ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
Although I’ve heard of Jesse Jackson, I don’t know much about him. You made a good point about money and fame dragging a man down.
He sort of joined forces with Al Sharpton. I have never been impressed with Al Sharpton in any positive way. I guess that is when I began losing respect for Jessie Jackson.
Thank you for sharing this. From a distance folk like Jessie Jackson only appeared as Role examples for change. He was admired here and young coloured children took note. They aspired to be better citizens husbands and fathers. The Jessie we sometimes read about today is NOT THE same. Something has influenced his ability to lead the young in a God honouring way. THE VICTIM mantra is being fuelled by the political and ungodly arm of BLack Lives Matter.
We seem to have the same opinion regarding the influence of Jessie Jackson. I don’t know why he threw in with Al Sharpton. He would have been better off to have followed MLK’s influence.

SOMETHING strange happened. Thank you for your blog Oneta, The screen started vibrating and shaking then it disappeared, I came back to check and see my comment has appeared twice. I Can’t fix it. sorry. It was so strange It FELT like your site was under fire like in a battle.
Strange. I see nothing suspicious. Glad you comment came through even if it is double. Beats not getting it. 😀
Wow, you were a Democrat once! Blasphemy 😀. Did your hero follow in your footsteps or you followed him to the Republican party?
Not blogging that much recently. Between CNN and FOX, not much time for blogging 😀. At least I am staying home.
Hope to be back soon. Stay home and stay safe. Take care.
Never too late to learn. I’m in most of the time. This week I’ve had to be because of hip problems. I don’t know what the problem is, but I hurt.
Sorry to hear about your hip pain. Hope it is just transient and you will be well soon.
Take care and stay safe.
I did learn and that’s why try to stay away from politics, fake news and lies😀
I was surprised to read that Jesse Jackson was “pro-fathers” back then. You’re right, it’s a shame he changed his message.
(The other day my husband saw a man standing next to a sign that said “Black Dads Matter.” So there are still SOME dads who recognize their importance.)
Ooo. I love that sign. Taking responsibility rather than the blame game. There are some good fathers of all colors still but they don’t get much recognition. Women are also to blame for making men feel they don’t matter. I Am Woman.
