I guess black people surf the internet differently?

I seriously don't understand what the point of this concept is.

Maybe the concept itself is the point. Maybe these particular black Americans want to further segregate themselves from other races by creating their own bug-ridden browser. Maybe someone just wanted to make money based on a controversial topic. If that's the case, it worked. I mean can you imagine if they came out with a "White" web browser (and no Firefox doesn't count because a lot of white people use it) with a "white" search and "white" news ticker.... LOL

Are you kidding me? This actually makes me a little mad.

What's the first thing you think of when you hear the word racism? For most, it's "something against blacks because they're black."

Creating a browser for black people, by black people means that they likely did not consider the input or involvement of non-black people in the development of this product which means they discriminated by race.

And it's so true about the white browser thing, if there were a white tv network or a white browser, people would go nutty over it and say you can't do it.


Grrrrrrr

I don't see the big deal. It's more like marketing I think.

Not sure what that is? I keep trying to make out what all of those white lines are? I just don't see it.
