Soc Network Sites
by Linda Roeder on June 22, 2007

With all the new social networking sites popping up all over the Net on every subject under the sun, I guess sites like these where bound to pop up eventually. Although, I don't really see the purpose of it all.
NiggaSpace is a site for black people. Over 30,000 people have joined NiggaSpace.
On the other side of the racial spectrum is NewSaxon. They dub themselves as "For Whites By Whites". There is even a nazi swastika on the home page.

Thank you for you're opinion. I agree that the NiggaSpace site is not even close to half as bad as the other site. Segregation is a form of racism though. I understand that this is just a site that is geared toward a certain type of person, just like a lot of social networking sites are but when we get into separating people just solely based on color, I thing that's a form of racism, maybe not hatred, but racism all the same.

I see your point. Your right in that sites such as iVillage would fall into the same sort of category. There's nothing on that site saying that whites can't join so you're also right in saying that the site is not racist as such. I certainly don't want to get into an argument about racism, since I personally don't understand the concept myself. Maybe the better word would be segregation, but then that would also relate to sites such as iVillage. The name of the site bothers me, but I suppose I shouldn't let a word bother me.
