Willy-Nilly Around The Internet
By Avery | September 23, 2007
Not to be morbid, but we’re gonna start with a list of b-and c- level Black celebrities who have died with little media recognition. In some of these cases, I was flat-out surprised. Here’s me wondering why I haven’t heard from them, assuming that they’ve decided to stay out of the limelight. More than I knew, I guess.
The other thing that surprises me is how many of them died from AIDS or AIDS-related complications.
Here’s an informational site about Black Cowboys - and I ain’t talkin about Terrell Owens ‘nem.
So the most confusing thing about the whole Jena 6 protest this week was the sign pictured at left. They stood for us? What? How? That’s all I wanna know. How did they stand for us?

So, growing up out here in the West, working and playing around horses, etc. as much as I have, and attending the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo every year as I do, I’ve come to appreciate the NWSS&R’s MLK, Jr. Rodeo - seen here: http://www.nationalwestern.com/nwss/home/index.asp?rpg=/nwss/tickets/descriptions.asp - as something truly special. There’s quite a history there (with the black cowboy), and most folks are painfully unaware of it.
