when you were young did you need someone to follow as well.

you've got a few years left in you.

try being a leader rather than a follower.]]>Dec 16th 2008 6:36PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/Dec 16th 2008 6:28PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/But he is still the professional he always was and is going on to more interesting things than his age hardly permits! Blogging is almost inconceivable to a man his age! Heck! Computers are!
Good for him! I'm proud of him!!

My husband is 75 and is still not able to blog; although he did take typing, late in life! I commend people those ages, to do any of the computer things! It wasn't even a house hold word when I was young; let alone my husband and Kirk Douglas!! Good for them, going on with new things!]]>Dec 16th 2008 9:43PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/
If it were not for slavery, most black Americans would not exist, as their ancestors would have been killed by the enemy during tribal warfare.

Slavery is an evil thing, but did make famous people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Malcom X able to be born and live in the US.
I guess that was not a good example, but think about it.

Why should my family help pay reperations for people that held slaves? We did not arrive here in the US until 1917. Unfaior to both sides.

Homie, you are alive, GET OVER IT!]]>Dec 17th 2008 6:44PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/Dec 17th 2008 8:30AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/Dec 17th 2008 11:48AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/How far back should we go? I don't apologize for anyone else, how can I? I can only apologize for my own actions....
I think he means well but aren't we, in many ways, overdoing it on apologies to descendants of slaves now? I mean, we bend over backwards to be so "correct" that it is all un-natural.

Black men were given the vote after the Civil War. Black and white women had to wait another 50 years for that!
Until relatively recently women had to give up their children if they wanted a divorce and then there was a stigma to being a divorcee!
Well into the 20th century women were expected to be virgins when they married, while men were expected to "sow their wild oats!" Women had defer to their husbands on everything (the marriage vows used to include the word OBEY), ignore his philandering, give up their names (married women are STILL referred to as Mrs His Name), maintain the home, and raise the kids without help.
Certainly things are better now because women insisted on changes, but will WE ever get an apology? I'm not holding my breath!!!]]>Dec 17th 2008 11:22AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/no race can bear the burden of their ancestors forever. Looking at the new president has shown that every human being should be thankful that we are trying to move forward.]]>Dec 17th 2008 10:54AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/
Regardless, of whether or not Africans sold their own into slavery. That didn't mean it should have been justified to take advantage of it. It was the descendents that suffered years after slavery supposedly ended. It's not about whether you personally did anything to those descendents. If someone in my family ever killed another. I would feel compelled to apologize to their family, even if it wasn't I that did it. I would do it because of the pain that it brought to a family, that I could never imagine the repercussions down the road. This is a moral issue. This isn't about being politically correct. If you want this issue to die. Then bury it. You can't do that by not acknowledging the dead body of slavery, then asking why people are concerned and can't get past the stench of it!]]>Dec 17th 2008 11:19AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/Dec 18th 2008 9:32AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/Dec 17th 2008 9:15AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/Dec 17th 2008 12:23PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/Dec 17th 2008 9:17AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/Dec 17th 2008 9:39AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/16/at-92-kirk-douglas-is-oldest-celebrity-blogger/
