could there also be browsers for different sexual orientations?

I find the notion of 'their' culture and 'their' interests as a way of focusing a browser interesting. As a gay man who doesn't much care for dance music or Will and Grace or the notion of exclusively gay social events, I shudder to think what a gay browser would be like…

Why do people worry about such things? We are all human and it does not matter if we are black, white, Asian or "other". People would comment if I said "Holy cow" shut up…if you have nothing nice to say, then don't speak. If you're ignorant…learn where holy cow was derived. I like my dog more than most people…he/she will never judge me,steal from me,cheat on me,lie to me…Our four children have learned that racism is not acceptable…perhaps the rest of the world should learn that too.

I think a web-site posted on a common browser would be more suitable. I think it is a good idea to have help to explore any topic more indepth but browser's might not let the average person post anything of interest to the group…is that right?

all the people raging about racism – i am black from the Caribbean,, and no, I dont feel i have a heck of a lot in common generally with the black American, yet I would welcome such a browswer for finding items that are specific to that community. I homeschool my son for example, it would be nice to be able to find some 'history' for example that properly reflects 'black inventions, achievements, etc. – not just the 'white point of view'. Whites don't need special browsers since most things are designed by them, for them with mostly their interests in mind. There are so many special interest sites, Im not sure what the big deal it. You can always use other browswers just like u do now. No one limits themselves to one browser do they? Why do whites always get so 'nervous' at any inclination of blacks to 'unite'. Are u afraid of something. Othere groups do it, no one forces anyone to use these services, but it is always good to have a choice – thats what its about – choice. Certainly their intention is not as it is for White websites like Stormfront – very racist site. so yes white sites do exist, guys. A Caribbean black woman

I just made a comment above but now that I have read some of the other comments above I would like to add to my argument:
I am glad that some are hearing my point, but to the user that commented under the name "Black Guy," I would like to say it is time to forgive and forget my friend.. I am not sure under what rock you have been living.. since you were born but there has already been much recognition to that fact. The oppression is over and you personally didn't feel it. So what exactly is it that makes you feel oppressed now? Is it watching the coloured actors on tv? the schools and things like Black browsers, (and what some may not know of, a certain restaurant that caters only to blacks in the USA?) Is that it? Think of those who were oppressed and never got recognition of that fact, such as the Georgians(middle eastern) in the past and in recent events still by Russia. That is but one example. Black people were not the only ones oppressed so how long is that going to be brooded over? I have personally have a WHITE family member that by chance went to the only school in her area at the time, just for blacks, and the last white boy to leave that school was beaten senseless.

Now consider again… Many people have been oppressed, not only the blacks and yet they have been able to forgive and forget and think about something else for a change. The fact remains that a white person could not open a white browser. Is this not oppression if a browser for blacks can exist. IT"S YOUR TURN.

to query: …a thought… racism is now going against white people. Those who are white have less advantages then those who are of colour…

please explain how!
