So I've been on the blogosphere now (officially) for almost three years. As someone who professionally writes fiction, blogging seemed like a natural segue. It's also been a great way to network with, encourage, and promote fellow artists of color who would otherwise be neglected. Moreover, blogging has been a way to combat the culture of complaining which many people of color have developed here in America. We complain about the absence of color in TV and film. We complain about the whitening of (some of) our musical performers. We complain about the misappropriation of our music, our arts, our cultures, our styles, our slang - you name it, we complain about it.
Complaining is fine. Criticism is healthy. Doing nothing after complaining, however, is unacceptable, and the blogosphere is great for that.
