I think it is pretty much acknowledged that Sally Hemmings was whatever she was to Jefferson (I don’t know how to parse it honestly because when she was in Paris she could easily have stayed there she was free and she spoke French and he did educate and free all their children so there’s that). I hope for her sake…

I believe it was pretty well known that she was Jefferson’s sister in law. Her mother Elizabeth Hemmings had children with (Jefferson’s wife’s father). Sally’s mother was also a mixed race woman that’s why it was easy enough for Jefferson’s children to pass, I know the daughter Harriet did and one of his sons.

People with mental illness if they are not taking their meds are incapable of making rational decisions. This poor woman’s mother has to fight to try to help her daughter when she is incapable of making decisions for herself this is wrong. There should be a means by which people with mental illness can get the help…

I always remember Surya for those backflips as well. When I was growing up I was so happy to see her on the ice but I always felt that she got shafted because she was far more athletic in her skating and the style at the time was more delicate feminine ice princess. It has changed now because the type of skating that…

The problems in Haiti have been caused by white people being butt hurt that slaves got tired of being slaves and when things went pear shaped in France during the Revolution they took their freedom back. Haiti has been under punishment since then because white folks in the United States were scared that their slaves…

Mexico like many countries in the West Indies are experiencing violence from drug cartels trafficking drugs through their countries. The US has a drug problem and unfortunately Wyoming doesn’t have the right climate to grow cacao . The cartels make a great deal of money from the drug trade and many people in the…

Thee is no way. We have friends that are a British/French marriage but they live and work in the US. A Few years ago they had some visa issues while back in England over the summer, they got it sorted out and were back before September. I am from the West Indies we have a distant relation with vias issues who lived in…

Nobody should have to advocate for their health when they are sick and in pain. Health care PROFESSIONALS should be PROFESSIONALS and as PROFESSIONALS do their jobs and listen to their patients, give a PROFESSIONAL diagnosis and try to be as competent as PROFESSIONAL as possible. I am not a doctor, I do not know their…

Here in New York there are East Indian communities. India is very big with many languages and religions so it has distinction even among people from the same country. I identify myself as West Indian American because in New York enough people know what that means. Outside of NY most people just hear the Indian and…

I am from New York and in certain areas like Queens and Brooklyn there are very distinct communities of West Indian/African peoples. The markets have distinctly Jamaican, Trinidadian, Guyanese, type foods according to the neighborhoods. This might be a New York thing though. I am West Indian/Trinidadian and I always…

It is so weird how these things happen it’s hair it’s growing out of one person’s head yet it’s like three or four people are having an argument on top of one head. I gave up on trying to fix my own hair ages ago.

Thank Heaven that you recognized that. I was in the ER (I had a reaction to my allergy shot and had to go for observation because the meds they gave me for the reaction could affect the heart) and the woman next to me had a similar problem. She had gallstones and they were in the process of giving her pain medication,…

I wish I could get my hair to behave for a fro but my hair curls on one side is straight on the other and I am so lazy about hair anyway a wig is my usual style staple.

The reason why nobody from New York voted for him is because we know that he’s an idiot as well it is pretty obvious.

Lawyers will take the money, however, Trump is a crap client. He lies all the time, he does not listen to legal advice, and worst of all he does not pay his bills. Lawyers can see signs and follow patterns Trump’s history puts lawyers on notice if representing him: record the conversation and come in pairs because…

It is better than nothing but honestly this is the representation he deserves after a lifetime of not paying his lawyers.

I believe in the power of hot water and soap because I have seen grown women walk out of the bathroom and straight past the taps. Believe it I use paper towels to open doors at work.

Hence Donald Trump himself not having quality lawyers when he really needs excellent legal representation.

I have the opposite problem we have those wave your hands under soap dispensers when our tiny humans were littles we had to make sure they were not in the bathroom washing, their hands, bodies and floors with the soap because waving your hands and getting soap is like magic to kids.

I get the ladies individually wrapped ones so that they don’t get dry in my bag I never leave home without it. Also I am one of those people who has to wash their hands before I use the bathroom as well as after I am just that paranoid.
