2007 Black Blog Awards

August 13th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

Black Weblog AwardsIf you haven’t heard of the Black Weblog Awards, they are the only Blog Awards that focus solely on African-American blogs. For the past two years, the group has highlighted the talents of black bloggers with award recognitions. This year, each category will have two winners. The voting public will submit websites for blogs via a nomination form from August 1-15. Then the voting process will begin on Thursday, August 16. The winners will be announced on September 5. I’m hoping that our supportive YBP Readers will take 3 minutes out of their day to nominate YBP Guide for an award. Maybe Best Blog Post or Blog Post Series, Best Culture Blog, Black Blogger Achievement Award, or even perhaps Best Blog of the Year. If not us, then please support one of the other many black blogs in the blogosphere who give us daily doses of political opinions, takes on racial issues, and celebrity gossip. Remember that we are all in this together and if we don’t support each other with our blogging endeavors then we are no better than crabs in a bucket.

    It should be NO surprise to America that this country has develop and created the white Frankenstein. This is NOT a racist comment it is a reality statement. 90% of the wrealth is own by 1 % of American. And those Americans are white. White people are in that position because of a racist and evil white only goverment of the pass. Whites are the first recipicants of affirmative action in America. Yet no white American ever state that fact. The different in their affirmative action program 100% of white people qualify. Less then 10 % of black Americans will particplate in a affirmative action program. It had NOTHING to do with ” PULLING THIERSELF UP BY THEIR BOOT STRAPS” or HARD WORK. The problem with my statements it falls on death ears. Today in these times whites don’t want to hear those facts. Because they must face the facts that just like black people. With all the one sided evil of this country with all the racist discrimination against black people. Whites are disrespected by rich white people too. Just this week another evil Frankenstein by the name of Vice President Dick Chaney stated after being told that 78%of Americans thinks that the Iraqi war is wrong. Frankenstein stated SO! We can’t forget the very gutless white Frankenstein THE WHITE MEDIA They report the new base on their stupid and racist thinking. Good Morning America did a show on bully in the work place. They didn’t go far enough they should have said that most of the bully are white Frankenstein that we create. From the rich white big company owners to the rich white politicians. The middle class whites pay nearly four dollar a gallon for GAS just like black people. Lead are in their children toys just like black people. Food prices are high for them just like black people. And all those things are because we as a people have create white Frankenstein. Another Frankenstein that stick it to both black and whites are white own credit company. Along with white politiciansFrankenstein is able to charge card holder for anything they can think of. White judges are some of the evil Frankensteins that keep hate alive and discrimination against black people a on going problem. Whites Judges see first hand discrimination and do nothing. White cops are the biggest and the most evil of all white Frankensteins they are gutless to a fault. They will murder UNAEMED black children as young as five. And adults as old as 92yrs old and don’t bat a eye. THAT”S EVIL.
