President linked to first US slave

Remember a boat called the Ark? We're all related one way or another.

A similar thought had occurred to me. Though, I was thinking a little further back in history.

[Wolvee]

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!



NOAH, I want you to build me an Arch.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I've traced his ancestory back to the first slime that gathered on the edge of a pond. I can't seem to trace my own back further than Adam.

[zerodown1]

I thought Adam was the first slave.

Since this is Virginia, this might be more appropriate.

Carry me back to old Virginny.
There's where the cotton and corn and taters grow.
There's where the birds warble sweet in the spring-time.
There's where this old darkey's heart am long'd to go.

There's where I labored so hard for old Massa,
Day after day in the field of yellow corn;
No place on earth do I love more sincerely
Than old Virginny, the state where I was born.

Carry me back to old Virginny.
There's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow;
There's where the birds warble sweet in the spring-time.
There's where this old darkey's heart am long'd to go.

Carry me back to old Virginny,
There let me live till I wither and decay.
Long by the old Dismal Swamp have I wandered,
There's where this old darkey's life will pass away.

Massa and Missis have long since gone before me,
Soon we will meet on that bright and golden shore.
There we'll be happy and free from all sorrow,
There's where we'll meet and we'll never part no more.

Carry me back to old Virginny.
There's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow;
There's where the birds warble sweet in the spring-time.
There's where this old darkey's heart am long'd to go.

God I love this state.

You do realize, don't you, that this used to be the official state song?

I remember having to memorize it in grade school and sing it in music class. I'd forgotten most of it.

[OakRidgeStars]

I remember it well, but I have to admit that I like the new state song better.

[VBshooter]

How friggin stupid does one have to be to believe that garbage,,Never mind,,I just thought of the usual Obama fan and answered my own question....SOB has Super Powers far beyond those of mortal men if you listen to the yoinks..,,,,Da ta da,,,.

I think that new song SUCKS. JMO

[OakRidgeStars]

I'm a long time fan of Robbin Thompson, so that might have something to do with it.

[TheGodfather]

We'd be much better off with a song like Kazakhstan's National Anthem.
