I'm pretty sure some Black folks just don't realize (because of naive~ness or lack of information), but they don't realize all the diverse things available to them through the NET.

Possibly fear of the unknown, and aprehension about learning something new that appears to be so complicated! --- (Even tho we know it really isn't)

Possibly some folks are hesitant to make a purchase of this caliber, if it may come up missing (stolen or sold by a druggie relative) depending on the neighborhood and/or environment.

Possibly some of us just ain't got our priorities together as far as what we NEED to better ourselves & increase our knowledge base ---- vs. ---- what we WANT to look good, or what sounds good in our stereo, or whatver.

There's actually a lot of possibilities --- yep!
