The correct answer is BlackPlanet
So why is this answer correct? : BlackPlanet com first debuted to the world in 1999 as an online social network specifically catered to Black Americans. Based on the relative success of its sister site AsianAve, BlackPlanet served up editorial content and message boards aimed at Black people across the country. The site took its name from the 1990 Public Enemy album “Fear of a Black Planet,” which one music critic called “the ‘Sgt. Pepper’s’ of hip-hop.”
