I have been reading @1938media's twits on twitter off and on because @netdoc66 alerted me to something about him and @1938media's humor did not make me laugh. It is offensive to me. (I am not linking to @1938media - google search him. Sorry but I don't want bad karma over here. I deal with enough racism on the net as it is)
Thank you to @koa for brining the Verizon situation to my attention today. I had NO CLUE and I am glad Verizon took what they felt were the precautions to prevent them losing customers like myself.

1. and the least important, tasteless video by a white guy, not the first, won't be the last
2. when Fortune 500's speak, people listen, money driven society, culture, what does that say about us
3. Black tech folks are seemingly not being seen, heard or valued in or out of the 2.0 community
4. for all of the blogging, tweeting, uttering, etc., we're only talking to ourselves
5. for all Black folks have accomplished, we are still sensitive to how others portray us, what does that say about us
6. when did hip hop culture become mainstream; when did the gangsta "look" become "the" image of Black America
Some thoughts for us to consider. Peace.
