| RBG SSTT's Main Video Edutainment is "Madd Fat" RBG SSTT's Main Video Edutainment is "Madd Fat" They have and are continually trying to dumb our young folx down wit" stuck on video stupid"; an apt oppressive tactic against a people that don't read. Well, like Pac say in Trapped " Naw, They Can't Keep The Black Man Down". RBG Street Scholars Think Tank has builted a most powerful New Afrikan Revolutionary Video database. Everything you play is gonna drop a drink. Now You Tube has implemented an upgraded Adobe Flash Player that enables you to view a thumbnail menu of related videos at the end of each play. That means RBG Zines now have literally thousands of consciousness raising videos for your viewing pleasure. E-Mail this Video Playlist to a friend, family member and/or comrade.
As I have indicated elsewhere in the curriculm, these videos are a strong tool to provoke discussion in study cells and among community development groups. If you double click in the window of any video you are viewing it will take you to that primary location on You Tube where you can now do your own embeding or linking. KNOWLEDGE OF SELF YIELDS HEALTH AND WEALTH! 
The 500 year monopoly and control of information is over. Keeping the masses of our people in poverty and ignorance with the associated consequence of death and disease can now be neutralized once and for all. With advent of the internet all our people who can’t presently afford the financial burden of the traditional college experience can still receive the same information as the college student, but with the additional benefit of their education being historo-culturally, socio-politically and psycho-educationally relevant and consistent with their making a real contribution to self and kind. The Internet transcends and makes null and void the repressive neo-conservative political agenda of Bushit and the United States government’s disingenuous educational mandate of no child left behind. Furthermore, Eurocentric college and university “education” toward the upholding and maintenance of a system that doesn’t have our best interest at center can be circumvented. The Internet is currently the nervous system of real education for the masses of our people. One of the major challenges of the 21st century is for us “educated black folk” who are serious about educating our people (and not counterfeit nationalist just trying to sell something under the guise of blackness) is for us to increase access, training and connection of our people to the information highway. Any restrictions on the free flow of energy and information through this system must be viewed as an impediment to the overall intellectual and psychological independence of our people and must be remedied with extreme prejudice. Why, because as information becomes more evenly distributed, so will wealth. The ability of the Internet to educate and inform gives all our people an equal chance at getting knowledge and is key to the mass achieving their individual and collective dreams... From: The RBG Black Folks Internet Education Manifesto, one of the lessons in our off-line "Computer Training and Education" curriculum.
