Question
what is the best source for black education?
I prefer dvd,video tapes,books,if you can give me a list many thanks.

Answer
Books are best. Movies tend to omit certain things, assuming that brevity is the sake of wit.

I'd suggest: "From Slavery to Freedom: A History of African-Americans Since Slavery" which is by Franklin and Moss. That should have discussion/ cross references of every single relevant book that's been written on black Americans since at least the turn of the century.

Expertise

I can discuss conceptual problems in the policies of the black "leadership," the way that some government policies will really affect black Americans, as well as the history behind some current phenomena that one can observe. Being black man with a conservative bent (in that which concerns markets and government policy) alone invites many questions.

Experience

I have lived in Asia for over two years. Having lived in many places/seen many countries (just going on #20 now), I have become very pro-American in the last few years, since this place is actually THE most receptive to black people out of all the places that I have ever been. Also: I keep up with the news and am fairly well read, and can engage you on almost any topic. (It does seem that many of the thing that you see in America can be found in other countries, just with different players.)
