I am so tired of the racially motivated questions on Yahoo Answers that are filled with ignorant answers from people who obviously have not done research. Why is it that people who are not African American feel that they can psycho-analayze the black race? Why is racism in this country referred to as something that ended 200 years ago with the end of slavery when the Civil Rights movement occured in the 50's-60's? My mother fought segregation in schools and was involved in sit-ins to gain equal rights. So why do people continue to refer to these injustices as ending so long ago? Just last year one of my friends was picked up in my neighborhood (an upper middle class neighborhood) and told to get his "black a** out of the neighborhood and that he didn't belong" by a police officer. So before my "race" is accused of whining about what was committed by the long gone ancestors of Caucasians in this country, to our ancestors in this country... do research first. Search Emmett Till.

lots of studies have proved that rewarding good behaviour in the long term is much more effective that punishing bad behaviour but of course people that own cars should also be taxed more(and the money given to non drivers)

Most cave dwellers have eyes or vestiges of eyes, but if removed from the cave into lighted areas, still cannot see. Are there any studies which have been done to demonstrate that this blindness is genetic, and that if a newborn of the cave species were raised in a lighted environment, it would still remain blind? Also, have any tests been done to see if they can produce viable offspring with their light-dwelling counterparts? ie, can cave crickets mate with regular crickets or grasshoppers and have young that are fertile?

References and sources are especially important for a best answer to this question. Please qualify your answers as best as you can.

YEC's, please skip this and go to someone else who enjoys silly babble.
