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." [BN-W, January 2007]
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.
