A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Hey there — it’s time once again for the Black Weblog Awards. The visionaries behind BWA saw in 2005 that black bloggers deserved recognition from their own community. The number of black blogs has mushroomed since that early time.
Here at JJP — we’ve been surprised, delighted and honored to receive Black Weblog Awards for our work in the past. And we’ve supported the Awards in turn — it’s a great place to see a quick pick of the growing universe of amazing and smart bloggers who happen to be black. I can’t recommend the Past Winners pages highly enough.
We’d like to ask for your support again this year — if you like JJP, please head over to the Black Weblog Award Nomination page. You may need to click through a few pages to 5 and 6 to nominate us in these types of categories:
