Another Black Conservative's second anniversary

Today marks the second anniversary of Another Black Conservative.  My, how time flies.  It seems like yesterday when I decided to get off my duff and start speaking out.


The last year of doing this blog was a difficult one.  Real time demands kept me from blogging for days on end.  Throughout the those days, I constantly ached to take to the keyboard.  Thankfully, things are under control now and I am pushing hard to get back up to my regular pace.


I would like to thank a few of my top referrers for all the traffic they have sent my way over the last year. 

The Right Scoop

Pundit and Pundette

Legal Insurrection

Expose the Media

Frugal Cafe

Urgent Agenda

Booker Rising

Texas 4 Palin

Just a Conservative Girl

Doug Ross

Grandpa John

No Sheeples Here

American Power

I would also like to give a special thanks to both Sam from The Last Tradition and Tim from Left Coast Rebel for checking in on me when my blogging slacked off.  You guys are good friends and a real inspiration.  Thanks!


I also want to thank all of you readers who have followed ABC over the past two years.  Just like an early anniversary present, I reached 500 followers just the other day.  Thank you all so much.


Now without further delay, lets get back to blogging.  Peace out!

Getting back in the game

Dear followers;

Once again I must ask your forgiveness for my absence. Between work, renovations and a slew of other things, I have been unable to blog consistently.  I cannot tell you how much I have missed sharing my thoughts with all of you.  I tried to come back before my schedule would allow and the results were less than stellar.

Well, I am back now and will be trying mightily to get back up to speed. There are just so many things to catch up on and speak out on; I hardly know where to begin.  I have decided to just pick up the ball and start with what is going on.   If there was a topic I missed, please leave a little comment here and I will put together a quick post letting you my opinions.

I feels good to get back in the game.

Mea Culpa

Dear Readers;

I owe you all a big apology. For the last two weeks content here on Another Black Conservative has been down right shabby! There have been days without posts, days with only one post and major issues missed. Please forgive me.

My life in real time has been explosively busy. Three issues are eating up my time like the Cookie Monster on crack. First, there is the unexpected up tick in my photography business. I am easily exceeding my normal monthly average for assignments. While this is excellent news for my wallet, it is bad news for my blog. Assignments come before blogging.

Issues number two is renovating two rooms in my home for a long-term houseguest. It is not major work, but it has to be completed by Tuesday. This is where a major chunk of my blogging time has gone.

Finally, issue #3 is I am hunting for a second car. This has to be the biggest pain in the neck. When did buying used cars become such a project? There use to be a time when you could easily buy a used car without having to finance it. Today it seems like the only decent used cars all have price tags that require financing. Sorry, but I ain’t doing that. Given the touch and go situation of our economy, the last thing I need is another loan to pay off.

So, Dear Readers, please stick with me for just a few more days as I get these three issues under control. I promise to knock your socks off with the postings after that.

A Year of Blogging: Another Black Conservative's first anniversary

A year ago today I dipped my toe into the conservative blogosphere. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that today I would actually have such a respectable following. I am truly humbled.

I started this blog because, like so many of you, I felt a need to speak out about the crazy path our nation has taken. I wanted to use my blog to vent my frustrations, keep up with current political events and to provide another voice to the chorus of black conservatives.

I took my inspiration from Kevin Jackson of The Black Sphere and Adrienne Ross from Motivation: Truth. From Kevin Jackson I learned to speak my mind without fear and Adrienne Ross taught me to speak with conviction. Thanks to you both.

Speaking of thanks, I owe huge thanks to both Robert Stacy McCain from The Other McCain and Shay Riley from Booker Rising. Their early linkage to Another Black Conservative helped tremendously to put me on the map. I simply cannot thank the two of them enough for the early boost. I also want to thank everyone on my e-referrer list for daily hits you send my way. 

One of the great rewards I received this year in blogging was friendship. I have made friends with some fantastic people. Stogie from Saber Point (who helped create my banner after the redesign). Left Coast Rebel (who challenges me to keep my traffic up), Namaste from My Voice on the Wings of Change, Adrienne Ross from Motivation: Truth, Nikki from According to Nikki, Liz at Expose the Media, Samuel from The Last Tradition, Carol from No Sheeples Here, Mary Baker and Soloman from the Wisdom of Soloman.

Finally, I want to share with you something I learned this year in blogging. In my very first post I asked; “Where is our Daniel Hannan”? That person who would stand up and call out the crazy spending in Washington. Well, my friend I found the answer and the answer is you! Everyday Americans simply standing up and calling out Washington’s recklessness on both sides of the aisle. You have effected more real change than this nation has seen in 50 years. So, keep standing up and speaking out, soon your hopes will bring about a true everlasting change.
