No, lowing, you are the one with no argument to make.

Bring me ONE example of something that IS marketed for the 'white community' or the 'anglo-american community' or whatever, AND that HAS been called racist, AND that ISN'T a cover for some white-supremacist nut-job, and I'll concede.

Lowing, why didn't you make any noise about this browser, clearly aimed at "morally" wrong people:

http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/07/11/po … n-browser/

Maybe this one:

http://missamericakids.com/

Which promotes a negative self image for young girls.

No?

Just a black web browser.... 'That' we shouldn't have.

Its rediculous and this bs double standard and "poor me" attitude needs to stop! Blacks have an equal opportunity to improve themselves just like everybody else in this country. . . . . Its not like it was in the "old days" so grow up! and show some sense of accountability!

There are no products marketed for "whites only", all that mentality went out with the civil rights movement, as it should. Now it is a simple question, how about just answering it, instead of dodging it!!

Do you honestly believe whites can get away with this sort of marketing and it fly below the radar as a non-issue?? See if you can be honest.

Did I say 'whites only'? NO I DID NOT.

Just as BlackBird does not say 'blacks only'.

I think this is the whole problem isn't it lowing - where we see 'black community' and understand that a 'community' is not limited by race, you see 'black community' and think 'black only'.

There is a difference.

Your 'community' is NOT defined by your race.

It IS defined by the people you choose to associate with - often due to some common interest or other.

Keep the people divided... here's your browser and here's ours... I don't blame black people or white people... Just the marketing genius asshat that thought this would be a good idea to target market black folks...   If i was black i would be offended by this ploy...

edit:  I was just thinking... is there a filter on this browser and does it limit what black people can see...who makes the call on what content is relivant?   What is the advantage to using this browser?

Could you define what the Irish Culture is even without being part of it?  Or at least a little generalization (oh, a bad word).

Again, for the same reasons, no. But, also again, I can tell you what it's not - it's not purely defined by whether one is Irish or not.

I can tell you what the white, lower-middle-class, 30-something that went to uni, is currently semi-self-(un)employed, lives in a shared house on a british, semi-council, housing estate ('cos we don't have council estates any more, thanks Mrs Thatcher) culture is like, if you want.

This county is built on the principles of freedom.  The first Amendment covers a person's right to make a web browser marketed toward the African-American community.  Why are you all trying to infringe on his freedom?

I think Lowing has been trying to get people to see the double standard that exists.  If I, as a "white" person were to design a web browser targeted at Whites, I would be ridiculed and labeled as a rascist.  You all know this is true.  If I did the same thing for the Irish American's, I would probably not be labeled a racist.  The difference is simply that by designing a web browser, or anything, targeted at such a broad group as blacks, is exactly the same as me designing one for whites.  The problem is one is labled a racist, and the other is not.  To answer all those saying that they want an example, do you really think someone besides wing-nuts are going to design and market something like that?

The reason I was asking Scorpion0x17  to define black culture was to prove a point that there is no real black culture.  There is inner city culture, Ivory Coast culture, southern culture, and even Minnesota culture.  To say something is for the black culture is really quite ignorant and seperatist.

I disagree, and think the reason that it is different is simply down to the fact that blacks are a minority. It would also be fine to have a Spanish browser or Irish browser.

It's easier to target a broad group of blacks, Spanish, Irish, etc. It isn't easy to target a broad group of whites without segregation, due to the sheer numbers who identify themselves with white culture.

This is why you don't have a WhiteDove browser.

This is why you have black radio, tv channels and web browsers and for some reason there are people who can't accept that (not targeting you with this comment).

I do no think there is a white culture, nor a black culture.  I cannot define white culture any more than anyone here can define black culture.  This is simply because neither one exists.  Therefore, in my mind, it is a double standard to be ok with someone developing a black targeted thing, but not ok with a white targeted thing.  Neither one is right.
