Description:
The presidency of Barack Obama will have far-reaching ramifications for politics, society, and even black identity in America. Websites such as BlackWeb2.0.com, the Blackbird browser, and a myriad of bloggers both target and ally themselves with the black blogosphere, often referred to as the "Afrosphere". The question must be asked: In the new Age of Obama, will an "afro-centric web" begin to fade into, simply, "the web"?

In the new Age of Obama, will an "afro-centric web" begin to fade into, simply, "the web"?
Nope. Given that we are not post racial, and Blacks rely on Black spaces and places in the digital space to see themselves and to talk openly and freely about a variety of topics including race, we won't fade or become a homogenized community.
