Blackbird, the Browser for Black Folks

Proud to be black!

Blackbird, the browser for black people. Good grief. No, it’s not a “Saturday Night Live” skit. It’s not from The Onion. Somebody came up with and implemented this idea. If you don’t like it, organize a massive Firefox boycott. Or a protest? Isn’t that what the disgruntled do? This will do wonders for race relations. Great idea, guys. Very innovative and cutting edge.

Read reactions here. As I said before, I don’t know why these things happen. I just blog and link (and provide reams of commentary!).

I need a vacation. A Christmas vacation!

Update (12/16): A little birdie told me that the Mozilla Firefox team is not behind Blackbird.

“It was created by a group of black entrepreneurs from the Firefox source code, which anyone can download and change. As such, I think it is unfair to boycott Firefox, since they aren’t behind this absurd concept.”
