Last week I made a video at the U of MN on Diversity: Our journey together: women's voices on race, class and gender. I am mixed blood, and I am raising a daughter who could pass. I never had the opportunity to attempt to pass, I am Native, French Canadian, Black and possibly Latina- I am currently searching for my father for ethnic proof. Anyway, I found your article on passing, and I remembered how I so strongly stated in the dialogue of my video that passing had a way of hurting me in side. I don't want my daughter to try passing, and I always want her to be proud of everything that she is. I have to admit that I am selfish in the wish to a degree. I don't want her to ever be ashamed of how ethnic her mother looks. I surprise her friends, and her teachers and I listen to them trying hard not to react. I would love to engage in dialogue about passing, from a parents point of view, maybe. 

This is a wonderful web site! Thank you for bringing us access to this important material. I think that frank and complicated discussion is needed around the issue of race in America. I am so glad you provide an opportunity for some of it. Peace, Felicitas 

I am looking for information on racism. I think there might be some going on at my company although they seem totally unaware of it. I would also like information on any diversity training that is offered for companies on racism. 

I am a young, white middle-school teacher currently working toward becoming an active anti-racist in all areas of my life. I'm teaching a unit on Prejudice and Racism to my 7th graders and have found this site to be very useful. I'm planning on checking in frequently and passing the address along to a few friends. Thanks a bunch! 

This is the first time that I've done this; for I'm new at the computer and the web. I like what you have done, and can identify with some of your experiences. 

I like this web page. The reason I went on this web page was because i am doing a speech on r racism and how it needs to stop. 

I just wanted to say how much I identified with your letter on single parenting. I am a newly divorced, 23 year old single parent. I thank God every day that I had the strength to have my daughter instead of have an abortion as a sophomore away at college. I am now finishing my first year of graduate school in Public Affairs and think I do a great job as a mom. I too encourage politicians to support single moms rather than denounce us. 

Latinos are better than anyone else! 

Thank You. Your current page on Pace v Alabama answered a question that I have wondered about since I found out about this ruling last year during my family history. Keep up the good work. Please feel free to send me any information that you may come across with regard to Tony Pace, this case, or his family. I am still trying to determine if I am a descendent of his. 

HEY!!! great page....i am hoping to have one up myself soon...check out the CDS page...they are a polical punk band from Buckfield Maine and they are really good...we are looking to get a bit bigger here in Maine...we would also like to know more about what other ARA groups are doing...so please...let me know!!!!! PEACE!!! Anna and Tony 

I was disgusted by a recent article of yours entitled," On Obsessions or When Being Black is Not Enough." I felt it was venemous towards the Mixed Race community. As a minority, you should understand the fight your mixed race brothers and sisters have. No one has the right to tell anyone who they should or should not be. That is the problem in the black community, starting back from slavery, in which slave masters placed their mixed offspring into the home as house slaves, and created hatred between mixed and monoracial blacks. There is a movement among mixed people in order for the chains of the one-drop rule to be broken. We have a right to be proud of our mixtures, including black, but we can be as proud of our white or asian or hispanic parents, as we are of our black parents! I am a multiracial mother of a 3/4 white daughter (blond hair, blue eyes, white skin), who is classified as white on her birth certificate. She has that right, just as I do to say what I am and not be ashamed of any part of my heritage! We are not, in your words, foolish children. We do have life experience that tells us to be proud of who we are and not let anyone tell us who or what to be, including you! Racism from blacks and whites have created this! But, more than whites, blacks should be ashamed of being racist toward their mixed brothers and sisters! They know better! I take your statement, "Whatever our ancestry..we should be proud to claim being black," and I say, "Whatever our ancestry..we should be proud of who we are! We are Multi and Bi-Racial Americans and Very Proud Of It! We should look into the faces of our parents who gave us life or our children, and be proud of every drop that runs through their veins and not select one drop (black) and forget about the rest. Because, that is throwing away our parents, our children. That is throwing away our ancestry! Whatever our ancestry has made us who and what we are. And I am Proud to Be Mixed in this nation!

