I don't ...I am not Star Jones, Txs 4ur comment! I don't think that the idea was to use Black as a catchall term for folks of color- that was definitely not my understanding when I agreed to participate. The idea was to invite other folks to participate in a multicultural conversation at a Blacks in Tech event. That being said I too think it's fair that the blogger was able to voice her opinion and I thank you for your generous comments regarding my response. Yours in solidarity, KKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184132209889648662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836784807891712416.post-57642416770924642632010-03-14T22:35:20.585-07:002010-03-14T22:35:20.585-07:00ILUVBlackWomen, You ask, "also wasn't it ...ILUVBlackWomen, You ask, "also wasn't it a little weird that the panel was called BlacksinTech if the creator wanted to be diverse which is ok and great. Why not just call it BrowninTech?" To the best of my knowledge, this panel was not called BlacksinTech. This was a BlacksinTech event with a panel which asked for insights from three black, one Latina and one Asian panelists. It's kind of like if Latinos in Social Media has a panel on multiculturalism and asks for someone from the black community to represent on it. Hope that helps to clarify a bit the distinction to the best of my understanding/knowledge. Thanks for your feedback and looking forward to our continuing the conversation on Twitter!KEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184132209889648662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836784807891712416.post-21129168275086781412010-03-14T17:08:58.384-07:002010-03-14T17:08:58.384-07:00This wouldn't have been an issue if the organi...This wouldn't have been an issue if the organizers conceived and marketed the panel with the panelists' diversity in mind. <br /><br />(i.e they could named the panel Humanity in Tech - giggle)<br /><br />The idea that Black should be a considered the ideal catchall term for minorities seems so behind the times and counterproductive for a collective of people who are embracing all the possibilities that technology can offer to anyone.<br /><br />I think it's fair that the blogger was able to voice a valid opinion and I think it's tremendous of you to respond with insight, clarity and awareness.MartiniCocoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509335664000215080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836784807891712416.post-3729820914401562452010-03-14T14:04:57.504-07:002010-03-14T14:04:57.504-07:00Not being there at SXSW and being a follower of bo...Not being there at SXSW and being a follower of both ppl i appreciated your POV and thank you for sharing. I support #LATISM and #BLCK all day long. I wish Black people could see that there is no thing wrong with having an internal discussion and conversation within the Black Community first. Then going outside the community; also wasn't it a little weird that the panel was called BlacksinTech if the creator wanted to be diverse which is ok and great. Why not just call it BrowninTech? Anyways have a great time i am now following you and looking forward to your tweets.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262257792262237305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836784807891712416.post-70434674218724697042010-03-14T14:03:54.920-07:002010-03-14T14:03:54.920-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262257792262237305noreply@blogger.com
