Browsers are just popping up from everywhere these days. And today we see Blackbird
a new browser built on top of Mozilla technology, which would help the African Americans to discover relevant content on the web and to interact with other African American communities online by sharing stories, news, comments and videos via the browser.
Don’t you feel that it sound something close to Flock the social browser?
The browser is pre-configured to get relevant news related to the African American community via Google and links African American community favorite online TV services such as UptownLiveTV, NSNewsTV, DigitalSoulTV and ComedyBanksTV.
Mike Street has penned a complete review of the browser.
But what I think this is creating segmentation for users of different communities, which could be taken positively and negatively as well. In my personal opinion we are a global community not communities by race gender or ethnicity in the online world, so why segment.
What do you think is this segmentation good or bad?
Great info in this post. I thought I would drop by again and leave the link I mentioned in my last comment.> “The Arbitrage Conspiracy Report” is our first piece of hard hitting Freeline content. It is 25 pages of awesome information related to Adwords and CPA.

I just blogged about this tonight .. not only is it a pathetic excuse for a firefox mod .. it’s sad how the black culture continues to promote racism and it is tolerated simply because they are black … http://themonetizedblogger.com/2008/12/web-promotion/blackbird-browser-what-retard-thought-this-up/

OK SO HOW THE HELL DOES ANYONE KNOW IF I AM AN AA SURFING ON THE WWW? LETS SEE AM I WRITING IN EBONICS OR RAPPERS DELIGHT? WELL I AM NOT AA AND I’M NOT GOING TO TELL U WHAT I AM BECAUSE IT DOESN’T MATTER! I LIKE SOUL, R AND B AND EVEN HIP/HOP RAP. IF U WANT RACISM TO BE A THING OF THE PAST AND HAVE TOLERANCE AND LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER NO MATTER WHAT COLOR WE ARE ON THE OUTSIDE THEN U MUST STOP THIS SHIT. OF COURSE U SHOULD APPRECIATE UR CULTURE BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN U MUST ONLY EMPHASIZE THIS. CELEBRATE IT BUT DON’T MAKE IT AN EXCLUSIVE ONLY CLUB. THE CONTRIBUTION FROM THE AA CULTURE IN AMERICA IS QUITE EVIDENT AND WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE ITS IMPACT ON OUR CULTURE……FOR BETTER AND FOR WORSE.JUST AS THE WHITE-ANGLO CULTURE MAKES CONTRIBUTIONS IT ALSO HAS ITS FAULTS. SO LETS LEAVE THE COLOR BEHING AND REMEMBER THAT INSIDE WE ALL BLEED RED.
PEACE AN LOVE

In my honest opinion, this browser just serves to give a few black people some green, while housing or encasing the black population.
There are a ton of themes for firefox that could be considered “black” i guess, which would be what I’d recommend to the black community…customize and theme what you use to your liking.
I’m white, us soldier, pagan and don’t judge you at all…until something happens. Like when a white/black man attempts to steal something or hurt someone…then I’ll judge that person…that person alone.
