President Obama is keeping his ear to the ground.
Recently, he invited a race-based coalition of bloggers, "Blogging While Brown," to meet with Corey Ealons, the White House director of "African-American Media," at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The White House meeting was about ""letting them know we are open and available for conversation -- a two-way conversation."
I can't help but scratch my chin and wonder: would President Obama be willing to have a similar "two-way conversation" with an alliance of bloggers called "Blogging While White" and respond to the concerns of the White community? Maybe he could chat with the leading voices of the White community about their concerns about, hell, I don't know ...
... the evacuation of the Gulf States?
It would certainly be smart politics. 91% of black voters support the Obama administration. In 2008, Obama lost the White vote, and that was before Obamacare, the Gulf Oil Spill, the Wall Street bailouts, and the Tea Party took their toll on his popularity.
To be sure, "structural racism" exists in America: blacks can organize as blacks and advocate black interests while getting invited to the White House by the President of the United States himself. On the other hand, the Tea Party is demonized by the Left and charged with "racism" for no other reason than being appealing to Whites.
Am I the only one who notices this?
So when’s the “blogging while a conservative party” gonna be?
Little RACIST, isn’t it??? Can you IMAGAINE Bush having a “Blogging while WHITE” meeting??? OMG!! NOOSE...meet W’s neck!
I'm free right now, wonder if they need a the White House director of "European-American Media?
I’m more amazed that ANYONE recognizes ANY bloggers as significant.
I mean if you can get past the bad grammar, the failed punctuation and the total lack of content..
I’m sure bloggers are very nice folks.
An inaccurate observation. The Tea Parties appeal to all, not just "Whites."
Only the left is allowed to segregate by color.
That appears to be correct. It seems all the racist organizations that segregate by color are leftists. If there is still a right-wing group like that, I’d like to hear about it.

The 2010 Blogging While Brown conference started today in Washington, DC.
This annual meeting for bloggers of color is a good chance for us to learn from each other’s experiences, get updates on social media, Internet, blogging while meeting and networking with other bloggers in person.
This is the third year for Blogging While Brown, and its founder Gina McNaul -an attorney who blogs about topics related to Black women- has confirmed that 212 bloggers registered this year for the two-days event, which is twice the number of the previous conference held in Chicago in 2009.
BWB started with a blogger’s boot camp held early today at the Martin Luther King Jr. Library with about 23 blogger attending.
After blogging for over two years, I can still learn new things and trust me I did. For instance, I didn’t know about Let me Google that for You, or Kontactr, nor Domai.nr and I had forgotten how useful Delicious can be.
Here is a brief video of Gina McNaul’s presentation.

Oh brother...
Interesting stuff there. I hope they’re not upset that an old white guy bookmarked a link or two....
The only thing “transparent” about the Obama administration
IS it’s racism.
lefty bloggers .....
