Thanks for the award JD, to have this type of recognition so early in my blogging is amazing to me. I will have to think about my 5 for a day or two but it will be up no later than that.

Latimer, It is awesome that so many deep thinkers from our community have blogs. We have some great black bloggers that are well known as evidence by their ranking, the 5 I picked have all started blogging since last fall, when I did. The Imus case is an example of the compassion of black bloggers, I have read at least 10 great post on this issue and all from black bloggers.We are making a difference. I could have had several more but I know you guys will find them for us

JD - Asante sana. I just began blogging in mid-January. It is an honor to have others respect your work at this early stage of evolution. I just try to do two things at this poing. First, I try to consistently post … right now my goal is a single post per day. Second, I try to pick up ‘best practices’ from other bloggers and bring them back to the Electronic Village.
Anyhow, this is my second time being tagged with the Thinking Blogger Award. My first five continue to make me think. However, there are many others. I will work towards having my new list up in the next day or so.
Thank you again!
peace, Villager

My fave thinking blog has got to be http://www.Seeingtheforest.com.
I’ve been visiting that site for so long now, cuz I have a personal affinity for the very same stuff that’s written there.

JD:
Thanks, I really appreciate that. It makes me feel flattered to be mentioned in the company of such great bloggers.
In fact, those are the same people that I would have put in my 5 thinkers lists-so looks like you beat me to the punch on that one, huh? LOL.
Seriously, give me a few days and we’ll see what we can do..

[...] from what I understand some of them think the same of me. I have been nominated by my good friend JD at Blacksinbusiness.org for the thinking blog award. It was a sort of meme that was started by ilker at The Thinking Blog. [...]
