Thread Name: BS: Blogs About People of Color & Culture
Subject: RE: BS: Blogs About People of Color & Culture
http://www.racialicious.com "Racialicious" is my favorite blog about race & culture. As per the information on the Racialicious home page, "Latoya Peterson is Editor of Racialicious and Carmen Van Kerckhove is founder and Publisher."

Latoya Peterson is African American(Black) and Carmen Van Kerckhove is Anglo-American (White).

The summary statement of the Racialicious Home page notes that "Racialicious is a blog about the intersection of race and pop culture. Check out our daily updates on the latest celebrity gaffes, our no-holds-barred critique of questionable media representations, and of course, the inevitable Keanu Reeves newsflashes."

I've not read any blog articles about "celebrity gaffs, and Keanu Reeves newsflashes".
I suppose such articles are found in that blog's archives. If so, I'm not interested. But what has caught my interest are the very well written essays from various bloggers who are African Americans, or are Asian, or Latino, or Native American. I've learned a great deal from reading these essays and reader comments. Most of these bloggers are guest essayist, which serves to introduce Racialicious visitors to those individual blogger's websites.

One of these days I probably will post comments in response to an article that I've read on that blog. But for now, I content with being a lurker.