Great website, very VERY INFORMATIONAL 

I am white and I am young but I want everybody to be free from Hate 

I browsed your web site and was very impressed by what I saw. Also, I will be entering law school in the fall of 99' and I was wondering if you could recommend any books that would prepare me for law school/professors/law in general. I suppose I'm a little worried as to what to expect. I have heard horror stories about the teaching styles (Socratic method) and exams. My undergrad major was in the sciences and I minored in English. I think this prepared me to think analyticaly but I've never even opened a law journal or book. I would be open to any suggestions that you may have. Thanks for making such a great website!!! 

Dear Madam, It is a great privilege to go through your website. I have not had a lot of teaching about African American history. I went to high school in Nigeria and never took a class in history. When I returned to the United States to continue my education, I discovered a need to learn about African Americans in this country. I especially enjoyed your educational items about the legal system in this country. I really want to be a lawyer and your legal page gave me ample information in regards to law. As far as God and spirituality is concerned, I am a devout christian and your quote on 1 Corinthians 13 was very uplifting to me. I have also reminded myself after reading your poems about African American women that I must be proud of who I am as a woman and as a child of God. Thank you so much for what you have done and may the Good Shephard direct you in all endeavors of your life. 

i contemplating taking the TN bar exam again. I passed the multistate with a raw score of 135, but needed two more correct essays to pass. this is terribly frustrating. 

I like this web page! I needed to find a web page on health for this class and I wanted something on Black health. Also, about a couple of weeks ago, a Black student here at Oregon State University was assaulted by a white fraternity on campus. The Black student was walking by the frat and two drunk white males began calling him racial names from a window and began throwing lit firecrackers at him. They came outside to confront the Black male and luckily two guys who were friends of the Black male drove up and ended the fight. This is a campus of over 15,000 students and only 140 Black students. It is difficult dealing with the everyday struggles of racism. Unfortunately we have to and nothing ever gets done about it. The police refused to file any charges against the fraternity or the two white students. Even though the two students were drunk and under-age (they were both freshman) the police still refused to do anything. Even though they threw lit firecrackers out of the window of a frat, the police still refused to do anything. Even though they harassed a student, the police still refused to do anything. All because the victim was Black. Kelva~ 

you for providing a refreshingly different viewpoint than that which we in law school are so
often exposed to on a daily basis. If there is one point of contention I would make, it is that many of problems which appear to be racial in nature are actually th result of the insidious class bias that is so prevelant among the practioners of the legal profession. Sadly, it is the 23 year old whose family is but a generation or two removed from the backwoods or thetrailer park who is among the most ardent advocate of "pulling up the ladder". Once again, thanks for your committment, and good luck in the future... 

I am doing a final term paper on interracial adoption and I am the mother of a son who is biracial. It was very informative reading your paper and I hope to use some of your thoughts and feelings in my paper. I also realize the need that my son has to identify with his black heritage and I am trying to open doors so he will have positive role models to identify with as he grows. Thank you for your honesty .

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON HEALTH,
SAFETY, OR FOR HISPANICS

This is truly awe inspiring. Keep up the good work my good men and women! 

THE ONLY THING I SEE ON YOUR SITE IS RACISM TOWARD EUROPEAN AMERICANS. ONE SIDED LIES THAT CAUSE PEOPLE TO HATE! MABEY YOU ARE THE TRUE RASIST?! 

The idea of a racist society here in America still today is archaic in nature and destructive to us all. You don't have to be off-white to know that. My outrage with individuals who still carry and spread this fear and hatred around has reached a crescendo and has now as a result placed my own life in turmoil. I now find myself in position where the difference between right and wrong have overshadowed my life, making the decision on how much of my life is worth gambling for the sake of my name difficult. I am on a quest for peace for both myself and for those around me and need to make a decision that will affect my wife and my family. I think that a person can be pushed only so far before they will fight back. I found myself in that position and now must gamble a year of my life to defend my actions or accept the consequence that has already been decided for me by one man. 

