What I find on a lot of the sites that are thriving and basically hoping to generate revenue dollars by their visitors is that they are quite negative. There is hardly anything positive about any of them and this is the sad reality of a world saturated by popular culture. Ebony has to reinvent itself in a way that made it the source of AA culture and they don’t need to become obsessed by celebrities like so many blogs and websites are today. I can’t name any AA owned sites that are mainstream, the blogosphere is just as self-segregated just like many of us live our lives. Since so many of them are such great writers, why don’t they freelance at the magazine? Many of today’s younger AA’s think that have evolved where they don’t need our culture, they tend to think in some what multicultural terms but the majority of them are still living segregated lives. Today’s AA don’t value our culture any more, it’s funny how so many of them think that they are somehow above it. What I have realized is that foreign born people of African descent here and abroad still appreciate our culture, while American born AA’s do not. What angers me even more is that they are always crying how AA’s don’t have any businesses, don’t have this or excluded, etc and yet they don’t support any of them. I’d hate to see Mr. Johnsons dream disappear because of a lack of support from the very people he helped highlight in his magazine over the years.
