All good things must come to an end

February and Black History Month are over! My limited exposure to the media meant I didn’t have to deal with too much stupid BHM crap this year. Must remember this strategy next time around.
First thing, I want to thank all of the guest bloggers and essayists who contributed to ABW last month. [...]

Phew!

Just want to take a moment to, again, thank all of my guest bloggers and essayists for their contributions. Last week saw more content than the ABW has seen all at once in a long time. So before we dive back in to the thoughtful posts and insightful discussion, I want to make [...]

Linky Carnival

Since WordPress.com was a little messed up this weekend some of you may have missed a post or two.  Never fear, I am here to point you toward all the angry black goodness.
First, there’s my review of Acacia (fantasy… with brown people!  omg) and an excerpt from my interview with the author.
Next, my rant about [...]

May 2007 Erase Racism Carnival

Link Roundup and Open Thread

My folder of links to share with you all is getting rather full. I guess that means it’s time for a link roundup. It’s a little long, so I put it under a jump.

Link Roundup and Breathing Space

Lordy! Yesterday I submitted the Barack post to reddit because I wanted people to witness my funny. About 3 hours after I did that the post had generated something like 500 hits. I get about 350 hits on an average day, and 500 is a good day overall. So it was [...]

Link Roundup

Sorry no roundup yesterday. Life intruded upon blogging!
First and foremost: The 5th Erase Racism Carnival is up at Black Looks. As always with carnivals, there are very interesting and informative posts you should read.