Vernellia, I am a former student of yours, UDSL class of '93. You taught me Torts in my first year. I have stopped at your website a couple of times, there is so much interesting information here. I will come back again when I have more time to read. I am particularly interested in the spiritual matters you write about. I am seeking a greater spirituality in my life now, in large part due to my interest in, and learning about the life of, John Coltrane. Whenever I have the opportunity to visit San Francisco, I visit the Church of Saint John Coltrane, an African Orthodox Church. Please check out their website: http://www.saintjohncoltrane.org/ Perhaps you could provide a link from your site. I am also learning about a (relatively) new faith called the Baha'i Faith and it's foundational principle of Unity. The Baha'i Faith professes the oneness of humanity and is very active in promoting improved race relations. I have met many wonderful and diverse people in the local Baha'i community and imensely enjoy their company. Thanks for providing such a rich and colorful website, I plan to return to learn much more. I would also welcome an exchange of e-mail with you on spiritual and race issues. Thanks, Scott 

While reading the different articals on your pages, I found that the information that you provide is very much needed especially in our communities. I can say that I personally have been affected by many of the rascist tactics played out by a hate group. Thanks for providing a guide for those of us who don't know much about the Law. 

May God bless you for your inspiration to others. I am a white man who found peace and love, and became born again in a Primitive Baptist Church, if you ever come to Tampa please be sure to visit Greater Mt Moriah PB Church at 1225 N. Nebraska Avenue Tampa 33605. You will be made truly welcome. 

NO MATTER WHAT COLOR YOU ARE STILL MY BROTHER 

good work, more people in the world should pay attension to this. 

Conel Playfair, racist, Lagos, Nigeria 

I read an instructive, albeit brief, article in the most recent "Hispanic" magazine (today is 2 May 1999) about the under-representation of Hispanics in the armed forces, except for being clustered in the lower ranks. The source was a report from the National Council of La Raza, which I surfed my way to via the Net. I then E-mailed NCLR & the article's authors with the available link, and told them about some of the discriminatory treatment I have both witnessed and personally experienced as a US Army officer--indicative of part of the reason that Hispanics don't rise in the military, despite such valued attributes as foreign language skills, knowledge of foreign cultures and proven courage on the battlefield. I suggested that NCLR, perhaps in conjunction with MALDEF, explore researching this in more depth, and perhaps seek action, whether through litigation or other means, to redress current and past grievances along these lines, as well as to do whatever is possible to ensure that future military command climates don't repeat this mode of performance. I'd be interested in swapping stories with any other Hispanic veterans out there, and perhaps encouraging you to pass your stories about discrimination in the armed services on to NCLR & other agencies as I have done, and seeking to address some of these injustices and right some of these wrongs. 

Comments: Thank you for the information and links from this page. I am researching gender bias in employment. I have not declared my major but I have been studying law courses with the goal of becoming a lawyer and furthermore a judge. 

Comments: What a wonderful site! I am a graduate student pursuing my Masters in Public Health. My interest is particularly Black women's health. Not only have I bookmarked this site but will share it with others. I noticed the comment from Thomas L. Yakopin earlier this month. He may know medicine but it is obvious that he has very little understanding of healthcare realities in the United States (and throughout the world). It's people of that mind that I have to battle on a daily basis in my courses and eventually in my career. Thank you for your part in the struggle. 

Comments: I was being raced when I just moved to a new school. I was being raced because of my clothes, where I am from and a whole lot reasons. 

Comments: Nice page. I bookmarked it and will use it in the future. 

Comments: My great grandma's dierie was published about this and my grandma was also put in a camp. 

Comments: I needed this information for a speech so thanks! 

Comments: Thank you for suggesting your article; this is very helpful for those who are struggling with managed care programs. As the mother of a pediatrician and mother-in-law of a family practioner, I am also very concerned with the negative image doctors are receiving because of this issue. As my daughter has said many times, the insurance company executives are the only ones who are profiting by managed care. The consumers are still paying higher premiums and the doctors' reimbursements continue to decline each year; unfortunately, most consumers don't realize this. 

