What's your favorite blog post from 2009?

Hey, this year I'm hoping that my blog will win the 2009 Be'chol Lashon Media Awards "for excellence in reporting on global Judaism."

I have to choose three blog posts that represent "Memoirs of a Jewminicana" but I'm stuck between these five. Which three should I submit?

#1: "A Video Response to 'Where are you from?'"

What I wish I could tell people when they ask me, "Where are you from?"

#2: “One more stupid comment, one more stupid question and I’m slapping someone!”

Why I'm sick of getting "the Spanish Inquisition" every time I walk into a Jewish setting just because I'm a Jew of color.

#3: “The Invisible Woman”

When curiosity overwhelms good manners because...you're the person with the most melanin in the room.

#4: “The Mikvah and ‘Black’ Hairstyles”

Why going to the mikvah with your "nappy hair" isn't all it's cracked up to be!

#5: “Sighting: The Black Jew”

What a seven-year-old white Jewish girl thinks when she spots a black Jew.
