I chose to analyze Ebonyjet.com, which is the website for Ebony the Magazine. This website includes a lot of different subjects that you can look at. It's subjects include: Politics and Perspectives, Art and Culture, Entertainment, Multimedia, Tech, Blog, Living, Magazine, and Shop. Each subject has sub-categories that apply to each. This website includes articles about African American living and news, as well as general global news. The website focuses on the lives of African Americans. The magazine includes articles like, "What does black sound like?" which discussed the sound of the current African American music. In an interview with the rapper Lupe Fiasco about what black music sounds like, he said, "Black music is the Black experience in America"(Ebony Magazine). In another issue of the magazine, they have an article which discusses the aftermath of Don Imus' comments about the University of Rutgers' Woman's basketball team, when he called them "Nappy-Headed Hos." They discussed the changes in language in the current media era. Referring to Imus' use of "Nappy-Headed Hos," Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest stated, "You have to get to the root of the problem and eradicate it"(Ebony Magazine). The website has a lot of great commentary of the African American language and culture.
