Houston (i/ˈhjuːstən/HYOO-stən) is the most populous city in Texas and the fourth most populous city in the United States. With a census-estimated 2014 population of 2.239 million people, within a land area of 599.6 square miles (1,553km2), it also is the largest city in the Southern United States, as well as the seat of HarrisCounty. It is the principal city of Houston–TheWoodlands–SugarLand, which is the fifth most populated metropolitan area in the United States.
Houston was founded in 1836 on land near the banks of Buffalo Bayou (now known as Allen's Landing) and incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837. The city was named after former General Sam Houston, who was president of the Republic of Texas and had commanded and won at the Battle of San Jacinto25 miles (40km) east of where the city was established. The burgeoning port and railroad industry, combined with oil discovery in 1901, has induced continual surges in the city's population. In the mid-twentieth century, Houston became the home of the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions—and NASA's Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Center is located.
Houston is an Amtrak intercity train station in Houston
History
The present Houston station, which opened on October 26, 1959, was built by the Southern Pacific Railroad to replace Grand Central Station, which was just east of the present station. That station operated from September 1, 1934 until the property was sold to the U.S. Government in 1959 to become the site of the Houston main post office. Grand Central Station had replaced the original Houston & Texas Central depot of 1886. When Amtrak was created it was one of two stations in Houston that served Amtrak trains, the other being Union Station, now part of Minute Maid Park. All Amtrak trains moved to Southern Pacific Station by the end of July 1974, and all trains were canceled or rerouted out of Houston except the Sunset Limited. This station continued to be owned and operated by the Southern Pacific Railroad after the creation of Amtrak, and has been owned and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad since the merger of Southern Pacific and Union Pacific.
"Houston (Means I'm One Day Closer to You)" is a song written by Larry Gatlin and recorded by American country music group Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers Band. It was released in September 1983 as the first single from the album "Greatest Hits Vol. II" then included to first track of "Not Guilty" (1984). "Houston (Means I'm One Day Closer to You)" was the group's third and last number one on the country chart. The single went to number one for two weeks and spent a total of fifteen weeks on the country chart.

Lyrics:
"Didn't Give A Damn"
Yeah, Its all good, Im doing better without you (nooo)
Anyway, But its funny, we look just alike (just like you)
Everyday that i look in the mirror
A reflection of someone I dont remember
But I heard that he was something special
To someone that I hold so dear to me (momma)
(She said he was a singer) Oh he could sing yeeaah
But he used it to abuse a lot of women
Now your seed was a he and that seed is now me
And I love my son (forever) and my son loves me (me)
And I know that its painful but I wish you could see
[Chorus]
That a man is what I am, Tho you didnt give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that Im just like ya
So Im praying everyday that God will change my ways

Steve Harvey: “I don’t give a damn about slavery”
I'm not sure why comedian Steve Harvey would say "I don't give a damn about slavery." I saw the clip and my jaws dropped to the floor, as Steve, in the midst of comic relief for a white woman on the street, felt compelled to make one of the most hurtful and disappointing remarks that any black man could ever make during Black History Month.
Personally, I want to believe that Steve would take those remarks back if he could. I also want to believe that he will apologize for what he said. But something tells me that Steve didn't become America's favorite black man by apologizing to the black community for anything he might have said to offend us.
My thoughts on this topic are pretty simple. First, black men should never endorse ignorance as a way to avoid uncomfortable conversations....

Was never there for me (no no)
How could you betray me
Broke up the family tree
What about me

Now I hear that you wanna see me
But I cant let it go not that easy
See a man only knows what he feels
And I feel that I cant trust you
Keep it real, I dont need you
And I cant think that you would think I would ever be like you
Cause its sad that youre my dad

You was never there
Probably didnt care
That you had a son
While you on the run
Never thought that twice of being in my life
Cause you broke a happy home
Why you leaving us alone
Never gave a damn to find out who I am
Its to late for you to communicate
You was never there
Probably didnt care
That you had a son
While you on the run

When you left her on her own to raise me on her all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that Im just like ya
So Im praying everyday that God will change my ways
Dont make me, dont make me, dont make me
Turn out like him
Ohhhhh, never gonna be like you
Never gonna walk, talk like you noo

My thoughts on this topic are pretty simple. First, black men should never endorse ignorance as a way to avoid uncomfortable conversations. One of the ways blacks are kept under the grip of oppression is by keeping us ignorant and disinterested in knowing our history. Secondly, black celebrities must be held accountable for the things they say and do, no matter who they are. Many (actually most) of them are propped up by the white power structure, and there are many cases in which their messages are used to keep black people under control.
I hope Steve is willing to admit that he made a mistake. This is quite sad.

