Black Planet

Black Planet was a social networking website launched in 1999, aimed primarily at the African American community. It allowed users to create profiles, share content, and connect with others, fostering a sense of community and cultural exchange. The platform featured forums, blogs, and chat rooms, making it one of the early online spaces for African Americans to gather and engage socially and politically. Although it was popular in the early 2000s, it eventually declined with the rise of larger social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Black Planet continues to exist today, offering cultural content and connections.
