Comments on: SxSW 2008: On Loren Feldman and Black Tech Bloggers http://tiffanybbrown.com/2008/03/15/where-are-the-black-tech-bloggers/ A web log about web development and internet culture with frequent detours into other stuff.

It's an online community designed to give black people working in the technology industry and place to network, discuss, and help each other. I am still building out the site, but registration is free and I am already encouraged by my handful of members.

I agree with your comments. When he labeled it the "black tech blogger" then I assumed it had something to do with black people. Not. I guess black comedy? Who knows..

You explained the crux of the problem perfectly. When I originally saw the video I was pissed, but I didn't write about it. I regret that on some level, because I feel like silence is complicity. But this kind of thing tends to just piss me off so much (like you expressed) that in the last few years my way of dealing w/ it has been to just disengage rather than respond, because often responding feels like shouting into the wind and needlessly raising my blood pressure. But your response here is wonderful... I hope the people who need to read it, do, and take it to heart. This is a great post, Tiffany. You explained the crux of the problem perfectly.
