. That was my comment. Thank you.

now of course we have a snappy retort on this little incident. you see this is the mentality of 90 year olds who vote. if you sit home in november, she and her camomile tea partiers will take over the recently in the process of being reformed government; and set us back to Colored.

Yes White and Black People we will again be dealing with this old and tired addage. just think of how easy it is to equate it with todays ills.

1. Healthcare -
2. Economics -
3. Free Everything..

She says she's not a racist, but please tell me where I go to get that Free Everything ?
Anybody ?

Juneteenth should be made national holiday
By Heber Taylor – The Galveston Daily News
Published June 19, 2010

For the past several years, The Daily News has been asking the president of the United States to make Juneteenth a national holiday. Juneteenth, of course, marks the day slaves in Texas learned they were free.

Those who are lobbying for a national holiday are not asking for a paid day off. They are asking for a commemorative day, like Flag Day on June 14 or Patriot Day on Sept. 11. All that would take is a presidential proclamation. Both the U.S. House and Senate have endorsed the idea.

Why is a national celebration for an event that occurred in Galveston and originally affected only those in a single state such a good idea?

Because Juneteenth has become a symbol of the end of slavery. No matter how much we may regret the tragedy of slavery and wish it weren’t a part of this nation’s story, it is. Denying the truth about the past is always unwise.

For those who don’t know, Juneteenth started in Galveston. On Jan. 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. But the order was meaningless until it could be enforced. It wasn’t until June 19, 1865 — after the Confederacy had been defeated and Union troops landed in Galveston — that the slaves in Texas were told they were free.

People all across the country get this story. That’s why Juneteenth celebrations have been growing all across the country. The celebration started in Galveston. But its significance has come to be understood far, far beyond the island, and far beyond Texas.

The holiday is a perfect solution to that uncomfortable question: What do you do about an awful legacy?

You do what people in Galveston do year after year. You join together to celebrate its end and to pray for reconciliation and healing.

How can a national day of reconciliation and healing not be a good thing?
