    How do you view this topic?
    I am a very open minded person. That being said, I don't believe in any segregation – black, white or otherwise. I believe in the human race. I feel that people like MLK fought for EQUALITY, not for black people to segregate themselves on their own terms. To me, this kind of stuff goes against that plight. I understand the view point of it's "hard" to find "black" content to a degree, but then again, I think if you searched for "white" content, you may have the exact same problem. There are some who would say that ALL content is geared toward white people, but I disagree. If you take a look at what is popular in our society, that theory is disproved. Hip-hop and PRESIDENT Obama are just a small sample of that. I am white and I love hip-hop (actually gangster rap), donks and Obama. It has nothing to do with me wanting to be black or anything like that. It just so happens that I was lucky enough to be brought up in a time where I was exposed to those things freely and had the right to make the decision to enjoy those things that are generalized to be for black people.

    In the end, I think that it's pretty ridiculous. I am open minded enough to understand the desire for a site like this, but like I said, I think it goes against what some of our great AMERICAN civil rights leader fought for and that is EQUALITY. I think they are being disrespected and their views and plight are being twisted to suit certain people of today.

    P.S. I would be equally upset if there were a site that was blatantly geared toward white people, yellow people or brown people (minus the language barrier aspect).