Comments: this page was really helpful when it came tome for me to do a project on racism. Racism is completely wrong!!! 

Comments: I WAS DOING A SCHOOL PROJECT ON RACISM IN AMERICA, SO I LOOKED UP YOUR SIGHT,I ENJOYED (IF THAT IS THE WORD) LEARNING MORE ABOUT RACISM AND HAVE NOW ENOUGH INFORMATIONTO DO MY PROJECT, THANK YOU! 

Comments: what does this have to do with the LAW umm you made me waist my time come here aight, so just get your act together aigth  l8s 

Comments: Your site is beautiful. Although we only categorize literary arts sites, I would love to put you on our links page. Hope you will come visit before we move... our visitors would love your content. Empress 

Comments: THIS SITE WAS HANDY FOR MY MAJOR ASSIGNMENT 

Comments: Iam doin a presentation on a probem in america and would like some info on racism if you could help please email me 

the way. Everyone (except for rednecks) already know that racism and predjudice are bad. The only people that don't know that they are racist are the people that still think that most whites are racist!!! 

Comments: AMERICA IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE RACE IS AN ISSUE. STOP USING RACISM AS A SCAPEGOAT FOR ALL YOUR PROBLEMS. WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY. EQUALITY HAS BEEN ACHIEVED. BUT YOU STUPID AMERICANS CAN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL IT'S BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM SO STOP BLAMING WHITES. By the way, just because I said that most whites aren't racist, doesn't make me racist, although it's a new concept here. My grilfriend is black. 

Comments: Great job! I was looking for info for a paper on racism and the law and you seemed to help me out a whole lot! Great page! 

Comments: Great page. Very informative. I hope this page can help teach people that racism and prejudice is just wrong. 

Comments: I need to know how Native Americans were classified on their birth certificate between 1929-1947. I am part native and i need to know for my own sanity. I was born in Georgia. Please help me!!!!! Thanks, Rockhead 

am glad to see your site--keep up the good work! 

Comments: Hey...cool web page! I am doing research on the Memominee Termination Act and your web page actually had information! Anyway...Keep cool -girlhuskie 

Comments: I think that this is a very helpful page and that should be promoted and very well advertised because the info is important. 

Comments: your page was a help to me while doin my persuasive essay on racism, although i basically just needed another reference. i would like to address a situation ive noticed lately...while it may not be exactly racism, often times some African-Americans, typically inmore poverty-stricken areas, seem to make rather ugly racial prejudices toward white humans, solely because of skin color. i dont mean to stereotype, but i find it odd that these offenders dont really understand the concept of racism, and enjoy causing conflict and fall back on the current state of racist america (white supremisists) as a means to further conflict...well, it just struck me as ironic... 

Comments: Hi, I'm doing an assignment on Racism, and I would like to do a comparison of the laws in the USA vs. those in South Africa, where racism has been a factor. Any information you have, would be greatly appreciated!! I am having troubles finding things about South Africa's government. I check my email all the time!! Thank you!! 

Comments: I am an African American small business owner. Therefore i am sensitive to the issues here at your website... I am currently seeking other minorities to join with me in an alliance to increase minority presence in the world of business, and provide jobs to minorities and immigrants alike...if you would like to join with me in this mission pleas feel free to email me with your suggestions...

Comments: I thoroughly enjoyed your essay and wish you continued success in all your efforts to bring light to the darkended subject of racial tension. 

Comments: Thank you for this site. Life on earth is a racial issue! The human race. We have to quit looking at who to blame for the problems and work together to solve the problems WE ALL face. A small handfull of bankers and government officials are trying to enslave us all. This will succeed as long as we are kept busy pointing our fingers to the past. It is time to look forward with a collective focus and realise the strangle hold that the power and greed of the money people have been using on the sovereign peoples to extinguish our freedom of liberty and property. This is accomplished by being responsible in present time and involved with our surroundings. Look to your Creator and believe in yourself and fellow man. GET INVOLVED in local government, no matter how corrupt, and make sure the decisions they are making for you and your offspring are for your benefit instead of theirs. This is not easy but essential to our survival as peoples. Thank you again for this forum. With Love Acuponi & Tuluaq 

Comments: To the person maintaining the Dayton Race & Racism site,
This is a terrific site I've had bookmarked for a little under a year now. I'd tried to send e-mails to the previous maintainer, but they always bounced back and now it seems your site has had a face-lift and staff change, yes?

