About Negroplease.com

"You feel you've lost something and you want it back" - Rilo Kiley, Accidental Death [buy the album]

Negroplease.com is the personal online space of Jason Toney.

Negroplease.com is often a journal, sometimes a traditional weblog, but mostly the place I come to to dump all the internal chatter.

Negroplease.com talks about music, television, movies, books, blogs and the news that interests me. There's a tendency to talk about portrayals of race in pop culture. No apologies are made.

Negroplease.com is not a political blog, a -pundit, or your negro tour guidebook. You can, however, Rent A Negro if you so choose.

Negroplease.com isn't the same as  negrophile.com. George, and I are not the same person. . .or are we?

Negroplease.com would like to dispel the myth that all negro blogs look alike.

Negroplease.com generally gives nicknames to the real folks mentioned. I don't want your mom googling and finding out that you did a little toot toot when you should've been all beep beep.

Negroplease.com began in January of 2002 as a way for me to improve my writing skills and get out a lot of the pent up emotions I'd been working with. It's also become a pretty complete record of what's been going on with me since then.

Negroplease.com began on blogger , has run on  movabletype and now is housed on typepad.

Negroplease.com, almost since it's inception, has opened every post with a song lyric. I don't know why except that I can't write unless there's music playing.

Negroplease.com's posts themselves are written most often using performancing. Edits are done right in typepad.

Negroplease.com tracks it's stats with sitemeter. You can see how we're doing here.

Negroplease.com will kick your ass if you cross it.

Ya heard?
