Robert Scoble is a dumb ass.  He really makes me want to vomit.  He's the kind of guy who drives a hybrid but has a huge energy wasting house full of energy wasting gizmo's and gadgets and flies all over the place burning up jet fuel and using up oxygen spewing his drivel wherever he goes.

What has me so worked up?  His latest diarrhea makes me more nauseous then usual.  He's a white apologist with a huge case of white guilt.  If fact his case of white guilt might just match his over sized house and over sized gut.  Why does he and his ilk insist on making everything about race, class, gender, inclusiveness, etc, etc ad nauseum.  What do you think this accomplishes?  If some stupid white guy talks at your stupid conference instead of some stupid woman/insert other race/class/gender/sexual orientation/planet of origin/blah blah puke.

When you insist upon making everything about class/gender/race it always will be about class, gender and race.  "Well I remember my dad would always remark about class, gender and race and it would make everyone feel really awkward.  Now I feel really awkward about class/gender/race and I don't know why.  Well at least I have 25 years of therapy ahead to figure it out...". 

How about we just talk about tech and solving problems and other things.  It's a simple odds game here.  America is currently majority white so a majority of people in most professions will be white.  This may change in the future and whether it does or not is not really my concern.  But bringing race to the fore front shows that these bed wetting ninnies are way concerned about race.  Perhaps a bit too much.  Kinda like a "heterosexual" named Bubba making a big show about how he'd punch a gay guy if he hit on him.  Then you wonder whats Bubba is hiding?  Is Bubba really insecure about his sexuality?  So is Scoble insecure about his race?  Is this other toad? 

Here's an idea: let's stop making everyone a victim.  Let's stop pointing out how there are a bunch of white people in tech.  Let's stop making everyone uncomfortable about their race/gender/sexual preference/planet of origin and just let people be people. 

By the by, these folks are the same type responsible for those stupid race/gender forms that government is always asking you to fill out for college/mortgages/employment.  I see a point where at least in the U.S. we will have a very blended integrated society where races will start to dissolve (it already has) much as the divisions of religion and country dissolved in a good proportion of the western European immigrants. 

Maybe, just maybe people don't show up because they don't want to be around a bunch of awkward panty-waisted hypocrites.  Maybe, just maybe they are going to show up where they can just be people. 

Live and let live for crying out loud!!
