I mean what other kind of role could she play without eluding to her size, something that is part of who she is right now? If we are honest we DO see color and weight, so would it be a believable role for her to play a character that ignored the obvious? And let's just get this straight, I am black and a big lady so don't think I'm just being mean in my comments. Basically, She will be in stereo-typed roles until she loses the weight.

A "high number" of erasures? In some cases that high number was two more than the average. I'm not buying it. Of all the school districts in the state of Georgia, the largest black district cheated. Over half the schools in that district were flagged for "cheating." Are you kidding me? I need the AJC to tell the entire story. Please. A “high number” of erasures?

It is one of my favorites but I had only heard in church. Not only did I find the song but I found a live version. Praise His name! I was so touch by your narrative. It reminded me of a poem: Autumn Autumn is the most romantic time of year the smell in the air the changing of leaves long, slow walks along a winding trail the cool crisp breeze and lovers embrace a warm cozy night by the fireplace May your good memories remain within you. God bless. I too was looking for the song. It is one of my favorites but I had only heard in church. Not only did I find the song but I found a live version. Praise His name!
I was so touch by your narrative. It reminded me of a poem:

Autumn
Autumn is the most
romantic time of year
the smell in the air
the changing of leaves
long, slow walks
along a winding trail
the cool crisp breeze
and lovers embrace
a warm cozy night
by the fireplace

May your good memories remain within you. God bless.

And what I find most fascinating is how data can be visualised nowadays with the graphical computing power of modern PCs, as in many of the dozens of examples in these <a href="http://crisismaven.wordpress.com/references/references-subjects-covered/data-structuring/data-visualisation-references/" rel="nofollow">Data Visualisation References</a>.

Ms. Watts is just a prop to show that "look I'm not a racist I'm talking to a Negro"....please. If Jesus should come back as Mr. Robertson hopes he will, his racist attitudes will comdemn him.

]]> Comment on 2 Christians 9 abortions (The Jamaica Observer) by GRIFFCO http://www.blackinformant.com/uncategorized/2-christians-9-abortions-the-jamaica-observer/comment-page-1#comment-11918 GRIFFCO Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:22:37 +0000 http://blackinformant.com/2008/02/24/2-christians-9-abortions-the-jamaica-observer/#comment-11918 Abortion in my opinion is wrong,because its against the will of God.Many comment's here come from the heart,but the heart can be treacherious and who can know it ,say's the LORD.So if we as society,looks at abortion as ok ,its in disagreement with the will of God. If that is a concern for any pregnanat woman,young or old,it is her moral choice to deside what she want's to do about it,and not socieity's.True,she must ultimitly answer for her conduct, at some point in time,but we ,must be removed from all judgment as she excercizes her descision.As for young teenagers,sex is against God's will,let alone abortion.So its a double capital offense against God's will.And this is not a judgement,it is the truth. If God teaches us his likes and dislikes,and we go contrary to that,that is not a judgement for we are not ignorent but taught people,it is therefore not a sin on our part if we condem this sort of conduct.As for secular law condeming abortion,it is in their power to do so,without predjudise or malice.In my country the girles would be cut and become sterilized.Thus a soulution for their nemfo behavior.
