Info Post
PK NOTE: Courtesy of commenter Zenster, let's take a look at a recent article that detailed the most corrupt athletes in history. Thanks again to Zenster for this article. The future plan for SBPDL is to move in another direction where those who would like to can contribute original pieces (a brand new site off of Blogspot). For that to happen, we still need to raise funds for a site redesign (thanks to all those who have sent in donations! Your books will be mailed soon). If you can make a contribution (and you do get books for contributions over $50 and $100), please make a donation via PayPal in the right-hand corner of the site, or send an email to SBPDL1@gmail.com. We are approaching the release of Stuff Black People Don't Like: 365Black Days of Judging by Content of Character; the following month comes The Opiate of America: College Football in Black and White; then, Down to Slavery: Obama's War on White America.


The time is now. SBPDL: Fight Back.
