I have an admission to make. I’m really bowled over with Usain Bolt. I don’t know if it’s because it hearkens back to my dismal track days in high school, or is it really just the black on black affinity that definitely never meshed with Michael Phelps or even with Cullen Jones. Whatever the case […]
Read more "Don’t Wait Till the Battle Is Over, Shout Now!"I got my text at 3:40am CDT and I was fast asleep. I rolled over around 5am and saw my little light had went to flashing orange so I checked it. Frankly, I thought Obama was going to do a switcheroo and pick someone we hadn’t even remotely thought of. But meh, I was wrong. […]
Read more "Meh…Biden, I’m not impressed"I really don’t have much to say on behalf of Miss Jones, but I feel moved to do another post on her in the face of the absolutely shameful way that this tragedy was handled by MSM, by reporting that she was dead before the early afternoon press conference on yesterday. As you see there […]
Read more "In Memoriam: U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones"What the crap!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?! I’ma need for CNN to get their breaking news headlines together. Now apparently she’s on life support and hanging on to dear life, so perhaps (this sounds so horrible what I’m about to type) she may die soon, but officially reports are that’s she’s on life support, in critical condition barely hanging […]
Read more "UNN Breaking News: Ohio U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones in critical condition (corrected from earlier)"I know my blogroll is getting more and more full, but I just to make you all aware of the new additions to the Uppity Negro Network family. I actually ran across these blogs as a result of me perusing the finalists for the 2008 Black Weblog Awards. I didn’t make it, but no thang […]
Read more "Three More Additions"To be honest, I never heard of the Black Blogosphere until the Jena 6 crap in September 2007 **goes to look for the shirt I bought just for the march around the AUC that day** The following month, my friend from Soul Jonz told me about it, and it’s been a wrap ever since then. […]
Read more "The Role of the Black Blogosphere"Usually I post these Uppity Updates when, as the saved folk say, “there’s about to be a shift atmosphere.” The shift is that I’m about to end my internship. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! This has been a long summer, I recently got off the phone with Mama Uppity and I realised that once I return back to my […]
Read more "An Uppity Update"Just to let those reader’s know who don’t already check this blog, I was the featured guest blogger on AverageBro’s blog. Yup, the number two blog on my blogroll on the right of the screen (at least in the current format). I did a blog entitled “Why The Black Community Is Willing to Give Obama A […]
Read more "UNN Featured Guest Post"Well, this is all new to me, but I’m going to give it a go. It’s the nominating season for the 2008 Black Weblog Awards. I’d love to be nominated for something! If you feel the same way, click here so you can go and do your thing for The Uppity Negro Network, the place where you […]
Read more "Show Me Some Love!"Well, I’ve been quite mum as far as the political process is concerned. I officially took the UNN off of Obamawatch! 2008 the day he decided to throw his pastor under a bus/do a driveby/plunge him into the water depths (your pick). Ever since then my blog more or less discussed politics in general–this […]
