Got Blogs About Everything

So there's blogs about traveling and blogs about being black, but now there's a blog about traveling while black!

Yeah, not that surprising, there are blogs about everything now. Anyway, when the Black Traveler reviews Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles there was an interesting line that they dropped in the article: "The waiter took a little longer than expected. He actually skipped us and took another table’s order before ours. It could have been a race thing, but we didn’t let it bother us." I really hope that line was sarcastic as Roscoe's is a soul food place with a mostly African American staff (and a pretty slammin' website . . . slammin'). And yes, I am basing this off of two short videos of the place involving Snoop Dogg, David Beckham, and Larry King.