Anyway, I'd very much appreciate an e-mail back to stewart@black-collegiate.com. as I've been wanting to request permission to repost some of the information you've compiled here for a commemoration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month on my site, Asian American Village. Further, I represent a larger network of minority specific magazines surrounding the Minorities'Job Bank, a diversity recruitment site published by Black Collegiate Services. We are working to establish more-or-less informal, mutually beneficial strategic partnerships with sympathetic websites, link trades, promotions trades, etc. We have a number of benefits to offer non-profit and academic partners (Asian American Village currently has @ 100 partners).

I hope to hear from you soon...and again, terrific site!

I have been writing a research paper on the Japanese-American Internment Camps of WWII and I found your site very useful, and wanted to thank you.  My hesis pertained to racism and how it led to the institution of these camps...being that the anti-Japanese prejudice was eminent in government, commercial industry and American society.  Thank you again for having such an informative site.  I might look into writing a revision of this paper later in college, as now I am only in 11th grade.  Take care. All You Need is Love,

Dear Vernellia,

This is a great site.  I am very interested.  My name is Ben and I am doing a  report on title 9 in my english class.  However I am only reporting on what  affects me.  I am a wrestler at West Springfied HS (Spingfield VA) and it is  very sad to watch so many universities drop their wrestling programs to meet  the quota of title9.  The only article that I really found that helped me was  the one by Laurie Tarkan, Unequal Opportunity; Title IX is Under Attack,  Women's Sports and Fitness, Sptember, 1995, at 25.  It is about how  Congressman Dennis Hastert, and Illinois Republican and former wrestling  coach, is concerned about the universities dropping mens swimming and  wrestling.  It has really helped me ...but i hoped I could get more of a  selection.  It is so hard to find material from my point of view.  Please  keep you eyes open for it.  Ill keep checking your site.  Thanks a lot. 

Dear Ms. Randall:

I stumbled on to your web site today and was amazed! First, thank you for the broad array of very useful information you provided. What most impressed me, however, was reading "your story" in the prologue of the Meyers-Briggs article. Thank you for taking the time to tell about your experience because there are folks out there--like me--who can both identify with it and benefit from your experience.

I am a 43 year old African American woman who is going to law school in the fall (University of Oregon). I am both exhilarated and terrified (in equal measure, most days). Like most folks, the idea of going to law school is a bit overwhelming for me and I really didn't know what to expect--until I read a few articles on your site.

So thank you for "keeping on," and know there's a sister in Oregon who you've helped quite a bit.

Thank you for your well written article. You have obviously put much thought and effort into this study. As a professional in the health care field I disagree with several issues you might want to consider.

1. Racism, as I understand it is a frame of reference a human being adopts which has as it's foundation or premise one's race or a special class or race of people. You seem very much opposed to racism yet very racist at the same time. In light of this definition aren't you a racist?

2. Health care is really a very simple choice made by an individual one person at a time regardless of race, socio-economic factors, etc. What one believes, how one behaves, diet, exercise, fresh water, minerals,
nutrients .... these are the things that determine health care. Interestingly enough most of these issues of life are free and no respector of persons.

3. Sickness/Disease management however is a different story. At any rate for a nominal monthly premium just about anyone can purchase an excellent Hospital-Surgical insurance plan that will pay 100% of all covered expenses at any Hospital and with any Doctor worldwide. Moreover in reading the specifics of the plan there are no special provisions or exclusions  for Whites, Blacks, Irish, German or Asians. It pays 100% for any race! 

