    The fact that you have a “Black Weblog Awards Finalist” is racist in and of itself. I bet you and your cronies would be up in arms if there was a “White Weblog Award Finalist”. You talk about equality but are not doing anything to assimilate into the general culture. Last time I checked the blacks were a minority population in the US. Hence all programs should be setup to the majority of folks in american. Not the other way around. The tail does not wag the dog.
