QUOTATIONS OF "BLACK"

"Whenever I use BLACK it relates to some history of Africans in that particular place. It’s the idea of the color BLACK as a metaphor, or as a representation of African-Americans. It’s the notion of BLACK- BLACKNESS - and all its other meanings in relation to the history of race..."

- Fred Wilson

"Most of my fortitude to continue doing the work comes from the moral outrage I feel about the injustices that Black people endure disproportionately daily."

- N. Abdul-Wakil

"In the end, what matters is not skin shade but pan-African consciousness. Loving your complexion, your nose, lips, hair length and texture, no matter what the politics or trends decide, and simply be. That's the problem with us (African folks). We're still learning how to love ourselves. So used to glorifying others and putting others first..."

TECHNOLOGY WATCH: Gesture Cube
Hey FAM, This Is Pretty DAMN QOOL!!

Hey FAM,

The Gesture Cube looks ultra-qool. Definitely something you'd see from a futuristic film, yet reality based in 2010.

A little different yet remnants of Microsoft's Surface Computing technology or Oblong's Surface Computing/3D Gesture technology.
