Famous for her purrrrrrr, Eartha Kitt was the depiction of classic elegance. A product of a mixed relationship, Ms Kitt experienced hardship and betrayal when her black mother gave her to a neighbor and subsequently an aunt when her stepfather wouldn't accept her. Because of her heritage, Ms. Kitt endured many prejudices. And created controversy by calling first lady- Lady Bird Johnson on the carpet regarding the plight of the youth and their fear of being drafted to fight in the Vietnam War...which in turn, resulted in her being blacklisted. Eartha Kitt passed away on December 25, 2008 of colon cancer. source

Please know...threats of hell and bible scriptures are futile-look at your church if you don't believe me! Get your 'body of christ' in order and then come talk to me.
Yours in Reason, Bria :)
