Being a somewhat semi-serious observer I just go where the leads take me.
Today is election day and there has been much speculation about 0bama's origin and birthplace etc.
This past weekend while visiting Jekyll Island I stumbled across some evidence and thought I would let you decide for yourself what this means........ Is this the smoking gun as to his origin?
The picture to the right appears to be a young 0bama and is at the Jekyll Island Museum.
My friend Rebel found this in the bookstore.
Coincidence ?................ I wonder.
Note, I did not make this up......Just saying.
I have a copy of Little Black in my library...I understand many cities banned the book.
ReplyDeleteI had heard that, sad commentary in our country.
DeleteHa Ha. A coworker told me about a book from that era that I wanted to read to my kids but the public library didn't carry it - shocker - it is called Epaminous and his Auntie - it's about a stupid kid who can't follow instructions and drowns a puppy. As I understand it, the stupid kid in question may be black. That may be the crass description but you get the jist. Liberals like banning books. I will probably have to work just as hard to get a copy of Little Black Sambo, too.
ReplyDeletethe book store we were at had a stack knee high. Like I said they were 25.00. let me know. we can work something out
DeleteMermaid, You can find copies I am sure, maybe online. Thanks.
DeleteI really did want to buy a copy..but Good Lord it was over 25.00. She had a stack of them too !. As it was I was surprised to find many different copies of the Brer Rabbit stories..including the ones with Tar Baby. So far the boys love reading them.
ReplyDeleteJUGM, I did not see the price but hey if they can get that price more power to them.
DeleteI had to chime in on this one.
ReplyDeleteI am a Navy veteran and I hang out on "Paratus Familia" blog as (captain crunch)
Some of you guys may know me from the great blog "Aresenious the Hermit"
I served with many good black sailors, had lots of friends that were black. I find books like like "Little Black Sambo" revolting. However those books need to be "Preserved' for future generations because this racism crap keeps coming back around. Somehow some of us in this country need to stand guard against any tyranny where there it be against Jews, Blacks, Whites, Christians or any other social or political group.
Currently I reside in South Texas in a predomently Hispanic/ Latino nieghborhood. Being the lone white guy when I moved him, I notice a group of neighbors drinking "Bud Light" one night. I wanted to get to know my new neighbors, so I got a 30 pack of Bud Light.
I became their new friend real fast.
Now we drink beer, eat barbecue. They also shoot and eat deer, hogs and make great sausage. They make fun of the fact that their ancestors only had to swim across the Rio Grande and my ancestors had to swim all the way from Ireland and Scotland.
I could not ask for better friends and neighbors....

Deletemy post was in reply to you, who-won't-use-you-name, rather than to the owner of the blog. Sorry about that, Duke!
Anon, I don't believe you are who you say, you did not spell "Arsenius" correctly.
DeleteIf you read the Sambo book, as I did many times as a child and also more recently, you will find that there is NOTHING racist in it. Would it be more palatable to you libtards if it were called "Little African-American Sambo"? Sambo did not live in America, and you have never lived in Africa! Get over it - it's a kid's book!
ReplyDeleteTo Anon - I find it hard to believe you are my friend, Arsenius the Hermit. Please, excuse yourself.
DeleteBaby Sis, some people are don't know what they are talking about. Thanks for the input my friend.
