This is an awesome story that should be more widely published, not just during BHMonth but every month. God bless Emeagwali. God Bless the awesome minds that are being groomed in Africa. Maybe if it is more widely known some of that can rub off on some of us AA's here. I love the NET!

Crash7teen - I pray that my kids won't have you as their history teacher. Your knowlege of history is distorted and revisionist to say the least. Next you'll be telling us of the great albiet unknown contributions the KKK has made to the US

crash7teen - That last line of your statement was very insulting, but I bet you wouldn't dare say it to you African American co-workers! You should walk in our shoes for a week and see how 'you people' treat us without even knowing anything about us. Actually Black History needs to be taught in our schools for all nationalities and maybe then 'you people' would understand us and give us the respect we deserve.

One of the problems,which we have as a people, lack of contact with the past. We have a rich past ; a past that should be explored and which our young and upcoming can use to make us a better people. Today,it was estimated that the Black population ,in the year 2050,will be the same 13 percent.The Hispanic will have gone to 27 percent.The Asian 9 percent and the White decline to 47 percent. Also, the mention of a once popular basketball player who filed for bankruptcy; the same player who turned down a 21 million contract with the words,i have a family to feed. Sports cannot be the answer. Ashe looked at sports as not the directon for the Black man in ths country. Education is the answer.

i'TS AMAZING HOW SOME PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY SOMEONE OF JOHNSONS WEALTH, FINDS IT NECESSARY TO INGRATIATE HIMSELF( HOP ON THE WAGON) OF WHAT HE THINKS IS INVEVITABLE, CLINTONS ELECTION TO THE PRESIDENCY,AND BY DOING SO SLANDERS WHAT HE BELIEVES TO BE A LOST CAUSE(BLACK MAN BECOMING PRESIDENT) FOR THE SAKE OF WHAT?
MORE MONEY.
PLEASE , KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF,WHEN DID YOU BECOME THE FOREMOST AUTHORITY ON WHATS' GOING ON IN THE HOOD.
WISDOM DOESN'T COME WITH WEALTH, FIND YOURSELF SOMETHING TO DO, . OTHER THAN MAKING A FOOL OF YOURSELF. PUBLIC SPEAKING ISN'T YOUR STRONG SUIT.
