Looking for good news ain’t easy

I spent a good part of last night into early this morning looking for good news in the Black community to post here as I always do for Wednesdays. While my news feeds under ‘racism’ and other related topics have been blowing up, all of my positive feeds have been somewhat bare for the past few weeks.

The truth is that good news is going on all the time in the Black community. Oftentimes it just does not get reported. This is why I often look to other Black-oriented blogs out there to see what others are talking about. Not surprising in most cases THE PEOPLE (not mainstream media hacks) still find it easy to follow suit with what MSM presents to us. While this in of itself is not always a bad thing, it serves as further proof that bad news holds more weight in our everyday conversations (for the racially-sensitive out there, I am referring to ALL FOLKS in that last part, not just Blacks, capeesh???).

As long as I am contributing here at BlackInformant.com, I will always set aside a day to exclusively present good news in the ‘hood. So if you find posting activity on Wednesdays tend to be a bit lighter than normal, you now know why.

In the meantime, you can check out the Success section on this site to see past postings related to our success as a people. Ebony Magazine and Black Enterprise are also very good sources.
