Very true Dr. It's not all about attention spans but I have to believe that it has something to do with it after a while. As we mature, we should question things. That's why we have the hypothesis in science. Other cultures don't tell us that we don't exist, they often belittle us. That leaves it up to the older generations to open their mouths to their children. Otherwise it becomes what some call a "generational curse" meaning that we are stuck without knowing how to get ourselves out. They can be broken. Yes filmmakers need to make money but we don't NEED to be rich. However, it's great to be paid doing what you love. How many teachers would teach if they had to give away money instead of make it? How many engineers? How many doctors or writers? People have to survive. The question should be where is that money going? I appreciate your response.

Hi, Doc. Please, to back to the Marriage and the Black Family (or Community?) blog when you have a chance. Your words resonnated with me.

Interesting, sounds like more of a certian culture of people have access to more scientific information than others. Dr. Hines, could it be by design? Or does it once again fall into the category of quality education, along with what one is exposed to and encouraged and supported to do?

Feel free to encourage your freshman to join this website. I will contunue to write articles that will help them to succeed. It is difficult for new students to understand that their high school study habits won't work in college.

thanks Dr. I am always trying to remember Plessey as I know that it caused the Seprate is Equal on the train issue.but I could not remember the name of this law. Now I can go look it up to find out just how long it took us to get that law over turned. For me things like this are important to our young people who wrongly believe that our fignt for equality began in the 60s. Much lov and many thanks. And, keep my true, honest in my comments. I can not go against false history if I myself am doing the same thing now can I??(smile)thanks

Hey Dr. Maxwell, where did you get the artistic image you are using and how do you get it to move? It's pretty cool.

I can not tell you how important keeping up with what you are doing on the 'my friends' up dates.I can not wait to pass on the information about William Moss to all of my family and friends from the east coast to the west coast. A lot of them do not do internet social chats as I do now because I accidently found this site a little over a week ago. Why do you not do a blob on this ..get others to do the sme until even Bill O'Reilly is forced to find this out.Well admit they know this site is a part of reality. As for me, I have a valide escuse for now telling this to O'Reilly. Thi s man go so tired of me bugging him , my computer's niet work agents and all of the fire walls put up by my compuuter programer show warnings in big bold red letters of the haem to my computer if I try to gain any farther enterance to his Fox's network sites....but I still call him to report what Keith Olberman is saying about him....I do not even watch O'rielly to monitor him any more. I just watch what Olbermann has to show about him(smile) and my thanks and respect for the information you offer for me.

This was some years back, but do you know about the alcohol that the City of Oakland Ca. had to get together and stop it's sell in liquor stores there because it had been created to effect the African-American? I heard one of my African-American study professor make this coment to our class in one on the Black family. Crack has caused the Black man to do something that slavery could not accomplish. It has the Black male turning against/on his own mother!!!
