How can you listen/read any of his speeches and not shed a tear? My eyes well-up everytime, because I know there’s much more work to be done. (Issues like Steering, Racial Profiling, Hip-Hop Police, The Prison System, Gangs, Bank loans, etc. I could go on for days…the matrix is no joke.) And I don’t expect it to be fixed within my lifetime. Hmph, I’m militant anyway. Celebrate this day, like you should celebrate everyday, in a peaceful, respectful manner with a heart full of love. Be mindful of where one comes from and where we all should be. In the meantime, I got something hot for those who wanna trip. Just lettin’ you know. Check out the links below.

We all know what type of mechanism the settlers created Thanksgiving was for. So I’m not going to preach that.

My readers, nothing but love. I see y’all. Some be lurkin’. That’s cool. As long you diggin’ my work in one fashion or another.
Readers who’ve entered the Katt Williams American Hustle Giveaway, I appreciate it. And thanx for the love.
My clients, strictly nothing but love. Y’all make me better. Really! You do!

I’m sorry Gladys baby I’ve neglected you for those who don’t appreciate you. Won’t happen again baby. I’ma wash you extra thoroughly. Y’all got lucky! I knew y’all were cooking today.

Shout out to Jam… ever since I saw those legs in that Radar insert…I’ma leave it at that.

It’s about time.
If 2007 has shown anything in the vast landscape of the Internet, it’s that bloggers of color have power, and they’re using it.

Whether it’s fighting the injustices of our justice system, debating racism in the media, the current immigration debate or celebrating our best and brightest, bloggers of color are a vital and viable part of the blogosphere who aren’t afraid to voice their opinions on a number of subjects, and are willing to take it to the streets in order to make that presence known. Bloggers of color are at an inflection point in the continued development of the blogosphere.

To that end, the Blogging While Brown Conference was born.

Our ideas and thoughts matter! With several other tech/blogging conferences such as SXSW, BlogHer and YearlyKos, it’s about time for something simliar for bloggers of color which talks about more than technology and blogging, but how to use the tools available to us with the Interent in order to influence and create change in our world.

The Blogging While Brown Conference will take place in Atlanta, GA July 25-27, 2008. Please check back for further updates. — [ Source: BloggingWhileBrown.com ]
