  • hrts Guess Who's Colored???   hrts

     Good Mornin' y'all.....updatating just isn't my top

     priority and so my posts tend to get old and boring :(

     There's much in our lives that could get posted and I wish I would

     have the time to share with ya, but it's not been happening! 

     I like to add pictures but part of the reason they don't get

     posted is because I don't know how!!  Anyway, this is an

     old e-mail, but I thought it was cute and you can think on

     it while I try to come up with something more inspiring :)

    Sorry folks if this colored guy is offensive to you.I needed someone black and this is the first guy I found to cut and paste to my site. I hadn't a clue who he was, (someone just today informed me he's in trouble with the law) and I still don't know his name....only that he played football (?) with the Falcons. (the only Falcon I know is an old Ford car that was very ugly when I was a child :) and maybe a huge bird with claws of some sort.... I'm not a sports fan in the slightest, don't watch TV or even read the newspaper, so I confess I'm quite ignorant when it comes to anything in the sports world, Hollywood and whatever else, so please bear with me when I goof like this :)

     

    The following was told by a black guy from Texas who

     had a great sense of humor and creativity.......   

     "When I born, I black,                                                                                         

     when I grow up, I black,                                                                                                

     when I go in sun, I black,                                                                                              

     when I cold, I black,                                                                                                      

     when I scared, I black!                                                                                                   

     when I sick, I black,                                                                                                       

     and when I die, I still black!

     You white folks......                                                                                                       

     when you born, you pink,                                                                                              

     when you grow up, you white,                                                                                      

     when you go in sun, you red,                                                                                        

     when you cold, you blue,                                                                                              

     when you scared, you yellow,                                                                                       

     when you sick, you green,                                                                                             

     when you bruised, you purple,                                                                                      

     and when you die, you gray.                                                                                          

     So who you callin' "colored" folks???

     Since I was born in the south, I learned to know these

     black people as soon as I knew white people, and they

     were special to me from infanthood. My two favorite

     people were Hinton & Hannah Priester, an elderly

     couple who worked for my parents and grandparents. They

     were almost like another set of grandparents to us children.   

     The intriguing thing about Hinton was he had a peg leg....

     there was a wooden peg from the knee down, but that didn't

     hamper his ability to do whatever there was to be done.

     He could keep up with any one. 

     We moved away when I was only 5, but still got to see them

     when we'd go back to visit grandpas. When I was 15 we

     moved to Costa Rica for 3 1/2 yrs and that's the last I

     remember seeing Hinton & Hannah.

     If I remember correctly, they both passed away during that time. 

     May God give them extra jewels in their crowns for their

     faithful services those many years. (They both loved the Lord

     and lived for Him.)

     So long... see y'all later. ck

     "A right attitude toward others will help keep God's truth in 

     our head and His love in our heart."

  • Ignorant Me hasn't a clue who the Falcons are...:)) I just needed someone Black to help stress my point :)

  • RYC: How interesting!! My dad is actually the only one of the Helmuth children that hasn't been to Costa Rica. The others have all either lived there or visited. I'd like to go sometime w/ my husband...Jake's oldest children are my age.....Lorraine actually has her own xanga site, but doesn't post ilcountrywoman , if you want to message her. Yeah, it's a small world!

  • Thanks for your comment! I want to call her today again....my sis said she had a rough night again eve b4 last. Lorraine and her family have been going to FL every Christmas for the last maybe 20yrs and that is where my family lives, so we see them oftener than the rest of the Helmuths and us girls always have a hoot and a holler w/ her!!...and w/ the rest of the aunts and uncles, too, whenever we see them. So yeah, I can picture if you were w/ my aunts as a teenager, you probably laughed alot! I always thot Lorraine was the most hilarious of all her sisters. ha!

  • RYC ~ Yes Roy would be Sam Hackman's grandson.  Jim Hackman's son.

  • Thanks for the comments, No David's girls do not have xanga sites. My sister Joanna is the only other one in my family who does, I'm working on that though:)
