First Totally Black Owned Search Engine

Hi all,

My friend sent me a really important email. Check it out below

As some of you might know, a dynamic young African-American Internet
duo, Rob and Roz Rucker have created a brand new search engine and
portal site called The BlackWebPortal.com.

The site is designed with African-Americans in mind. Right now their
viewer-ship is the low thousands. They need to cross the hundreds of
thousands barrier to have any real chance of keeping this site online at
all. Some of you are thinking...why does it matter?

It matters because BlackVoices is wholly owned by the Tribune Company;
Black Families by Cox Communications; BlackPlanet.com by an Asian
company; and Soul City HBO by AOL-Times/Warner.

BlackWebPortal is the only site that is 100% African-American owned.
The BlackWebPortal needs all of us to start emailing our friends,
relatives, etc., all over the world to start using the resources at the
BlackWebPortal. The important thing is that they need help getting the
word out about this site. Let's help this site out by visiting and
seeing what they have to offer. So please tell EVERYONE about the
Black Web Portal. Don't just bookmark it for yourself. Spread the news!


This is a new millennium! We must begin truly supporting black
technology efforts in the same way we cheer on our movie and athletic
stars. If we don't, they'll end up having to do the same as other black
web sites by getting assistance from elsewhere, thereby losing the
original flavor they have.

PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD!

Thanks for the info!