Lyrics:
"Didn't Give A Damn"
Yeah, Its all good, Im doing better without you (nooo)
Anyway, But its funny, we look just alike (just like you)
Everyday that i look in the mirror
A reflection of someone I dont remember
But I heard that he was something special
To someone that I hold so dear to me (momma)
(She said he was a singer) Oh he could sing yeeaah
But he used it to abuse a lot of women
Now your seed was a he and that seed is now me
And I love my son (forever) and my son loves me (me)
And I know that its painful but I wish you could see
[Chorus]
That a man is what I am, Tho you didnt give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that Im just like ya
So Im praying everyday that God will change my ways
Cause a man is what I am, Tho you didnt give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that Im just like ya
So Im praying everyday that God will change my ways
[Bridge]
Was never there for me (no no)
How could you betray me
Broke up the family tree
What about me
What about me
Now I hear that you wanna see me
But I cant let it go not that easy
See a man only knows what he feels
And I feel that I cant trust you
Keep it real, I dont need you
And I cant think that you would think I would ever be like you
Cause its sad that youre my dad
And I dont know you
Even when I see you
And to my son, I could never leave you
[Chorus]
That a man is what I am, Tho you didnt give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that Im just like ya
So Im praying everyday that God will change my ways
Cause a man is what I am, Tho you didnt give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that Im just like ya
So Im praying everyday that God will change my ways
[Breakdown]
You was never there
Probably didnt care
That you had a son
While you on the run
Never thought that twice of being in my life
Cause you broke a happy home
Why you leaving us alone
Never gave a damn to find out who I am
Its to late for you to communicate
You was never there
Probably didnt care
That you had a son
While you on the run
[Chorus]
That a man is what I am, Tho you didnt give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me on her all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that Im just like ya
So Im praying everyday that God will change my ways
Cause a man is what I am, Tho you didnt give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me on her all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that Im just like ya
So Im praying everyday that God will change my ways
Dont make me, dont make me, dont make me
Turn out like him
Ohhhhh, never gonna be like you
Never gonna walk, talk like you noo
[Lyrics Houston - Didn't Give a Damn Interlude]
Yeah, Its all good, I'm doing better without you (nooo)
Anyway, But its funny, we look just alike (just like you)
Verse 1:
Everyday that I look in the mirror
A reflection of someone I don't remember
But I heard that he was something special
To someone that I hold so dear to me (momma)
(She said he was a singer) Oh he could sing yeeaah
But he used it to abuse a lot of women
Now your seed was a he and that seed is now me
And I love my son (forever) and my son loves me (me)
And I know that its painful but I wish you could see
Chorus:
That a man is what I am, Tho you didn't give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya
So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways
Cause a man is what I am, Tho you didn't give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya
So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways
Bridge:
Was never there for me (no no)
How could you betray me

Verse 2:
Now I hear that you wanna see me

Lyrics:
Oh, killing me softly and I'm still fallin'
Still the one I need, I will always be with you
Oh, you got me all gone, don't ever let me go
Say it real loud if you fly
If you leave me you're out of your mind
My baby is a 10
We dressing to the 9
He pick me up we 8
Make me feel so lucky 7
He kiss me in his 6
We be making love in 5
Still the one I do this 4
I'm trying to make a 3
From that 2
He still the 1

I'm not sure why comedian Steve Harvey would say "I don't give a damn about slavery." I saw the clip and my jaws dropped to the floor, as Steve, in the midst of comic relief for a white woman on the street, felt compelled to make one of the most hurtful and disappointing remarks that any black man could ever make during Black History Month.
Personally, I want to believe that Steve would take those remarks back if he could. I also want to believe that he will apologize for what he said. But something tells me that Steve didn't become America's favorite black man by apologizing to the black community for anything he might have said to offend us.
My thoughts on this topic are pretty simple. First, black men should never endorse ignorance as a way to avoid uncomfortable conversations. One of the ways blacks are kept under the grip of oppression is by keeping us ignorant and disinterested in knowing our history. Secondly, black celebrities must be held accountable for the things they say and do, no matter who they are. Many (actually most) of them are propped up by the white power structure, and there are many cases in which their messages are used to keep black people under control.
I hope Steve is willing to admit that he made a mistake. This is quite sad.
Houston (i/ˈhjuːstən/HYOO-stən) is the most populous city in Texas and the fourth most populous city in the United States. With a census-estimated 2014 population of 2.239 million people, within a land area of 599.6 square miles (1,553km2), it also is the largest city in the Southern United States, as well as the seat of HarrisCounty. It is the principal city of Houston–TheWoodlands–SugarLand, which is the fifth most populated metropolitan area in the United States.
Houston was founded in 1836 on land near the banks of Buffalo Bayou (now known as Allen's Landing) and incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837. The city was named after former General Sam Houston, who was president of the Republic of Texas and had commanded and won at the Battle of San Jacinto25 miles (40km) east of where the city was established. The burgeoning port and railroad industry, combined with oil discovery in 1901, has induced continual surges in the city's population. In the mid-twentieth century, Houston became the home of the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions—and NASA's Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Center is located.
