Racism in Tech
This entire issue is crap.I am a black programmer...I have no college education, came from single family home blah blah womp womp.I have launched 10+ projects for clients this year alone.  I have 1 failed contract where I left because it just didn't work out.When I had success it was not because I was black and when I failed it was not because I was black.  Both when I have succeeded and when I have failed was never been treated like anything but an equal by my peers.I personally thing that the NewMe accelerator is total crap and should not exit.  What strategic advantage comes from going to a "black" incubator?  I dont have a black startup because I dont have all black customers. The one thing this has managed to accomplish is to distract people from finding and solving huge problems and instead focus on some BS issue that has no value.My only advice to "black" and other entrepreneurs is shut up, go code and make something awesome.  The rest will take care of itself.This entire issue is being exploited to get attention for Angela Benton and her new accelerator. I dont think its fair to cast a shadow over the awesome people I have had the opportunity to work with over the last 12 years in this field simply because someone wants to get some press at the expense of others.... now back to coding ...
