THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE MASS MARKETING OF THE N-WORD ON AN INTERNATIONAL SCALE: "JUST IMAGINE 100 MALCOLM Xs OR 100 MARTINs - NOT EVEN 100 - 10 MALCOLM Xs, 10 MARTINs NOBODY WANTS THAT! IT'S TOO POWERFUL – TO HAVE AN EDUCATED BLACK MAN WHO KNOWS HIS HISTORY, NOT JUST FROM THE SHORES HERE IN THE AMERICAS, BUT ANCIENT AFRICAN HISTORY. PEOPLE DON'T WANT THAT, SO THEY DUMB DOWN THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM – IT'S FILLED WITH MISEDUCATION, MISINFORMATION, AND THE KIDS DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING, THEY DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE."

eNewsletter List
Welcome to the BN-W eNewsletter distribution list!
Although this list runs from 2004 up to the present date, there are many informative links and a multitude of other “stuff” within many of the eNewsletters from the earlier issues to the recent ones.
So be sure to keep that in mind while browsing and reading material within the BN-W eNewsletters – and not base your selections strictly on how current the date is or is not.
Also remember that some links may be date/time sensitive (newspaper/magazine articles) and others have expired or no longer exist.
For those reasons, we’ve usually tried to provide some basic information about the link topics so you can do a search if necessary by using the BN-W Resource Directory.
We hope you enjoy the site - and most importantly - that you learn something new and useful.

Denzel Washington: Actor and Matinee Idol...
The Fulfillment of Every Black Woman’s Dream
Or Lover Man Oh Where Can You Be?
For many, but not all, African American women of almost every age, socioeconomic level, stripe, form and fashion, he is the ultimate “Love God,” the man upon whom they hang their most romantic, domestic, sexual, and economic fantasies....
Wait a minute!
Let’s stop this cinematic vision for a moment.
Does this really happen in the films of Denzel Washington?
EXACTLY what has Brother
Washington done in the movies to be lionized as the romantic hero of most Black women’s dreams?
Happy Juneteenth Day!
