The Niggerization of Silicon Valley: Is this a crisis or an opportunity?

  Is this a crisis or opportunity?

Falasha Ali 

The primary goal and objective of the Niggerization of Silicon Valley is to provide the reader with an in-depth analysis of the economic disparities, and systemic racism which continues to plague diverse, minority tech founders in Silicon Valley. 

 

With the exception of micro grants, crowdfunding, and "a get it out the mud bootstrap mentality" diverse, minority founders who possess the intellectual capacity and effectiveness to succeed in the tech industry have very few options.  Many VCs, Angels, and BIG TECH corps suffer from deep reaching "in group bias."  Which means the decision-makers or "check writers"automatically favor those who belong to their group.  Those who look like them.  Talk like them.  Act like them. Think like them.

To go a step further, in Silicon Valley, "white makes might, and if you ain't white you ain't right!  As a result, of deeply entrenched "cognitive dissonance" which has lead to "cognitive bias", rarely do diverse, minority founders receive adequate amounts of capital to scale or deliver innovative tech products to the marketplace.  

 

German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer believed, "All truth passes through three stages.  First, it is ridiculed.  Second, it is violently opposed.  Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.  The ongoing economic oppression, and institutional racism taking place in Silicon Valley is "self-evident."

 

 Every since the Middle Passage, America's predatory nature has been in constant conflict with the "African scattering" (aka Diaspora), as well as the "day-to-day survival" of Indigenous Peoples, all over the planet.  For centuries, on American soil, and abroad, there has been an "unwritten rule of law", whereas, "the most brutal, profit-starved, caucazoids are permitted to scrape, scrap, and steal the skin & souls of Black folks.

 

Because of these "historical wrong doings" there is a great karmic, cosmic, and ancestral debt to be paid.  A mountain of debt that must be PAID IN FULL.  Those VCs, Angels, and BIG TECH corps tucked away in cozy Silicon Valley, who "profit from the cheapest labor of Third World countries" or "the millions of Brown & Black families decimated by mass incarceration so our prison convictions can be "re-packaged" as securities and sold on the open market", because of this ongoing oppression, there is a price to pay.  

 

The gatekeepers of Generational White Male Privilege (GWMP) and the "closed economic system" Silicon Valley currently operates under today are no different than those Thick Face-Black Heart, violent perpetrators of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.  These savages posing as Christians, are the architects of Jim Crow, Lynching, Sundown Laws, White mobs who murder, slavery, stolen land from Mexico, legalized rape of "women of color", small pox woven into blankets to kill Native Americans,  Atomic bombs dropped on Japanese women & children, Henrietta Lacks skin cells, stolen for profit, imperialism, colonialism, racism, and The Christian Black Codes of 1724.  We must be honest.  We must ask ourselves, how much has really changed in 300 years?  And furthermore, is this a crisis or an opportunity?
