#TeamBlackness talks about the uproar from Cheryl Contee and Elon’s trip to Right Online, suggesting the shooting of “urban thugs” and a farewell to Bassey as she passes on the co-host duties to L. Joy.
This is the story of how Elon James White of This Week in Blackness and Blacking It Up and I infiltrated the Right Online conference masquerading as black conservatives. Right Online was held at the same time and in the same place asNetroots Nation in Minneapolis this year. The right wing has struggled to mount a conference as popular, as successful and as important as Netroots Nation. BTW, this was the largest NN ever with over 2500+ people from all over the nation and the world, showing that despite a difficult economy — progressives online remain as committed as ever to coming together to design & promote creative solutions to turn this country around. Faced with the growing popularity of NN, a couple of years ago Right Online lit on the strategy of riding Netroots Nation’s coattails, hosting their conference in the same city around the same time as ours. While their conference remained small, it attracted media attention — which emboldened them further.

If the name just sounds familiar but you don’t know why–Mr. Kanazawa happens to be the asshole …er…douchebag…er…completely inept faux science cretin who published the magic article for Psychology Today about the lack of attractiveness of Black women. He be fired, son.
Recently Attorney General Eric Holder requested a new season of “The Wire” from creator David Simon.
“Do another Season of The Wire. That’s actually at a minimum…if you don’t do a season, do a movie. We’ve done HBO movies, this is a series that deserves a movie.” – Eric Holder
All of us Wire fans laughed and cheered the silly request. It’d be AWESOME if they did another season of The Wire but it’s not actually going to happen. I mean Simon wouldn’t actually put together a a season because the GOVERNMENT told him–but Simon RESPONDED:
Have you ever gone to an event and seen a panel of nothing but White guys? Ever wonder to yourself “Hmm. Are there really no women or minorities that know anything about this topic. Hell you can get a minority WOMAN and get 2 for 1!” If this has crossed your mind, rejoice; You are not the only one.
