Sounds like a lot of unity was happening with Tom Joyner.

I was blessed to be in attendance at the BWB Conference in Atlanta last weekend. It was da bomb diggity bomb! Truly a remarkable event with folks from all points on the political and social spectrum.

Methinks that the the 2009 BWB Conference will end up being in Dallas. There were a number of Black bloggers from that city making a pitch to host it.

Anyhow, I hope that JJP and others will make plans to attend it next year!

peace, Villager

At the UNITY (journalists convention) in Chicago, Tom Joyner said you all had nothing to do with the response to Jena or getting out the full story on Rev. Wright. It was he and radio, getting the word out to bammas…

Yep, that was the gist. No lie.

Thanks for sharing this video. Looks like there were many different political angles represented there as well.

Ms. Tubman: I can't get into the Monday Thread “comments”. Maybe my computer is as “old school” as I am. :>) :>) :>)
However; I wanted to leave 2 links[of course, with comments]. So, I will leave them here -please, nobody call me out. :>) :>) This is my desperate attempt to participate. :>) :>)

#1. “The Reign of 'Sheriff Joe” in Arizona, the Perils of Driving While Brown”

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2...

So this is happening in “MCANCIENT'S” state! A-ha!!! Could this in any way be related to – “I support the reversal of affirmative action legislation”? Surely NOT, she said with as much suspicion as she could muster! :>) :>)

#2. Trey Ellis-Huffpost: “How Much Did McCain Pay For The Hillary Handbook?”

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/trey-ellis/how-much-did-...

According to Mr. Ellis: It really seems that the only voting block that “MCANCIENT” [had ta do this] is courting these days is that of Angry Old Man.” :>) :>) :>)

O.L. I got my “vent on” for the day. :>) :>) :>) I'll come back L8R.

Thank you very much.

Jill,

Thanks for sharing.

Eagerly anticipating the "views" (videos and black perspectives) from the 2008 Democratic National Convention next month. Loving how you and your fellow brown bloggers are using your talents to publish information on the Internet focused on important issues facing all Americans, and colored Americans in particular.

I have a few discretionary dollars to donate to your efforts. Remind me of how I can put my money where my month is.

Congrats to everyone who made this happen!

I enjoyed the Ustream sessions....politic'ing with MC Lyte.

Hoping BWB 2009 will be somewhere in the MidWest. :-)
