It’s easy to sit back and expect things to simply happen by osmosis. Yet, The Black Commentator (BC) does not exist by mere osmosis. We exist and publish thanks to the love, care, and contributions of our readers.

NOW is the time to step forward and send your dollars to BC. We will not survive otherwise. The Black Commentator should not be struggling to merely survive. It should be thriving. Yes, times are hard, and they will get even harder without the guiding and provocative voice of BC to stimulate us to thought, debate, and action.

BC writers are not paid. All of us, irrespective of our varying perspectives, contribute freely of our time and energies. Nevertheless, the daily operating costs to keep BC functioning are significant.

To those of you who read my ‘Keeping It Real’ column and those of you who prefer other BC columns, I urge you to dig deep down and immediately send your contributions. This is no joke. The Black Commentator needs your immediate help right NOW!
