Is it Racist that Tech Crunch Founder Says He Doesn’t Know of Any Black Entrepreneurs?
A quack journalist for Tech Crunch Magazine (he also happens to be the founder, Michael Harrington), in an interview with CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, actually had the audacity to say that there are no black entrepreneurs. You can see Soledad’s eyes fall out of her face as this man, who says that he covers the entire technology industry, says that he doesn’t know of any black entrepreneurs because there are none.
This is a great conversation. Some have a tendency to tag every negative comment by an opposite race as being racist comments, so I thought I would bring this conversation to the community and ask this question. What is a racist? Can blacks be racist? Is this man Michael Harrington making a racist comment?
