Blackbird: Web Browser for African Americans

These people supposedly representing black interests are a major part of what's keeping the stereotypes intact.

So true.

Not only that, but this ignorant idea of adhering to the concept "black culture" is one of the biggest things preventing us as a society from moving forward and into true color-blindness in a racial sense. When you classify a group of people based on how they live and act (culture) and define them based on their outward appearance and skin color (black), THAT PERPETUATES RACISM. Adhering to the idea of "black culture" or "black interests" is self-profiling. When someone else who doesn't look like you then does the same thing to you, it's racism. It's an ignorant double standard at its worst, and it's perpetuating the very problem that it purports to empower people to rise above.

It's when we view skin color as anything more than an a visual identifier that we fail as a society and slide down the slippery slope of racism into the depths of a backward and degenerate world.
