Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

The wingnut’s heads are exploding because headlines say “President Obama rallies black supporters at lawmakers gala” claiming it’s racist and why does he identify as black when his mother was white?
I say…Don’t blame President Obama for the rules white folks made up. White folks rule said one drop of black blood makes a person black. Now you don’t wanna own this bish. Own it got d*mmit!
they are ridiculous and need to go somewhere and sit down.
Obama to black leaders: Fire up against GOP surge
President tries to reprise organizing that helped him to 2008 victory
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama came out swinging against Republicans in a fiery campaign-season speech to black lawmakers Saturday night, urging them to “guard the change” he was delivering with the kind of organizing that propelled the civil rights movement.
With the GOP hoping to regain power on Capitol Hill in the November election, Obama described his adversaries as “a crowd … that wants to do what’s right politically, instead of what’s right — period.” He never named the opposing party, referring to it as “the other side.”
“I need everybody here to go back to your neighborhoods, and your workplaces, to your churches, and barbershops, and beauty shops. Tell them we have more work to do. Tell them we can’t wait to organize. Tell them that the time for action is now,” Obama said in his remarks.
The words of America’s first black president showed a deliberate effort to recapture the enthusiasm that had helped him win the White House in 2008, after polls showed African- Americans much less likely to vote than whites this year.
“The last election was a changing of the guard — now we need to guard the change,” Obama said.
