Consider -- Below is an excerpt from a newspaper article regarding students who were provided reading materials in the [Nigritian]* language for a period of time (Long Beach Press Telegram, 4-30-1997):
"The 417 students across the United States taught with [Nigritian] showed an average reading gain of 6.2 months during 4 months of instruction, while the 123 students taught by regular methods gained only 1.6 months....
Despite their success, the [language] system was discontinued because of hostile, uninformed reactions to the recognition of the [language] in the classroom."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Researchers know that when students recognize and appreciate their language/culture, they learn faster and with greater ease. Language study inherently involves the study of the culture that produced it.
We do want our children learning to read quicker and with greater comprehension, don't we?
Is discontinuing something that was successful common sense? Is it logical to be hostile or upset when one hasn't done any research?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You see, it's important to know Grammar, which is poorly taught nowadays. "Nigritian" is Black peoples' first language and it has a structured grammar--which is the foundation of a legitimate Language!
If Hispanic or Asian or any other group of youths can get help with English as a Second Language, so must Black/Nigritic youths. Therefore, Black/Nigritian students qualify for English as a Second Language (ESL) courses with the concommitant funding.
* The Nigritian language is revealed in depth in the book described below.
IMPORTANCE
One's "name" carries one's history, spirit and legal rights. Ever hear of the FBI Witness Protection Program? With a different name, a witness' past (his or her "history") cannot be discovered!
Some people might say, "It's now a bad word! We can't reverse what it has become."
ARE THE APACHE, ARE THE SIOUX GOING TO CHANGE THEIR NAMES
BECAUSE THE "WHITE" MAN SAYS THAT THESE ANCESTRAL NAMES MEAN "SAVAGE?"
Are you really going to let your enemy change
and/or denigrate your ancient name?
What if, out of the clear blue sky, you're told:
"Your Grandma's name is bad."
Which lake would you tell him/her to jump in?
The following overview is to stress the importance of protecting one's ancestral name and being Objective in the process:
1) EDUCATIONAL LEGITIMACY
A university professor--an excellent one, too-- denounced the use of the word “Nigga” with this explanation:
The use of it “…reflects a duality of confusion in our society, because we are not taught a comprehensive history about African Americans."
FACT: We should not be taught a comprehensive history of “African Americans” because it is a ruse. The nomenclature ("African") will be examined thoroughly in the book from linguistical, political and legal standpoints.
Naming the "Nigritian" people "African" is a recent act (officially 1884). "Africa" is not found on any ancient cave nor pyramid wall.
“We” are not taught the truth about Nigger nor “Black.” In fact, our history is so distorted by those who know (read: white people who have consciously and systematically socially engineered Education in general and our history specifically) that most individuals, even those with doctorates, regurgitate misinformation, misrepresentations and falsehoods.
Most Black/Nigritic educators do not know that at least 85% of the so-called “Indians” in North and South America were Black and were the ones who were practically exterminated due to the broken treaties (over 380 in U.S.), wars against them, the March of Tears, disease, starvation and misegenation by rape.
As the proverb goes: “The victor writes the history books.”
The book (and video) will talk about the Waushita, the Moors, the Nez Perce, the Zuni, the Delaware; in California the Pasbengna, the Puvungna, et al, from the vantage point of the science called Linguistics. Linguistics is more accurate than Archaeology in the study of History, as stated in an L.A. Times article.
Black leaders and academics -- whom most I greatly respect because they have put themselves out there trying to enlighten and make a difference-- cannot tell you the facts about the word “Nigger.” But they are not Linguists. To emphasize a point, one does not go to a politician, a poet or radio host to get heart surgery.
As a science, Linguistics has been divided into numerous “specialties” (about 12)—a practice that plagues most fields of study because all knowedge is related. One division, Etymology, is the study of the origin of words. And, without at least a cursory study of some of the other divisions (e.g., Philology), the many related insights about a particular word or idea will undoubtedly be missed.
2. A RECOGNIZED GRAMMAR
In about 1987 the Oakland School Board held a press conference to demand that the Nigritian language be taught to Black school children. All of the media (broadcast and print) reported that the school board wanted to teach "Ebonics"-- all except a small, local, Black-owned paper.
Workshops on the "Niger-Congo" collection of languages was then presented. "Niger-Congo" was already an accepted name of that which had the same grammatical structure that linguists found in "Black English" or "Ebonics."
However, to misname the collection is to deny the existence and knowledge of its original and true name (Nigritian).
It was, of course, important for invaders and murderers to deny or hide the language capacities of peoples of whom they were denying humanity.
Several notable Black/Nigritic linguists have written books/papers on the Niger-Congo grammar, which turns out to be the same grammar as the Nigritian language (of course): Each consonant separated by a vowel, etc.
We will compare Nigritian to Ebonics to the Ancient Egyptian language (MDR NTR) more fully in the ebook.
The grammar is legitimate (no matter which name it is given) and should be taught to all Black/Nigritic students inasmuch as doing so would open up a world of understanding of all languages, create self-pride and accelerate English literacy and comprehension.
3. YOUR NAME
The use and value of one's personal and racial name include:
======================================================
Now, re-read and ponder each item above. I bet you will come to the conclusion that we must get behind one racial name--one with an Ancient History supported by maps, 30,000 BC-dated writing on caves/pyramids, sacred texts, Science and mythology.
ALSO, CONSIDER!!
4. LEGAL, POLITICAL AND SOCIAL LEGITIMACY
People are being jailed and punished, in many ways, for speaking a legitimate, honorable title for a leader or a king.
If I know the truth, what about the "learned:" Encyclopedia and dictionary editors, at the minimum? I can’t possibly know more than they do about Linguistics! Who started this?
Also, legally and politically, we have no status if we have no name--other than what "they" give us!
WHICH THEY CAN CHANGE AGAIN-- CONTINUING TO FRAGMENT US.
Our "racial" name is Nigritian--not Negroid!
--------------------------------------------------------------
COMPARE:
RACIAL name: Nigritian
NATIONAL names: Moors, Jamaicans, Ethiopians, Afro-Peruvians, Fijians, etc.
to
RACIAL name: Caucasian. NATIONAL names: Norwegians, Italians, Russians, Swedes, etc.
----------------------------------------------------
And, "Nigger" is a Spiritual and Legitimate Title!
The book will document over 40 books that describe “Niggers” as the word that refers to gods, or divine ones, righteous ones, and the like. (It applies to the feminine, also.)
These are books right under our noses but are “not seen” because we have been psychologically manipulated to not to recognize the truth (psycho-cultural manipulation, again). Why are our Name and Language hidden and degraded?
5. CULTURAL GENOCIDE
IT IS CULTURAL GENOCIDE TO BAN THE USE OF ONE'S ANCESTRAL NAME, in this case the name “Nigger” or “Nigga.”
Also, it is an Act of Genocide to torture by inflicting psychological pain to a group's consciousness and/or spirit.
There must be restitution!!

The facts will set you free, Niggah!!
