Blackbird: African American browser, community, culture, social networking, bookmarking, news, and events

Quote:

Why Download the Blackbird Browser?

Because we know the 20 million African Americans online need tools to build and foster community now more than ever.

Because we know that 85% of African Americans prefer online news and information from the Black perspective.*

Because we know that you are twice as likely to be among the first to discover new trends and use advanced technology compared to the general population.*

I guess this thing isn't supposed to be a joke. The website says its powered by Mozilla. My question is how the hell do you make a browser specifically for black people? Aside from putting "black" in the name and making the color of the browser match their skin color, which they have done, I can't really think of anything. I'd hope that my fellow nubblites can give me some idea of ways they geared Blackbird toward black people. Racist responses are encouraged.

I downloaded this browser. It's just firefox w/ lots of Hiphop bookmarks and some adware. And uninstalling was difficult.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
