African American Opinion Publisher, African American Political Pundit, In The News
I'm proud to say this blog has received national and international coverage and recognition. The Washington Post 's Antonia Vargas has noted that African American Political Pundit.com along with Anderson at Large , Field Negro , Jack and Jill Politics are the more prominent blogs in the growing Afrosphere and are must-go-to sites.

Also in The Washington Post Darryl Fears points out "The new black revolution, as singer Gil Scott-Heron famously predicted, is not being televised - It is raging online. More HERE
Check out what other news outlets are saying about African American Political Pundit.com
BBC World Service :
Blogger LN Rock of africanamericanpoliticalpundit.com predicts the blogosphere will have a "significant" role in deciding the election in November. "It tells the story when you have 120 bloggers coming to the convention," he says. "Millions of people listen, watch and hear what the bloggers say. There is a disenchantment with the traditional media." He spares the BBC his criticism, saying we are "creative media." Cheers, LN.
NewAmericanMedia.org :
Another blog that was given credentials to attend the Convention, African American Political Pundit , sites its owner as “an old school brother who gives his thoughts, opinions and insights on political and social issues of the day.” The blog is shared with various other contributors who write about social issues affecting their community.
Chicago Sun Times :
Another police beat-down of a black kid. Another case caught on tape. How many don't get caught on tape? There is something going on with this folks, there is a "national beat down of the black community" and no one in the civil rights community is saying much of anything.
NPR Bloggers Roundtable
What does it mean to be a black blogger? Farai Chideya takes a closer look at the "Blogging While Brown" conference in Atlanta, Ga. Plus, a new study suggests "sounding black" can affect your salary. Our bloggers join in an experiment to see if they can decipher race by voice alone. The panel includes Danielle Belton of Black Snob , L.N. Rock — also known as the African American Political Pundit — and Richard Graves of DJ Black Adam .
PBS NewsHour:
"I don't get the excuses they make. It's almost insulting. All they'd have to do was do the outreach," said blogger L.N. Rock, known online as the African American Political Pundit . "It's almost as extreme as 'we couldn't find any black people for that position.'"
The rhetorical shots fired at the Democratic Party have quickly escalated. Rock, and Francis L. Holland, who runs the Francis Holland Blog , are two vocal representatives of the black blog organization known as the Afrosphere who feel strongly that the blogger pool has been skewed. Both likened the Democratic National Convention Committee's credentialing process to the Jim Crow laws that mandated segregation in blog entries and press releases sent to readers.
Politico.com :
Is DNC Excluding Black bloggers? Since the Democratic National Committee announced its state blogger corps two weeks ago, critics have been charging that the selection process is flawed. The group of 55 bloggers, they contend, is not diverse enough. While the DNC says race wasn't a factor, the Washington Post reports that some aren't satisfied. L.N. Rock, a Silver Spring-based information technology professional and founder of the African American Political Pundit blog , likens this "black shut-out" in the State Corps to an "I'm sick-and-tired-of-being-sick-and-tired" Fannie Lou Hamer moment. The civil rights activist and Mississippian challenged her state's all-white delegation at the 1964 Democratic convention.
Atlanta Journal Constitution :
[S]ome members of the self-titled “afrosphere” — blogs written or published by African Americans — are angry that the “State Blogger Corps” appears to be mostly white, particularly since the party appears poise to nominate a black candidate, Barack Obama, for president. “OK, folks, black bloggers to the back of the bus,” read the headline on the African American Political Pundit blog.
Dallas Morning News: Democrats consider affirmative action a cornerstone of their national agenda, but some minority bloggers say the party isn’t practicing what it preaches. But some members of the self-titled “afrosphere” — blogs written or published by African Americans — are angry that the “State Blogger Corps” appears to be mostly white, particularly since the party appears poise to nominate a black candidate, Barack Obama, for president. “OK, folks, black bloggers to the back of the bus,” read the headline on the African American Political Pundit blog.
The Washington Post:
Black community increasingly protective of Obama - Smiley "did a disservice to the black community," said L.N. Rock, the blogger known as the African American Political Pundit. He noted that Smiley billed the New Orleans gathering as an event for the people. But while the people agreed with Obama's compromise of dispatching his wife, Michelle, to speak in his stead, Smiley balked. "He should have been hammered for that," Rock said.
Liberal Oasis Radio:
Today at 10 AM ET, The LiberalOasis Radio Show was broadcast on WHMP-AM in Western MA. My special guests were the African-American Political Pundit who discussed the upcoming primaries in Virginia and Maryland,

Gov. Martin Omalley and AAPP at the DNC Convention.
I had the opportunity to talk for a few with DNC Chairman Howard Dean , while at one of the DNC sponsored bloggers event.
Congressman Danny Davis and AAPP
I had an opportunity to talk with Congressman Davis about legislation he has sponsored regarding HBCU's and the Second Chance act.
AAPP and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino . This is my hometown Mayor (although I live in Maryland now). The Mayor has really stepped it up and has changed Boston for the better regarding race matters. Menino is serving his fourth term as Mayor of the City of Boston. The first Italian-American Mayor of Boston, he was elected to his first term back in November 2, 1993,
Here I am (along my new Barack Obama shirt on my shoulder) with Political Consultant and TV Political Analyst James Carville. I think we took this picture after he ripped the Democrats .
Speaking of Political Analyst, Oliver Willis (above) is one political analyst and blogger that I respect big time. This brotha (Oliver Willis) of Oliver Willis.com deserves more play from the major media outlets. I'd love to se and hear him as a guest analyst on CNN, NBC, ABC, or hell even Fox News so that he could give them some hell. Oliver Willis is another DNCC credentialed blogger.
Speaking of bloggers I respect, check out Adrianne (Black Women in Europe ) George (middle) and Shawn (Dallas South Blog ) (Right) Williams. They both a great bloggers who have just re-designed their blogs. They both did a great job at the DNC Convention.
OK, so you see my bald head. Yes, I took my hair all off, as I do every six months or so. I'm pictured here at the DNC Covention with Journalist Dewayne Wickham who writes for USA Today . This brother is no joke, I really enjoy reading his articles.