Perhaps the real issue at hand is not equal access but special access. Respectfully, Thomas L. Yakopin

Editor's Response:
First, Thomas I am not sure why you call me a racist merely because I point out the discrimination and racism that exist  in the Health Care system.  Second, I don't know what kind of health care provider you are, but a person's health status is related to much more than the "simple choices" that person makes.  It is also related to, among other things, access to health care when a person needs it and appropriate treatment.  It is undisputed that minorities have less access to health care than whites AND even when they have access they are treated differently.  Finally, I am not sure what you call nominal monthly premium but even inexpensive insurance cost  anywhere from $150 to $300 per month and such insurance will not cover all necessary medical care.  What is the name of the company, the mailing address, and the telephone number for your so-call insurance? I am sure others would love to know about it. VRR

Thanks for your webpage. I am participating in a conference on Racist Images  and Indigenous People in Cleveland, OH  this weekend.  its being organized by  the Committee of 500 years of Dignity and Resistance.  A group that has been  working for the "People, Not Mascots" Campaign, working to end the promotion 
of racist images (particuarly Native Americans)  in sports teams,   Demonstration is planned for Monday, the opening day of the Cleveland Indians  season. 

We must eradicate prejudice of all kinds and educate the naive whites who don't recognize that racism still exists in this nation. Lets recognize that the constitution begins with "We the people,. . ." not we the blacks, we the whites, we the racists, or even we the downtrodden... WE THE PEOPLE.

I came across this web site while surfing the net, but I was truly amaze at the information in this site.

This website is an incredible resource for people to understand the basic and deeper issues relating to racism in our country. It is extremely helpful for me, as a student writing a paper on Asian Americans and affirmative action. Thank you!

My post just below failed to show hypertext links to the list of URLs of interracial marriage\multiracial person\trans-racial adoption Web-sites. Here they are written out: Asiaphile's Home Page, Association of Multi-Ethnic Americans (AMEA), Biracial World Domination, Hapa Issues Forum (HIF),  INTERracial , Interrace Haven,  Interracial Voice, Multiracial ActivistProject R.A.C.E., You Don't Look Japanese http://www.angelfire.com/or/biracial/

I am happy discovering your Web-site -- truly a splendid addition to the internet's most erudite discussions on these topics. Something seems to be missing. Your readers may enjoy knowing the U.S. Census reveals our rate of interracial marriages is more than doubling each decade since 1960. Data show currently an astounding 25-60 percent of American-born Asians, Hispanics, and Indians are marrying interracially with White people, almost 10 percent of all babies born of at least one Black parent now has a White parent, and all these trends are increasing. The U.S. Department of Management & Budget is responding by amending the Year 2000 census (next year), for the first time, to allow "Check all that apply," so the children of these racially mixed marriages and other (e.g., pre-Loving, 1967) multiracial people can be accurately counted. For more information on this fastest demographic trend here are a few URLs of interracial marriage\multiracial person\trans-racial adoption Web-sites: Asiaphile's Home Page Association of Multi-Ethnic Americans (AMEA) Biracial World Domination Hapa Issues Forum (HIF) INTERracial Interrace Haven Interracial Voice Multiracial Activist Project R.A.C.E.

There's a lot of info, but where can I find the pictures?

I really love your site. Very strong and real. Love to network with you and to have you in our magazine.

It is a very sad cituation when after hundreds of years, society STILL have not come to accept people of color as equal people, under the law and of the same God.

I really enjoy the bridge poem, it was very inspiring. I was really feeling this poem. It just caught my eye, and it made me really focus more own myself, and not trying to solve everyone elses problem. Thank you

8ERACISM: WE ALL BLEED RED!!

I just love the fact that there is a page like this and I regret it the same time that it's still nessesary to have one!

Very glad to see you getting these facts out to the public. Sad to see how much my people have suffered in this country

checking on how racism changed over the last 100 yrs? email me if u have more info? thanks!

checking on how racism changed over the last 100 yrs? email me if u have more info? thanks!

I thought that your site was great, you really got the message across.

I am doing a report on racism and I was wondering if it was at all possible if you could send me some information on racism in America!I would really appreciate it.Thanks

Thank you for some good advice.

