Katrina tick-tock, pt. 8

Sept. 13: Underground Railroad had some credulity-gap leftovers. GirlGenius takes issue with some middle-class blacks' recent behavior. Kevin R. Scott mulled poverty as a mentality. Iain Jackson of Grim Amusements had a post on race, class and poverty. Dell Gines said he respected the president's admission of responsibility for federal failures. (Culture Kitchen immediately raised its hand with other questions.) How'd We Get from the Pyramids to the Projects passed along a Rosa Clemente essay. Dar Kush flipped through Nostradamus Geographic. Professor Kim's News Notes had a roundup (and a plan to be in Buffalo today). J's Theater informed readers of a Harlem fund-raiser Sunday; earlier in the week, he had a great post on HBCUs in need. Nappy Forty was not happy about her neighbors. Essential post? Mississippi blogger My Hard Knock Life's "My Mind." Harold M. Clemens offered sympathy for Wolf Blitzer. Second essential post? Whitewashing the Black Storm: We Are Watching's "Kudos to Local Volunteers; Update on Astrodome."  

Elsewhere/otherwhen: Abeni at And Still IRise posted a "Cosby Show" reunion picture. Feminist African Sister wanted to eat her fries in peace, but also spoke about weight and body image issues. GlyphRich hipped us to a new Keith Knight book. Gina of Gina's Rantspot had a column beginning in a Chicago newspaper. Sleepless in the Sudan shared an account of African Union beef with Sudanese rebels. And We Shall March did me a solid favor in linking to some Ralph Ellison-Irving Howe exchanges. African Bullets & Honey claimed there was no worse gig than being a broke doctoral student in Monaco. The Other Side of Africa said: Who says Africa is poor? Angry Black Bitch called Katie Couric, um, off-sides. New Leadership Blog's Christopher Arps gave his take on the National Black Republican Association board resignations. Small Hands outlined her feelings on religion. The award-winning Daily Views, Pop Culture, Rants and News' Humanity Critic imagined writing romance novels (now that's "As Good As It Gets").  JW Richard of Mandrake Society had thoughts on gender roles and  fostering community. Larry Lyons Jr. went on indefinite hiatus. Seasoned gave his take on domestic violence in SGL relationships.
