Sounds like Flock and the other ten-billion Firefox knockoff browsers.

Thank God Opera is closed source so I never have to see this shit.

(Shit, naturally, referring to cheap knockoff clones, just to make sure everybody's clear on that)

I use a black Firefox scheme. Does that make me black?

In my opinion this just encourages racism. Is like "We're black, we need to use a browser meant just for us." The guy who did the program really had nothing better to do and the black community should simply ignore it.

What bugs me is how they seem to think that the "African-American community" is so alike that you can not only pack it with bookmarks that are supposedly appealing to them, but that you can also pack it with a search engine that focuses on things that might also be appealing for the "African-American community."

Honestly, this is a very... Questionable thing to do.

Clearly, we need a browser for every skin color, regardless of nationality, which is a real division, unlike race, which is made up and imaginary.

And nationality itself is often blurred. You can live in America and still know all about Canada, for example. :p

Also, white people have a browser now. Or do they?

As long as your skin isn't green, I probably don't have a problem with someone off the bat.

If it is...that's where I draw the line - go back to where you came from.