Good site. I'm trying to pass the pass without going to Law school so I can receive a college scholarship. Thanks, for the help.

I loved your essay on race and racism in America. I am a high school junior researching racism in my small town for a term project in my English class. There is an overwhelming white majority and most of my classmates are very cruel to the few Native American, Hispanic, and African- American children and thier families who live in my town. If only they would listen to the messages people like you so readily provide, the world may be a better place.

Your site is very imformative. Thank you

I am a teacher in a prison of mostly black inmates of a below sixth grade level. I also teach Life Skills and concentrate on teaching them that opression is universal. If a person understands this, then they can make a good life for themselves by thinking for their own benefit and staying out of prison. I use poetry(original) and take religious concepts(sermons), remove God and show that the basic concept is a rule for staying out of prison. I tell it like I believe it but our basis is respect. Each student has the right to completely disagree with me or each other but must respect any person's right to disagree. I also teach them to assume everything that they read, including what I say may be a lie and check it out at the source for themselves. I am not a preacher, my job isn't to convince them about anything but to teach them to think for themselves and their benefit. I seem to be successful and my materials are shared with anyone that is interested. My ideas on racism are different. I grew up in poverty, white, Catholic, and have experienced every kind of discrimination that others complain about. I also teach them how to become millionaires. $200.oo a week, invested at a 10% average return wil grow to a million in about 23 years. You win even if you fail to make your million because you have whatever you have invested. If any interests you, send me a postal address and exactly what you are interested in because I have several hundred of pages of lessons. I have been teaching this group for over 15 years and I generally write a new lesson each day that I am feeling good or inspired. Some categories: Poetry Writing lessons using poetry Jobs Resources Motivation Fatherhood Motivation Misc.(A little of this and a little of that)

I enjoyed your site. Visit mine real soon!

I am a junior attending the University of North Texas and preparing to attend law school in Fall of 2000. I found some of the content of your home page very inspirational. It is very seldom to see others giving back intellectually, and I thank you for that. :)

I really enjoyed reading the article.It made me aware of how many African-Americans distrust the Medical establishment.

I currently work as an Equal Employment Investigator for the City of San Diego. My interest as well as my work has led me to this Web site. I have always been curious about the human nature aspect of racism i.e.; why people do what they do to each other based on skin color. Another aspect of my curiosity regarding racism stems from working in this field; learning about and implementing legal and moral ways to deal with racism in the work place. I want to thank you for the site, because it is very helpful in my education and application.

If possible any updates or new information that you receive, please send them to me also. My African American Studies class is always looking for new information. So far your website has enlightened us a great deal and we really appreciated this information. Do you have any information regarding the Reparation Movements?

The most valuable and instructive site on the web,

My Dear Sister, I am definitely impressed with your web site. I am currently in my last year at Martin University majoring in Psychology and this semester I am taking African American Genetics and your site has been most helpful to me in becoming knowledgeable to the discrimination as it relates to health issues. Also, I am almost certain that my father was used in the Tuskeegee experiment. If you are interested as to why I feel that way feel free to contact me via e-mail at dorisjcarter@prodigy.net. Again, keep up the good work my sister/ Your sister in Christ, Grace and Peace Doris

nice page

I commend you for speaking out, even if it doesn't put you in danger as in the past, it is still a great thing to do.

I need to write a research paper on the death penalty and racism in the U.S. I need some advice on how do I start to write it, and some useful resources. thanks.

Sista,   I am very grateful to the Most High for finding your website! It is most enlightening. I have signed the guest book, and i will spread the word.   My son , who is in the 10th grade,  is doing a research paper on
Racism against African-Americans. Would you advise us of resources that he could use that are grade-appropriate. . . . If you can guide us to resources that he specifically can use we would be extremely grateful.

