  my husband called me at work to tell me that he was in extreme pain (he is handicapped.).

  i was the charge nurse at a medical facility and the only rn on duty, so i couldn't leave.

  i was unable to reach my oldest daughter, so i called the twins (the ones that are shunning me).

  Hi, MsMcDucket-

  I hope your hubby is feeling much better. I don't have Sickle-cell, but I personally have had friends amd relatives of friends die from it.
  
  I feel for you that no one informed you of the fact that they checked in on your husband. People can often be cruel without even knowing it. The Dubs who have DFd relatives do all of that shunning, as though you hurt them, when really they are the ones causing all of the hurt.

  Be strong.

  Does the King Kong movie have racist overtones?

  Being that I am half-black and half-white, I believe that I can be the most objective person to post on this topic! LOL!
  
  
  
  

  Next, Kong is a King, after all. He has people worshipping him, making sacrifices to him and what not. He is a lot like Jehoover. The blonde (blond?) represents the bride class of the 144 grand glorious ones. Hmm...or not.

  Hey, how many black 144k's are there? I used to know one, but he got DF'd and lost out on that hope.

  Remember Mighty Joe Young? What was that all about? They made a remake of MJY. An afican-american radio personality from an african-american radio station here in Philly said about MJY: Mighty Joe Young is a misunderstood brother. This prompted me and one of my black co-workers to have a discussion called, "Are they a brother?". We came up with a few brothers of TV/Movie fame: Scooby-Doo, Godzilla, Ultra Man, Bobby Hill, Darth Vader, Herman Munster, and Garfield.

  Awesome movies with a black central character or casts:
  
  A Soldier's Story. This move was very good. It had racism of northern blacks vs. southern blacks, blacks blaming the whites for a specific murder, a black lead investigator. A plot twist or two. Excellent acting and story.

  In the Heat of the Night. A Philly cop in a mostly racist Mississippi town. Strong black character 10 times smarter than all other (white) characters.

  The Color Purple. Directed by the very white Steven Spielberg. Believable acting. Sad and touching movie.

  City of God, Rabbit Proof Fence (both non-american films depicting stories involving people of color), Waiting to Exhale, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Ray, Shaft (because he's a baaad mother...shut your mouth), Carmen Jones (starring Dorothy Dandridge), To Kill a Mockingbird, and X.

  I don't thing King Kong is with racial overtones (or, is it undertones?). I always thought the plot was a little ridiculous, however. How on earth does he expect to "get his groove on" with this woman? It won't fit! Also, why come the woman won't pass out from the smell of Kong? Also, imagine how big his poops must be! Imagine if you had to clean it up. I would have to find another job.

  i look like a newbie, but i post under another name.

  the reason i created this new name was to keep a certain someone, who reads this board but does not post, from discovering this post.. i posted about this business that my boyfriend is involved in.

  i was skeptical about it.

  i have to tell all of you here about the shocking thing that i have witnessed at my place of employment.

  let me say that i own a cell phone and i don't have a problem using it.

  but there has to be some common sense guidelines about where and when a cell phone should not be used.

  I work for a major credit card company and cell phones are prohibited from being used in the building.
  But, some people sit on the "crapper" without actually,...well...crapping.
  They are using their cell phones while making a pretend crap.

  horrible life said: For anybody who cares, Q-tips, when they first came out, were called Baby Gays. It was a trivia question, on our local radio station. HL

  Thanks for that tidbit!
