I remember that one black webmaster forum. I'd go there from time to time to drum up business for my black sites. My stuff was constantly attacked for being racist as well as myself. Not to mention, there really aren't as many black webmasters as white webmasters, so, it was pretty dead, and 1 out of 3 posts was about rap, blunts, or puttin caps in asses. Then, the other posts were links to stolen porn--the very porn they were promoting. It was a zoo. Just like the hood. You can't take the "typical" hood mentality and apply that to a real business, despite how many times you've seen it done in the movies. Not to mention all the E Thugs who threaten to take you out. It's just one big joke.
Webmastering shouldn't be a black or white thing, but if you try to make it a black thing, it's going to be inherently flawed and fail: much like the black panther party or black planet, or kid n play.
just my two cents & I've been around a good while.
