Ah. If only I'd had an all-pervasive Web in my life as a teen. I could have found snappy comebacks when classmates called me "oreo" or asked to touch my hair. Instead of connecting with other black teens who felt like me, I channeled my angst into the creation of a short-lived zine called Poop Ship Destroyer. But that little magazine (may it RIP), its papers collaged with Sassy cut-outs and stiff with glue, didn't have clickable links. Here's my fantasy blogroll, in hindsight:
News & Views
The black yuppie blog from NPR's News & Notes
BookishBlackGirl
A 20-something “African American” girl’s thoughts.
Blac (k) ademic
Until the lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter.
Afronerd
Putting the black bourgeoisie back on top (of the ghetto masses)
The Secret Council of American Negroes
Yes, the one your white friends keep asking about
and counting...
