Blacks Against Hypocrisy --Internet Time bomb

(Read Blacks Against Hypocrisy post and click on comment to respond)

You have probably noticed the design changes undertaken by Blacks Against Hypocrisy.  We have also made changes in our editorial focus.  We now are taking a serious look at the most critical issue facing the economic future of African-Americans ... that is the Time Bomb known as the Internet.   --Blacks Against Hypocrisy editorial staff. 


We notice there is a conference titled "Black Folks Guide to Making Big Money on the Internet Online Conference 2009".  It takes place in August 28th 2009 ... and they are charging $375 to attend.  WHERE is anybodies guess.  Maybe the folks who set it up assume everything takes place in New York City ... who knows the logic.  But we can't find the location anywhere.  If you know where this is taking place please let us all know. 

We found the conference on something called  PR.com.  Some kind of press release service.  We at Blacks Against Hypocrisy have more than a passing interest in press release services.  The flaws are often so obvious one contributor decided to create his own site highlighted by an easy-to use-template specially targeted for Black groups.     http://hickmantemplates.revealmediagroup.com.  

Perhaps someone out there in cyberspace will let us know if this conference is worth the ink.  Perhaps it means that Blacks are sensitive to Hypocrisy in New Media.  That the Internet Time bomb we describe below is not going un-noticed.

Hidden beneath today's disturbing economic news is the hidden hypocrisy time bomb known as the Internet. Blacks know it has created a culture of products and services FOR FREE !   

Newsrooms on buyout status know full well how sites like Craigslist have killed ad revenue for a dying breed of journalism.  The travel industry lost franchises when scheduling a flight went online.  Any car dealers left should be against the internet trend because they will have to deal with websites that put them on bypass.  

Blacks Against Hypocrisy believes the brunt of this digital dislocation will fall on the backs of minorities.  BAH ! suspects education and brute sweat won't be the gold standard when any kid with a computer and a garage can create and destroy whole  industries. You can even get your masters online bypassing brick and mortar universities.  

Somehow in the rush to fix the banks, and automakers ... there needs to be regulatory reform aimed at taming the Wild Wild West known as the Internet.  Blacks aren't against the Internet ... many are simply not allowed to be part of it.     

Can we get a witness ?
