Blackbird – Controversial or Useful?
Posted on December 8th, 2008 by admin in Domain News | 8 Comments »
A new browser called Blackbird catering for the African American community has been recently made available to the public. The browser is built on top of Mozilla technology and makes it easier for African Americans to discover relevant content on the web and interact with other members of the African American community online by sharing stories, news, comments and videos via the browser.
Considering I hail from Australia where issues of race are not as prominent as in the US, I find it interesting that a post about Blackbird on TechCrunch has stirred a lot of emotion from various parties arguing whether the release of this software is controversial or not.
What is your opinion? Does the browser cater to a niche or is it really so controversial.
Interestingly, it is another representation of misdirected branding efforts as the browser is branded as Blackbird yet the domain name used as a front for the domain name is Blackbirdhome.com. Blackbird.com points to a network consulting services firm.

Highly controversial. I don’t think I would want to access a browser that was uniquely designed to whites. That seems like a step backwards in our efforts to move forward. I’m actually suprised by this development.
Seems like a bit extreme a stereotype to think black people as a whole browse differently than other people imho.
Honestly, seems like something which was designed intentionally just for a lot of linkbait.
I think it’s great for black people. I’m white and the whole idea of it being a step back in time is wrong. Too much of black history has been stolen from them and and new identities of who they are as a people have to come forth so they can change their future. This isn’t something that’s taking anything from anyone which is what everyone seems to be afraid of, it’s just something that’s being given to them. It’s not racism. Get over the fact that someone is getting something and your not. If nothing is being taken from you shouldn’t have negative feelings about something being given to someone else.
Honestly….it is segregation. If the African American community is so much different and need their own separate things such as t.v channels, browsers, blah blah why do African Americans always pull the race card as if they want to be created equal. Truth is African Americans are the MOST racist group of them all and want to be the superior group..just like how it works in the animal kingdom…
How is this browser (Blackbird) is suppose to give me better access to information on the Internet? It’s been my experience most people customize browsers for their individual needs. I think this is a bad idea and that will send the wrong message.
Sounds like reverse discrimination if you asked me. How are we suppose to get over the segregation issue if the same people who complain when the whites (or anyone else) do it are doing it themselves. Try starting one called White***** and see what happens. This stuff really gets to me. If you want equality, then practice it. I get there are still issues, but this is definitely a step backward.
I believe it is divisive. We should be working to eradicate anything that caters to one group more than another not encourage it.
