I’ve only just started reading Angry Black Bitch. I think I added her to my reader about a month ago, but forgot to visit the site in the real web, so I read her too fast. I always fly through my reader. She manages to think deeply without being boring. Not many political bloggers are saying so much with such a strong voice.
Not that I always agree. Or always disagree. I appreciate the way she writes, and I become better when I read better writers than me — many and often. I wonder how many people miss out on good stuff because of political bullshit? She’s far left of me, but I probably won’t die if I read it. (Just like knowledge of a scientific concept doesn’t have to turn you morally inside out.)
Anyway, I have come back to I Call Bullshit several times in the last few days, and also recommend her post on the Jena Six.
A strong voice like this is memorable. How does she do that? Who else does it well? In fiction? In non-fiction? In the blogosphere?
Most importantly: How can we learn to do that?
I'm Taylor. This is my classroom. There used to be a "real" teacher behind this blog, but she nagged me all the time about not saying this and not saying that. ~all she ever did was type anyway, since my fingers are stuck together~ So I've taken over.
Yes, I'm an imitation Barbie knock-off doll. What of it? Barbie's got nothing on me! Let me take you to school.
Wow, after following your links and reading the post and comments, it kinda makes my edu-blog-o-sphere observations seem a bit lame.
I feel the same way. But the real world of race relations and injustices is the one we’re educating students for.
