Thinking bloggers Award

Well that's what I get so early in the morning, checking on what's the news on other folks' blogs that makes me think. Electronic Villagetagged me for one of five blogs that makes him think. I thank him and back at ya. Electronic Village selected quite a few that I would second as being some creative and informative bloggers. I would select four of the five that he mentioned, but mines must be different.

Here is my five:

Temple 3.

I don't know who he is or what he does, but the writing is the bomb. I agree that The "D" spot is tight. But, if you have not been on Temple 3's site, you need to get there in a hurry. Temple 3 spares no words in getting his point across. Most excellent and the site layout is something to see.

G-itch. At least that's what I call her. G writes about Katrina. G does not hold back. I found her writing heartfelt and honest. If blogging is a personal journal, G tells somethings that folks just might not want to read or listen too. Go read G.

Professor Z. Professor Z was one of the first blogs I read beyond my local bloggers. Professor Z is an outstanding writer. In my opinion, she questions how people think and how they come to their conclusion. This means she takes time to listen or read the message from the sender. Thanks Professor Z

Reverent and Free. This is one of the local bloggers that I read. It is a witty and local political bloggers that takes folks to task. R & F speaks his own voice that is not controlled by others.

FreeSlave. I just found freeslave again. Freeslave had went from blogspot to wordpress and because of the Afrosphere I was able to found his blog again. Freeslave writes with passion. I will never forget the post with a woman with ashes all over her, titled..blogging while wack...to my enemies with love.

I hope that I introduced some familiar bloggers along with some new bloggers. And to those I selected remember we are building community if we agree, so pass it on post up your five thinking bloggers. For those not included in this list you can found them on my sidebar. Peace.

Women-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr-Mobilization

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did not die because he had a dream. Dr. King, Jr. died because he was mobilizing. Dr. King, Jr. was mobilizing the poor to demand better pay and better jobs.

Dr. King, Jr. left behind those who are still dreaming of better pay and better jobs, instead of mobilizing our resources and talents.
