I was answering another Q the other day, (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqUN_U2mS35l5wIMaa3BS5Dsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071017080350AAZ6n9H&show=7#profile-info-X9L5r2h3aa)
and it showed this website that a sister created saying that we don't need to relax our hair. that we are brainwashed by our white counterparts into thinking that our own hair is 'bad, nappy, and unmanageable'. Now don't get me wrong I am sure, even positive, that this happened in the past. I have seen too many studies showing how we used to think black was ugly, but this day(2007) is post the 'black is beautiful' and 'I'm black and I'm Proud' days...Why am I only a good black if i have natural hair, or my fist up in the air, etc...When our lighter brothers (Caucasians) do the same thing, 'I'm white and proud', or hold their hands in the air (this time not in a fist), we call it HATRED, RACISM. Just food for thought,

What do you think? Do you feel it is STILL necessary to prove how black you are?

It's kind of old. 50's or 60's maybe. Black & White. A girl is sick and possibly dying. She lies in bed and out the window is a vine growing up the wall, with leaves on it. She quits trying to fight her illness and decides that when the last leaf on the vine falls she will die. As it starts getting closer to winter, the leaves begin to fall. There is also an older man who is a painter and at the end of the movie we find out that he went out and painted the last leaf on the wall. So, it would never fall, thus ending up saving the girls life. He ends up dying of exposure from being outside painting the leaf on the wall. You find out right at the end of the movie that the leaf is painted on. I watched this movie back when I was in the 8th grade. The lit teacher played it. Maybe it was based on a book. I don't know. Please help me out. Thanks!

I have a 12 month old son who had a flesh colored, pimple look-a-like (but no puss or excessively raised) growth on his cheek, which started to appear about 10 days ago. He had it for a couple of days and one day it turned red and had seemed to have grown. I scheduled to have him checked out that day and the doctor looked at him for litterally 3 minutes and claimed the lesion to be eczema (eventhough he never once scratched that spot or seemed to appear to be itchy there). She gave him some atopic dermatitis creme and said it should dissapear in 4 days,2 days later (today) the skin and the lesion just seem to have gotten more agetated and the redness seems to have spread. I think the creme is too harsh for his skin and it doesn't seem to help. I am going to bring him to the doctor again today, but I was wondering if anyone had any clue or any info on what this could be. The lesion right now is pretty flat and red, but if you look closely the center is more yellow than red...

Many states will not be able to continue the funding of the very successful SCHIP program. All of the children who were covered will now fall back through the cracks and be uninsured again. In my state our SCHIP program is called PeachCare. Our state is controlled by republicans. Our officials have stated that without the reauthorization of the SCHIP program that they will not be able to fund this program because they were counting entirely on funding from the federal government.

What will happen to these children?

I have a 2004 Titan. It just got out of the shop b/c the rear differential and transfer case had to be replaced. However, my truck is not 4wd, so there shouldn't be a transfer case right? Or is there? I think the service lady just called it a transfer case on accident and meant something else.
