Dear Jupiter, 

Found the percentage of African American children using the Internet,
but not with frequency levels (such as "once a week").

Would you like that as an answer?

Could you please include the source of the data in the answer to my prior question?

Dear Jupiter, 

According to a research I found, there is a serious gap between the
access that African American children have to the Internet, and the
access other American kids get. This is an economic gap - not
resulting from some kind of incapability or technophobia: African
American children are more eager to use the Internet in school, but
are less connected at home.

In 2002, "58% of African-American children now use the Internet from
some location, compared to 19% in 2000;"

However, while " 49% of Caucasian children use the Internet at home;  
29% of African-American children use the Internet at home;"

See:

from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting"
