They get to the point and then the moral with a dabbling of facts and that is it. They "forget" a huge portion. The world needs more true teachers like you and not what are being produced today."Bill Hicks"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01572748453648004303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-48083818877757113722009-05-16T15:46:00.000-05:002009-05-16T15:46:00.000-05:00Beautiful post.

Too many people won't find out about this stuff unless it's presented quickly, neatly, and in full color video.

I believe the mindset of the current generation of blacks not to be anywhere near their ancestors of that time, and armed, a great many of them will not do good. They do not care for history, and they do not care for anyone besides themselves.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410045398729979497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-12744377910815826722009-05-16T09:48:00.000-05:002009-05-16T09:48:00.000-05:00Mike: Good show.

As it is, I read history, not because I was taught it as you do, but because I have an insatiable thirst for it, and a general curiosity about everything (you should see my overflowing, cheap, disorganized library).<br /><br />B WoodmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
