    Shit is weak. After I installed it AVG identified it as a virus and then I got a popup box from blackbird telling me that it had detected a piece of discriminatory software on my computer. To top it off when I went to the blackbird homepage to see what the deal was I clicked support and the page wouldn't load.

    No, I get it..b, 21b, 21I'm just sayin' cause I have about 6 friends (not related) who are Native and belong to different tribes that have Blackbird as their lastname.

    Black and bird are Native words?
  • DORDOR Two Ron Toe 9,899 Posts
    Well, a good portion of Native American names consist of animal/birds used with colour. Depending on the tribe and the language used, they translate into English names like "blackbird".b, 21b, 21With this browser being based on Mozilla. I don't know why they didn't just call it Blackfox...

  • DORDOR Two Ron Toe 9,899 Posts
    I'm just saying if it's based on Mozilla and the Blackbird ui looks exactly like Firefox. Why use bird and not just Blackfox. I guess maybe they thought they would get sued somehow...b, 21b, 21b, 21I'm also guessing this was really put together by some corp looking to market to African Americans. But wasn't blackbird a slave term of some sort? It's been a long time since my grade 12 history class. Something to do with slave ships?

    If races can have different resources on the web, ie., Blackplanet (for Black People and White women), Asian Avenue (for Asian women and White dudes), Soulstrut (for Euroman lurkers), doesn't it make sense that we be segregated when browse the web also?b, 21b, 21For real. Think about that.

    i was saying that the idea is insane -- not sure if you got that from my post. b, 21b, 21that shit really has nothing to do with race, it's all about money. large tech companies that buy up other tech companies love products that cater to niche markets and these dudes clearly know that. they'll definitely cash out big on this.
