Upon reading about Black Bird Browser, I was interested to read about the racialization of a web browser. The website is clean and crisp with earthy colors that some might classify as showing African pride.

On the other hand, there is a very thin line that has to be walked between being proud of one's heritage and being racist.

When one is proud of who one is, one is not shy to hear and read about news and discuss issues with others who have a similar background, thus I can see the need for a web browser for the African American community. This blog is created for the same reason, so that I can share experiences and topics of interest to myself, that affect me personally.

On the other hand, who decides what black is? I hear Americans of all races calling President Obama black, when in actual fact he is black and white.

What if there were a white browser, or a yellow or brown one, what would the reaction from the public be?

But mostly, because these narrow categorizations are meant to change and grow organically, race is not a scientific definition, thus who decides what content is black enough? Quickly the browser might become a political battlefield of trying to define the elusive.
