    You could add Black Gives Back(http://blackgivesback.blogspot.com/), Now That's What I'm talkng about (http://www.theotalks.net/) and The Starting Five (http://thestartingfive.wordpress.com/) and Tavis Smiley's Speak Out (http://64.130.20.92/speakout/feed/) to the list as well.

    You could add me to the list as well. While I don't focus on only black issues, I'm certainly a black blogger. My main blog is "Anali's First Amendment" found at http://analisfirstamendment.blogspot.com/ and I have a food only blog called "And Razzleberry Dressing" found at http://www.boomergirl.com/blogs/and-razzleberry...


    Thanks!

    Thank you all so much for this list. I'm an Asian-American who just recently started reading African-American blogs because of Barack Obama. (I wanted to know what African-Americans thought of him, and in the process found some great sites, like J&J.;)


    I think it's curious to say the least that the A-list of the liberal blogosphere appear to want to discuss Obama in some deracinated post-partisan bubble without ever linking to a black blogger. (To be fair, Obama is pretty much forced to run in this way.)



    And yet they feel comfortable weighing in on whether talking about MLK and LBJ was racist or the race card! Talk about chutzpah! Do those up and coming young liberals at TAPPED even have a black blogger?



    Anyway -- keep up the work.

    oops, I meant post-racial, not post-partisan

    Jack/Jill --> thanks for the soulclap! I wonder where The AfroSpear line-up will be when we get to the end of the year?


    I encourage those interested in joining The AfroSpear to click here to make your application for membership.



    peace, Villager

    If I have previously applied, but never heard anything back, does that mean that I have been...rejected? Please say it isn't so!

    I'd like to add Spilled Tea to the list: http://www.spilledtea.com . I'm one of the contributing bloggers there. We discuss everything related to pop culture with an urban twist. :-)

    great job to Jack & Jill Politics and Wayne over at Electonic Village... this is awesome. instead of guessing what is going in the Black community, you can now come to the Black community and really find out!

    I managed to land at #2 on the Electronic Village list, but MIA on this one. Sigh.

    What?


    NO NEGRAS LATINAS ALLOWED?



    WTF?!?!



    I want my reparations!



    This is discrimination!



    This is a blackout by the black establishment!



    I'm being repressed by the imperialistic yankee negritude cabal!

    Thanks for the list, Jack and Jill. I would add ours but...it may not fit in this bourgeois political crowd! Best of luck to you all!
