What is the African American empowerment blog? The AAEB is a blog focusing on news, music, poetry, art, quotes, facts, books, movies and people that uplift, empower, and motivate African Americans.

Welcome to Afronerd! A new and needed web sanctuary for people of color with intellectual and artistic pursuits. In this blog we will be addressing interesting and varied subjects, i.e. current national/world affairs, culture, science, religion, politics, entertainment and literature(including graphic novels a/k/a comic books.....yes comics). We hope you enjoy the exchange of ideas. Peace & Godspeed

So.  This is my blog.    It is a slow and steady Ooze of Awesome from my ramshackled mind, which I splatter all over the internets like so much brains on a wall. I have two personas–ooh! a penny!

I hope to use this blog as an outlet for my numerous rants about things that frustrate or infuriate me. Basically, it's like therapy but cheaper.

I’m re-educating those who need it, and in the process re-educating myself.  I’m open to anyone who wants to share their knowledge of black culture with the world through this blog.  I have made it my mission to remind us all of the good aspects and qualities of black people worldwide.  I’m biased FOR my people, so I will always give them the benefit of the doubt. No apologies.

I just write about things that we think and speak about. We live in a viral world so it's easy to find a wide range of topics, altho I tend to think of myself as a horrible blogger.  I am not a subject matter expert per se, and I don't stick to one topic as most leading bloggers do. 

Current events, politics, sports, music, movies, observations on everyday life, Negro Nonsense.

I’m quite opinionated and I tend to rant about whatever subject irritates me. My stream of consciousness is this blog, just in a more coherent manner. Hope you’re amused by it.

BU is not only an acronym for Black & Ugly, but it also holds a double message in telling the wearer to “Be You” and embrace your culture and history in everything you do including the clothes you wear.
