Where Are the Black Tech Bloggers?
March 15, 2008 11:55pm
first off let me say this. As a black person who is not a geek, I have to say loudly that NO! black people are not where they should be in the tech, social and cultural fields, they are way behind.the solutions to those problems will not be found sxsw panels and certainly not here. Black folks in their struggle to survive are not doing the innovative steps needed that will truly make us players in the future. and i am not talking about a few reporters/bloggers on the sidelines. I have no more to say on that front.
I took the time to post because I wanted to say a few words to the writer of this article. I cannot prove it,but I believe the web site mentioned above called "NiggaKnowTechnology.com" is NOT a black site, but a minstrel, blackface site written by whites, for whites to debase and ridicule black people. its NOT black culture, its WHITE culture at its most psychotic. its part of the anti-black hipster culture. a new mlk birthday tradition around college campuses is for white students have little parties where people are in blackface. there are a lot of al jolson wannable sites and areas such as this one: niggaspace, urbandictionary, joel.net/EBONICS, loren-feldman/technigga controversy(i wouldnt be surprised if loren-feldmen wasnt really behind nkt.com) pimp-ho sites, the "lootie" guy etc. its bad enough that the white press have pointed to some of these sites as "references", but for black folks to start posting on these sites is completely pathetic! its desperate behavior similar to black folks who copied white minstrels of over a hundreds years ago. that some black "intellectuals" are so gormless as to not recognize a black face site is one thing, but i find it hard to believe the white author didnt recognize an obvious blackface site. i found him to be disingenuous when chastises nkt.com for calling gay '.... "faggots" and asian girls "sleepyheads, them oriental, them horizontal pussy having Gochi Gochi Yagatochi bitches."' like its something blacks folks should apologize for when its most likely whites in blackface. I have been on the internet for 17 years now, and i know all the nasty mind games people like to play all too well, and its just not funny anymore.

Hi. first of all, i didnt say that presuming that a black bigot on the net makes you racist, and i didnt say anything about you asking black folks to apologize either. thats evasiveness and redirection. I am saying you knew its not likely to be a black site to begin with and its obvious because you didnt even respond on the existance of blackface kind of sites. i think its just a little dishonest of you not to acknowledge that.
the whites on these sites know they are not talking to black people most of the time and they certainly know the site owner is white.
