@Parkington feels sick after eating Japanese seaweed potato ...: Ok now thats not cool. As a graduate of an HBCU I can say I was more than estatic when NCAA 200 FINALLY featured my school (Prairie View A&M University). There are more than 500 Black Colleges and Universities and they get no love like major D1 schools... this is totally different. Its a game that recognizes the little know schools (unless you attended). The SWAC and MEAC are not the end all to Black Colleges... neither is Howard, Morehouse, Spelman, or the T-the U, S-K-E, the G double E TUSKEGEE WOOO WOOO WOOO (Did my first year of College there..sorry). So yes we represented ourselves in an arena where no one else would.
"Black search prioritizes sites that focus on African-American content and information enabling you to find content that is typically buried in most search engines. ..."
Good thing my race is undefined. I'm mixed, more like a "Cafe Latte" race. (also know as black and white)
Good point someone asked what if you make one that's just for whites; and I'm not talking about Aryan BS, but just for your random Caucasian guy, then it would be considered racist.
I find this BlackBird equally racist and actually very divisive.
Who knows there might be a reason behind all of this:
if ( strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Gecko') )
{
if ( strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Firefox') )
{
$browser = 'Mozilla Firefox (Gecko/Firefox)';
}
else if ( strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Blackbird') )
Keep in mind Black people most likely didn't make this and didn't ask for it. The next one will be for Hispanics, the Asians, then one for women, then metrosexuals.
I mean, Microsoft has an ad campaign for why Xbox is better for Hispanics. It's Captialism and micro marketing. The bright ideas white guys come up with I tell ya ...
@Adrian Covert: Then you have to cut them some slack. They clearly are exploiting their blackness. Hmmm, that seems to be the #1 black business these days. I mean, a color scheme and black links, that's actually pretty sad. But I guess its better than selling dope.
It's definitely a bad idea. Pigeonholing yourself ... sad.
So, if I download it, and use it, will it ask me what ethnicity I am before I use it? Will it not allow me to use it if I click "WTF I'M A HUMAN BEING"? It's amazing that anyone would even identify with a browser skin.
Now, if it was a shade of mocha brown, it might suit me just fine ;)
Its ridiculous shit like this that pisses me off and makes me ashamed to be black sometimes. Stop pimping our community with this silly shit and help educate us to narrow the digital divide. We don't need a "special" browser to feel more connected to the web than any other race of people. This is why we cant be taken seriously as a COMPLETE race. I am offended at this. As a Black man in this country I don't need a browser to help my kids find culturally relevant material... its the damn WORLD WIDE WEB... not the Black Web, or White Web or Yellow Web. I want to take this and slap Al Sharp-toon (seriously dude you have a perm and want to be taken seriously) and Jessie Jack-Ass. We have enough issues as is in our community and to fathom that we need "help" in our web-experience is totally insulting and degrading. I am so tired of people marketing to the ignorance and fears of people and we as a people are too fucking stupid to realize and pimp when we see one. I hope that my daughter never ever have to deal with this foolishness when they get older, and I take it as my JOB and RESPONSIBILTY to educate my children beyond cultural bias and ignorance.....
Sorry for the rant, but its shit like this that burns me up. I need to tell my wife (who is Hispanic) that the need the BlackBean browser for the Hispanic community.
and P.S.
FUCK YOU QUANELL X, and Sheila jackson Lee(Houstonians know what I am talking about), you do more harm than good you media pimps and harborers of the Victim mentality.
@Cordfucious the Ubuntu Walker: Yep, there are certain well publicized people from all walks of life who basically make a mockery of culture. Whether it be Jesse Jackson, or Shaka Khan, or Fred Phelps, or Kim Jong Il.
Either you act as a person and a citizen, or you're a dividing agent that is part of the problem preventing us from creating a society that is basically culturally blind and tolerant.
You sure that isn't 40oz, Inc? Obviously someone was tipping a few too many back to have a discussion so deep as to why one would need a racially profiled web browser.
Just don't get me started on how racist billiard games are.

Well. At least this should make searches for "Afro Whores" quicker and pain free.

Yeah, nice way to perpetuate stupid race/ethnic-oriented epithets. But I bet you'll say, "Hey, I married a Hispanic woman, therefore I can say it".
You might start by not using such terms even in a rant against racism.
