The Man Who Would Be King

the truth is hard to swallow. it's always easier to blame others instead of being accountable

Comment: excuses excuses excuses. you all know it's true. please let me give you the addresses to these places and I'll give you pictures of the same places 15 years ago. PATHETIC. doesn't take money to get off your butt and pick up your yard, or park your car in your driveway instead of at your front door. or take refridgerator to the dump instead of leaving it in front yard with grass growing up around it. again, ACCOUNTABILITY. stop crying poor me and get off your butts and do something to make a difference instead of sitting back with your hands held out. if your habits are so bad and your so lazy that you can't keep up your house and yard, i'm sure that crosses into your work habits and it's probably impossible to keep a job because you are lazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

George Washington isn't even close to being the only man in history who turned down the title of monarch.
In England, in the relatively recent past, King Edward VIII turned down the role not just of monarch, but of emperor. In the seventeenth century Oliver Cromwell turned down requests from Parliament that he claim the English crown. There are many other examples. Before commenting on historical matters, I would suggest that you study them.

My God do you people still want to carry this hate on and on into this 21st centry when will you quit hiating and live. you speaking of carring about people yet you hate and make up your lies. How many of you have ever tried to get to know a Black person instead of crossing the streets and praying that you can make it home safe without them seeing you. It is so heart rending to know so many of you have so much hate in your heart for a people you don't even know anything about. I am just another woman in this land that just happen to be half Indian and half Black and I am very proud of both. Races. We even have some whites in our family. Is there any kindness in any of your hearts. Another woman

If George Washington would have accepted the offer, the future of his family would have been entirely different. Thus, Paul would not have been born. The whole changing of the space time thing. Question. Does Paul know how to make a Martha Washington Cake?

true story - so typical for the average american town. growing up, i lived in a very average all american small town. very low crime rate, you could leave your doors open at night and go to bed and feel safe. the houses in my neighborhood were just your average houses, not big, but everyone took pride in their house and their yard and their neighborhood. i married and left. i came home recently and drove through my old neighborhood. it absolutely broke my heart. all the houses were trashed, yards were grown up like jungles, flourescent shutters and paint on houses, cars parked all along the streets and in the yards!!!!! i even saw a few refridgerators in some front yards. absolutely pathetic. it was a heartbreaking transformation of such a beautiful place to live. sad to say, it is in every neighborhood where black have moved in. there is no excuse for it. and don't cry that they are broke and don't have money to fix up house. it doesn't take money to get off your butt and clean your house and yard and take some pride in something. this is typical in so many places. what's the excuse???????

A) There is a Black History Month not because of slavery, but in spite of slavery and the adversity African American's have suffered through out our country's history . We celebrate/observed Black History Month to honor the long list of African American men and women who have made positive contributions to the 'American Way' whether it be scientific, artistic or political/civil progress.
B) Bill Washington would not be King today for the simple idea of keeping Royal Blood pure! If Georgia Washington became king, his decisions and the decisions of this descendants would have kept the Bloodline in the aristocracy. It would also have to depend if there would be any royal upheaval, and new families taking the thrown. This story was silly... but good for Bill Washington.

I think it is important to address how america is going to move forward, if a black man is elected president. What will become of minority issues and the identified divide and structure in place to promote non-whites.

If Obama is elected, will America do away with afirmative action? Will businesses still get a tax credit for hiring blacks? Will Obama sweep black america into shape, or will black america rise up and become lazier than ever? God save america - help GOP?? Pleeze help!

If Obama gets elected, will America abolish the whole afirmative action skit? Will companies no longer get tax breaks since we have a black president, therefore showing that anyone can be president? Is Obama going to show young blacks what they can become, or is black America going to go on holiday and become rebellious in their day? God save America Pleeze - GOP!

Special treatment to blacks? That has to be the most silly argument I've ever heard. Stop it! First of all, how do you have a 'white' heritage month...come on...germans, irish, french, spanish,...italian? Stop! If it does anything at all, it educates a nation run by and whos history is written by white men. I am a native american woman and we were recognized in our nations as equals and the history of white people is all over me, all over everyone who isn't white on a daily basis. When we start respecting all people and don't feel threatened by our differences, the world will be a better place.

Comment: are you denying that fact that there is special treatment that is extended to blacks that aren't extended to whites? that there is not a black history month or a black heritage celebration in december? just ask yourself, would there be any fallout or riots if starting in 2009, there was a white history month, or there was a special time allocated during the month of november for white heritage????

There is one significant problem with this article. First, a person who is sterile, as George Washington was, has no direct descendants. No children, no descendants. It is a simple rule. What George does have are collateral descendants, that is, folks alive today who are descended from close relatives. I would have expected a little tighter and more accurate article from a source generally consider reputable. Don't your editors edit?