Ms.Randall,as a 27 yr.old WM,I found your articles on a.a quite one-sided.Did you know that there are black people also opposed to affirmative action?There is.All a.a.does,although its intentions are good, is promote reverse discrimination.Disagree? Get out into the world more.Yes,there are intelligent and hardworking blacks who earn their keep in society but the reason is they actually worked for it.Affirmative action just gives privileges to the lowest common denominator,people who have no desire to do an adequate job because they were hired on their color,not work ability and therefore could care less.Think I'm lying?Go pass by a fast food restaurant sometime.I'm not a racist,just someone who can see both sides of the coin that's all.In fact,an intelligent and hardworking black person is someone who'd I'd associate with before a lazy black person or white person for that matter.Thank you for hearing whitey's side.

I am writting you this short email to thank you for your academic web sight on the history of health insurance.  I am currently a student at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa.  As a freshman we are required to write a term paper for a common class that all freshman are taking.  I chose the effects of the great depression on the formation of compulsory health insurance.  I found your sight helpfull and really appreciated the information being
available on the internet.  It was extremly helpful.  Thank You,

The information you provided was very helpful.
Thank you 

Very interesting site. Please keep me informed of upcoming events. 

I am interested in educational law. Any information or advice that you have would be very helpful. I appreciate your taking the time in reading this!

Sincerely,

Scottie Eastwick 

Just want to compliment you for a fine website. The poetry is powerful and true. God, family, & friends...a great theme for a website, and a great theme for mankind.

I was looking for information in reguards to African-American (Adults) learning styles. This information is needed for a research paper I am working on. If you have any information you would like to share, the information will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I found you through Spectralinks. If you don't know about F.Leon Wilson at St. Johns U., let me know. 

i am so against racism. i don't see why people are racists. it is so stupid. there is nothing rong with any of us, except  maybe the racists! 

Hola Vernellia! Just wanted to say Hi. Enjoyed my visit to the site while I was checking links on my site. Nice poetry you have there. You have many resources in here, I had forgotten how rich this site was. As you know
I have you listed in my Sister's section in the Brown Site. Keep up the good work and have a prosperous 1999.

Is there any type of information that could help me on a report 
on if huckfinn is a racist book or not. And proof that can prove this. 

I really enjoyed visiting your WebSite. I give administrative support to physicians and researchers in the
healthcare field, and believe me, there is quite a disparity in the delivery of services to minorities. But,
until we stand up and say, "No more," it will only continue. I am grateful to have had the opportunity
to see and experience, firsthand, some of the greatest advances in healthcare of this decade (i.e.,
at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and University Hospitals of Cleveland). Yet, we still have
a long way to go, and only through reading and researching (educating) for one another can we
somehow break this 'deadly' chain.

Once again, thank you for such a "wonderful" WebSite.

Sincerely,
BJFeagin 

Great website on Race, Health Care and the Law! It reflects many of my own concerns about our current 
health care systems, standards, and practices, and how they may affect our African -American communities 
in this country. I've forwarded a link to this site to a friend who is an M.D. currently in an MPH program and will 
tell others about it.

Thank you for creating this informative and valuable resource! 

I love your site! I hope that all sisters will be able to link each other and create a network of resources. Please visit our new page for a nice place to take your shoes off.

Peace

I was at the Tobacco Independance Campaign in Clearwater Beach, FL on November 11-15, 1998. I was very inpressed by your presentation and I had asked you for the information that you had presented. You gave me your card which had your website listed on it. At the time, I did not have a computer or internet access, but now I do and am so glad to finally be able to view your website. 

This site helped me with my school work! Many thanks to creator of this page!!!!!!!!! 

hi, i am a third year law student in cork in ireland and i am doing an essay at the moment about how relevent the formal methods of teaching law  are for the student, client and society in real practice. i read your essay about incompetent teaching methods and would love your comment in the area. if you have time, please write even a few lines of your thoughts . my e-mail address is above. (the title is taken from a frank michelman quote and centres around  realism, formalism and critical legal studies)

thankyou for your time,. louise kiely 

Law School is HARD! 

Hey Vernellia - Good job! 

What an excellent and comprehensive site! I work for the courts of the Navajo Nation and your Indian material is very helpful. 

I like history, but too much history is not good for the mind.
Lets look to the Future and see what changes we can make. We can make a difference, I know I have and I can and I will.
