I agree Brad, I returned the favor, thanks! ;)

@ Solacetech...I agree with your 2 points however I do think we African-Americans are making some head headway in the VC world, for instance GlobalGrind.com is partially funded by Accel who also funded Facebook in addition to being funded by Russell Simmons. What is very interesting is the other options African-American start-ups have, I think there may be a type of niche funding for these type of web properties, not necessarily the typical VC route.

Such a vicious cycle.... We won't last too long if we don't: 1)Break into the mainstream so VC's and other companies will work with us. 2) Support each other even if it's not the usual "entertainment site". Black websites has such a huge potential but it seems we are satisfied with making profiles on myspace...imho

Pretty interesting site. I went ahead and gave you a "reaction" (guess that's what they call it haha) so hopefully that helps! I added mine as well, we'll see if I get any traffic from it.

Any free promotion is good promotion in my book!
