People have to do their own research.

Do you know how much work Darial Clewis [A BLACK MAN] has been putting in since early 2017?



Do you know his religion?


Do you know how much of his Family's saving that he invested in Blaqspot? Do you know the amount of push back he's gotten from white supremacists?



If you don't see any value of Blaqspot, being a Black Owned company that is creating safe spaces, for Black People to exchange ideas, network with each other, and express themselves. Then exit the thread.

Invest your time in something more constructive.


I hope breh succeeds but folks gotta understand crowd funding is not a business model. That video was painful. Every black business can't be run as a charity and expect black folks to donate to keep them in business.

Bullshyt tirade?

It seems like you already know you fukked up asking the question in the first place :ufdup:.

You already know the answer don't you. Malcolm X and plenty of others have discussed how important media is and you want to play dumb now?

You don't see the value in us having our own media unless you personally get a paycheck or some shyt?

I don't understand your question.

You should've left it alone after "bullshyt tirade." That's how you know you're speaking to a potential enemy. Just move away from that type

ANYWAY.

Blaqspot TV still taking donations. Site needs more content creators.

Thinking about doing a Abolitionist show / broadcast going over stories related to 21 century slavery.

Something that needs to be talked about daily until the 13th Amendment exception clause is gone.

I just don't have space in my home though.

But Blackjunction TV also needs more content creators.

We have to focus on the Black content creators who have large audiences to leave Youtube.

It sounds easy but alot of people comfortable with getting treated like shyt on Youtube.

Lol I'm not an enemy

The "bullshyt tirade" caught my attention too, but I certainly hope not Brother cause we have more than enough enemies. And if not an enemy then we gotta learn to speak more respectfully to one another, especially on issues dealing with our folk. I gotta get better about that too because I'm just as guilty.

I will ask about that.

The Grapvine needs to be on BlaqspotTV and BlackjunctionTV

It's only a matter of time before white trolls start to flag their videos... :francis:

Do they have a system for keeping white people off the site, or at least marginalize their participation?

That's one thing I admired about st0rmfr0nt: it was by whites for whites, but they have one section Blacks and others could post in but that was only after you were cleared to post, which took time, and back then your every post was moderated before it could be seen and that took time.

I know because I registered to ask their members a question, but I was so heavily moderated I said fukk it.

Sorry, I kind of cant.

I used to...but then I saw failure after failure after failure of this exact same business model and I began to wonder whether or not creating a race-specific closed social network is the way to go about doing this

Sure, I'm being critical, but thats because these networks have come and gone without taking off and things are starting to seem a little contrived

Sorry to come in here and ruin the circlejerk, I'm just tired of seeing the same old black owned ______ for black people with the word "black" in the name.

Do better, involve everyone and be creative. This shyt is played out
I understand your viewpoint and resentment towards for us by us apps and sites. We tend to be way more critical towards our own shyt than others in terms of functionality, accessibility, viability etc.

As a app creator, I hope the best for almost everything that makes it out of their alpha stage. I know the mountain they have to climb :salute:

They get blocked and deleted. I seen it happen quickly.

White trolls get dealt with quick.

The hackers are a whole other problem though...White people so miserable when they find out we don't want to fukk with them on ANY level.

I'm an app dev too bruh that's why I say that

People think I'm criticizing because I want it to fail, no. I'm saying this because I see a huge graveyard of apps like this, where the people put in all this time and work, just to come to the conclusion that you know, maybe it's not the best idea to narrow your potential consumer audience, especially down to a specific race, and then it's a social network on top of that so you're gonna constantly need funding...i just feel like this is a mistake we should be learning from not doing over and over again

This isn't me being critical toward something cuz it's black owned either but white people aren't making that mistake :heh:

You freelance? I might have something down the pipe if I can get this artist on board with me. We can make some shyt :patrice: Every time I mention collaboration, people back off :mjlol: I end up using reddit for coders.

But yeah, I agree with what you're saying. You can start off at a deficit unless you have an established FINANCIALLY SUPPORTIVE base to begin with.

That said, I'll probably donate to show some support.
