i love black people

This post is gonna celebrate Black people doing big things for other Black people.
First up, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama encouraging Kenyans to take AIDS tests by going to Kenya and taking an AIDS test. Freaking fantastic.




Next, Oprah keeps her promise and opens her school in South Africa and Hov will be all around the world talking about clean water this fall. While Jay-Z is off helping the United Nations, Russell Simmons is financially endorsing a Maryland Republican. Now, I'm no Republican, but I appreciate that Simmons is bold enough to be bipartisan for the sake of Black folks' upward mobility.




And, finally, there is my main man Bill Cosby. I love this guy. He's like the grandpa that walked ten miles to school. Even though people are hating on him, he's checking Black folks for the good of Black folks. Even better than just checking them, he's doing it consistently.

Ok just one more bit of good news before I go. There are so many sources for Black American news out there (or out here) on the internet. Here are some links:

Now, I don't know which one of these is run by the MAN. I am sure one or more of them are, but feel free to fill me in.

hearting black people since '84
