Cobbski Luv

I love it when ya call me big Cobbski.

If I can do, and it turns out that I might can do, I would play George Clinton and say "shine the spotlight on 'em" all about the Black Blogosphere. So now that I've got some paperwork done and survived a self-imposed Tivo marathon of "Invasion", I'm in the mood to take it light. But I'm also still into the flavor and shape of that thing I alternatively call 'The Darkside' and 'The Kwaku Network'.

I do really want to start the Carnival of the Darkside and get that rolling. So I've bookmarked this joint. I'll figure it out and let you all know. But basically, it's the black blogosphere. The Kwaku Network is less structured but also more well known. I named it after the swahili word for 'Wednesday' as in, the Black Meeting on Wednesday Night. You know, where we all go to get our black information. Of course there is no black meeting on Wednesday night, but who among us has not heard about the Willie Lynch Letter? And where did that come from, huh?

Either way, I am recalling that two of the coolest brothers online call me Cobbski, and one used to call me 'Tuvok', which is also very cool.

So without going through all the trouble of segregating my blogroll, I wanted to offer a brief shout out / reference to those I consider the best of the black blogosphere, from my own personal perspective, although in no particular order:

  • Jimi Izrael
  • Bomani Jones
  • Prometheus6
  • Vision Circle
  • Faye Anderson
  • Kim Pearson
  • Negrophile
  • Mac Diva
  • Byron Crawford
  • Afro-Netizen
  • In Search of Utopia
  • Lynn D Johnson
  • Listen To Leon
  • EJ Flavors
  • Dell Gines

    • I'm not saying I read y'all on the regular, but I think anybody who doesn't know about you, doesn't know the half. I'm purposefully leaving out The Conservative Brotherhood, because I think they're seminal and that goes without saying.

    Now I get my RDA.

    Great list, Cobbski. And I'm definitely feeling the Carnival idea.
