Roll Call

July 27, 2006 by Marc Lamont Hill

Every day, I get emails and MySpace messages from people who say that they check out the blog but never leave any comments. Since the blog gets as many as 25,000 hits a day but most posts only receive 20-30 comments, I’m sure that this is true.

Today, I’d like you “lurkers” out there to drop a comment telling me how often you read, what topics you like, and why you don’t usually post. In addition to satisfying my curiousity, I’d like to know how I can make the Barbershop more interesting and engaging for the silent majority. Don’t be scared!!!
Of course, if you’d rather remain in the shadows of the blog, there’s no hard feelings. Just keep reading and supporting the page.

Thanks!!!!

I read it everyday at work. Accounting sometimes gets a little tiresome. All concepts are interesting since sometimes I never have thought about them ie. Crackheads climbing trees. Since I dont let crackheads do my housework. Some of your posts are clever and I am behind you on the fight against Cosby venting (It is getting annoying). Also, what is your stance on the war going on right now?

I worked with you briefly at Furness H.S. and learned of your blog when you served as our keynote speaker this past June.

I have been a loyal reader ever since…

I also stumbled on your page. How? I don’t remember. Searching for something I think. I also am a young buck (junior in undergrad) But, I have been reading since. I don’t post too much because what I usually have to say has already been said. Don’t want to fill up the box with another ‘yes-man’. I like what I’m reading and I hope you continue to put out good stuff for us.
