Ok Duers welcome to the Afrosphere
I've been linking blogs that are found in the Afrosphere that may have been overlooked by mainstream progressives. Since I received a positive reaction from posting Jack and Jill Politics, I thought once a month a would link an Afrosphere blog on here to give another progressive perspective.

Here is another one. This is a smaller and newer blog and is devoted to Michelle Obama. Remember we may not like the same and we may have different experiences, but we all are on this road together. Yes We Can.

Show some love and check out the cute song section.

A nice mix of culture and politics.

3. That was a well laid out site.
I also hav to agree with you about UBM. I also like the way he is prepared to go in to the lions den and tackle bigots head on.

5. Shit, I wish our pages look a little more like those.
Nice, thoughtful posts, all true, about our first family.

Lateley, GDP looks as nasty in places as the Hannity forum.

8. Black blogosphere
lol, Its a terminology that some progressive black blogs self identify themselves with since they get so little love from the mainstream blogosphere and created their own community.

Remember, black folks don't use the internet:sarcasm:

14. Yeah, Angee! A once a month feed from the Afrosphere sounds great
Edited on Wed Apr-15-09 03:59 AM by Number23
But twice a month sounds even better... :)

By the way, Angee have you ever visited the AAIG?? You'd be most welcome there! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=258 :hi:
