You may have noticed that BC has gotten a little fatter lately.  We’re trying to provide you with as much valuable, thought-provoking and insightful commentary as we possibly can.

We have renamed the BC Patrons’ Page to Friends of BC.  If you are a BC Contributor and have given us permission to print your name, you should find it there.  Just click on the link to Friends of BC on the left side of any page.

Would you like to continue to financially support BlackCommentator.com?  We’re about to roll out two new options for making BC Contributions.  First, we will soon have a button on the website that will enable you to make a BC Contribution without purchasing a BC Paid Subscription at the same time.  Second, for those readers who give financial support on a regular, periodic basis, we are beta testing a method whereby we will generate emails to you at whatever frequency you determine.  When you receive the email, all you will need to do is accept the email to automatically send your contribution from your bank account.

We’re collecting ideas for new items for the BC Online Store.  Please send your ideas to [email protected], and we’ll get to work on them.  Is there anything you’d like to see in the BC Online Store for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or Graduation?
