Is it because you just want to pretend that you want our insite. Anyway the fact of the matter is that if the six young men were white you would be sceaming for them to be charged with a hate crime.So why shouldnt theese six black young men face the same consiquinces? the racism that your race projects is not ok.aconcernedcitizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340252914665782465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21083673.post-3596917422755124972007-09-29T20:13:00.000-07:002007-09-29T20:13:00.000-07:00its a shame that you say that you want more white ...its a shame that you say that you want more white bloggers then you erase my blog.

Organizations that would raise the standard for black bloggers and keep it high. Black bloggers also need their own research/think tank organizations with scholars on board. Basically, black bloggers must establish their own infrastructure around blogging.<BR/><BR/>That's why I have been calling for the formation of a professional organization... something that would establish quality standards for members. It doesn't necessarily have to be a Black organization... others could join, but the focus of the group would be to shine attention on stories and issues that are often ignored by big media and by the so called A-list bloggers....and the they would do it from an independent progressive perspective.<BR/><BR/>And not all A-list blogs ignored Jena.... although the vast majority did. Blogs like the Moderate Voice have mentioned it.Brian https://www.blogger.com/profile/07872444863142531165noreply@blogger.com
