Turks are not Arabs or Mongols.

In my previous posts, I have written about Turkey and its history. The following is a 6 minutes video I would like to share with you. It will help to know the Turks better.

Turks are often mistaken for Middle Eastern and Arab; these two groups have nothing in common but Islam. Otherwise, they couldn't be more different. The Turks ethnically range from Caucasian to Asian to Black. Yes, there are black Turks.
One thing you will not learn in your classroom is the 6 Turkic Empire spending over 2000 years.

This video is just a quick answer to the question, "Who are the Turks" it is now up to you to find out more.

This was a most informative video. The geo-political global landscape has changed dramatically and there are too few who understand the history and what lead to these changes. With even more global changes on the horizon, it is important that we stay informed. This video was enormously helpful in that regard.

2012 Mayan Calendar 'Doomsday' Date Might Be Wrong

This article should get some of us more rational regarding the big hype about 2012, Planet X, and Doomsday... being reasonable is the hardest thing to do when overcome with extreme feelings of fear, despair, or even rapture. So open your mind to the idea that it could all be a spook, and we will all laugh about it on December 22, 2012. Otherwise, would you want to be the one to clean up the mess that Doomsday will leave behind? Would you want to survive Doomsday? Leave your comment: The Mayans Never Predicted the Doomsday Before continuing, it's worth emphasizing that this mesoamerican calendar (used by several cultures -- including the Maya -- in Central and South America before European colonization) does not predict an apocalypse. It never did, despite what the movie "2012" told us . The Mayan civilization existed from 250-900 A.D. in the current geographical location of southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, and some of Honduras. Archaeologists...

Martin Luther King and equal rights, what have we done since?

Would you have the courage to enter a segregated dinner, sit at the counter, and order? Would you volunteer to be a freedom rider and travel to the South to test the new laws and face angry mobs? Would you march and be ready to die facing an open bigot City Hall and police department? What have we done with the rights handed to us? Would you die for your beliefs like 37 -years-old NAACP field secretary Medgar Evers , murdered outside his Mississippi home, or like the 3 young students ( James E. Chaney, 21; Andrew Goodman, 21; and Michael Schwerner , 24 ) who had been working to register black voters in Mississippi . We are under the impression that slavery and segregation have been abolished. Is it? Today's Urban Cities are the new social and economic face of segregation. It is another way to separate those who have from those who have not. The new slavery is the hopelessness of the urban youth, the separation between poor urban public education and everywhere else.
