Mr Ceesay, Some pretty harsh words for a simple posting about African-American accomplishments. Afrocentric crap? pseudo-intellectualism? Just another way by a growing middle class African-American, blacks etc to satisfy their ego? How could you reach such a conclusion about the African-American middle class? Do you know how long Tom Ola Coker has lived and worked in the United States for you to have the gull to say to him that he should throughly figure out African-American history and why they've got Anglo- Saxon Christian names? You can disagree by all means but not to the point of being disrespectful. To Ginny: Dr Charles Drew's story is factual. He was denied the same blood transfusion technique he inv ented. He was left for dead on the road side where the car accident occured.
