Race Wars by Browser

|

This is just so absurd that I had to post it. I can't believe that this exists. How....in the WORLD...can you bring a simple tool like an internet browser into a race-specific context?

Blackbird: a browser for black people

Whitebird: a browser for white people

If you need a browser made specifically for your race (no matter what that race is), you also need to stay in your house, stop talking to anyone, just keep to yourself, and don't interact with anyone ever again. This is probably the most inane thing I've ever heard of, and the one thing that keeps running through my head is a statement from an old episode of Law & Order where Ben Stone says to Shambala Green:

"By infantilizing your own people you are virtually guaranteeing that it will happen again! You want to know who the cause of racism is these days? Take a good look in the mirror."

Couldn't have said it better myself, and a race-specific browser is just about as good a picture of infantalization as I can imagine. Please hear me - I don't use the above quote to say that the cause of racism these days is a specific race but rather those who would inject racism where it need not exist and promote tools to keep this mindset in the forefront of a society inundated by victimization...in this case, those who believe that an internet browser somehow helps any community by being race-specific.

Un. Be. Lievable.
