Update: Listen to the segment here. I was joined by fellow bloggers, Michael Fauntroy, and Brandon Whitney. We discussed Barack Obama's youth vote issues in Iowa, Mychal Bell's plea deal, a triflin black firefighter from Baltimore who faked a noose hanging, and the unfortunate case of two college students who decided to rob a bank to pay for their tuition.

Even though I have been absent from my blog for 2 months a bit, I will be on NPR's News and Notes Blogger's Roundtable today. To find out what time the show airs in your area check out
npr.org. I have been a fan of the host, Farai Chideya, since 1996 when I devoured her first book Don't Believe the Hype: Fighting Cultural Misinformation About African Americans.
Also, you can check out my first session on NPR's News and Notes Blogger's Roundtable from October 3, with fellow bloggers Leon Scott and Casey Lartigue. We talked about white guilt, the future of black men, and a new dresscode at Morehouse College.
