Actor Laurence Fishburne Reads A Former Slave's Letter To His Old Master

In 1864, Jourdon Anderson and his wife escaped a life of slavery and moved to Ohio. A year later, he received a desperate letter from the man who used to own him, in which he was asked to return to work on his now ailing plantation. Jourdon's magnificent reply, performed here by none other than Laurence Fishburne at Letters Live at The Town Hall in New York back in 2018, was dictated by Jourdon and reprinted in numerous newspapers. Jourdon Anderson never returned to Big Spring, Tennessee. He passed away in 1907, aged 81, and is buried alongside his wife and eleven children.

Difference Between Grandmothers & Grandfathers (HUMOR)

Repost

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Grandmothers and Grandfathers?

Well, here it is: There was this loving grandfather who always made a special effort to spend time with his son's family on weekends. Every Saturday morning he would take his 7-year-old granddaughter out for a drive in the car for some quality time -- just him and his granddaughter.

One particular Saturday, however, he had a bad cold and really didn't feel like being up at all. He knew his granddaughter always looked forward to their drives and would be disappointed.

Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter for the drive

When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her grandfather who was still in bed.

"Well, did you enjoy your ride with grandma?" he asked.

"Oh, yes, PapPap, it was really wonderful.

We didn't see a single asshole, blind bastard, dipshit or son of a bitch anywhere we went!"

Ross Perot 1992 - Balancing The Budget

Repost

Yeah I know, probably 90% of the folks won't make it the whole 28 minutes. BUT this is very important to watch given the financial mess this government is in today. If only officials would have used a fraction of his ideas we'd be far better off today. Instead politicians from both parties and pretty much the whole media made him out to be a joke.

I'm certain he would not have made a good president. Especially considering his horrible choice for vice president. HOWEVER. Ross should have most definitely been appointed financial advisor to the president or some such other influential position. Many of his ideas where rock solid when it came to finances. If it weren't for politics being involved no matter which party won they would have benefited from his expertise. We, the American people as well.

Most Americans have the attention span of a gold fish and just as poor a memory. This is why we end up with people voting the way they do. Don't be a goldfish. Watch the video.



America, now more then ever, needs someone with the smarts to lead it they way it should be led. So far I'm not seeing it's ever going to happen with the bunch we have. Honesty, ethics and smarts is not only in short supply it's almost none existent.
