The excellent analysis of current events that has been posted this week here at IntraPoltics? Just in case, here's a reminder:

"It's the beginning of an authoritarian system in Somalia.". Upheaval in the Somalian government. Who's running the show behind the scenes?
Class-ic complications - a neat summary of the effect of the class divide -
California, Louisiana, and the Right to Return. Are the policies undertaken by law enforcement and developers in some natural disasters part of a general scheme to displace the poor and minority property owners and renters?
Drs. Cosby and Poussaint on Meet the Press. A 4 part series dissecting the good doctors' appearance on Meet the Press -
Jena Tries to get its story straight. Again. Correcting the myths about the myths.

Those are the highlights, here. What's going on on your site? Don't be shy, promote yourself!

For instance, there is a debate going on now and through the weekend at Maxambit.com, between Michael Fisher of Assault on Black Sanity, and Michael Cobb Bowen of Cobb. It should be interesting, drop in and see!

That means it's just for practice, so you can register at the site and say hi in any of the threads and it won't hurt a bit! In fact, in this openish thread, I'd love to hear what you are writing about on your sites. I promise not to look! (Okay, that's a lie, but still). Don't be shy. Bragging on yourself is encouraged, shyness is discouraged at intrapolitics.org. Soon we'll have one of those "Who's New" thingies on here, and when new folks sign up, I'll announce them and their sites, if they have them.

Anyway, as I explained before, I am taking a rotating list of black blogger's sites and randomly picking the first 5 on the list, in order to let everyone know who is out there, and to connect and communicate and all that. I'm afraid there is one on my list that I really had to struggle with myself to include... but include it I did, because it's good to know that there is a wide variety of thought and beliefs among Black people. Even if some are wrong, wrong, WRONG. Ahem.

I will be nice, though. You'll see! Read below.

So, I am bit slow starting off... I should have started doing this a week or so ago, but well, what can you do... I am here now! And kinda blabbery, so this will be uncharacteristically long.

P6 and Sylvia have introduced the site well - and you can always see our featured articles in the various sections by looking at the box at the upper left hand corner of the site - over the past couple of weeks, but in these little open threads I'll put reminders from time to time, as we are just new and our vast audience of readers may not be clear on what we are doing yet.

For one thing, although you might take one look at the title of this post and think, "Man, is she nosy", you would be... actually, quite correct! I am very nosy but this is a good thing! Truly! You see, we want to know what everyone is up to, on their sites, so that we can send people there to read your work, maybe stick around and make comments and, in general, make connections across the... well, I am not sure what we are calling it nowadays... blackosphere? Afrosphere?

Whatever, the question is often asked, 'Where are all the Black folks at?" And we answer! Read on -
