Blogs for whites only?!

In reference to the article posted on xxblog.com called “The African American Blogging Thing” available at http://xxblog.com/index.php/archives/2004/08/31/the-african-american-blogging-thing/ :

I don’t understand the actual argument; it seems the author is truly surprised that working-class women and blacks are not online. I know it’s a bit stereotypical, but if you’re trying to examine those in the population that aren’t blogging I think it is as simple as looking at those subcategories of America that have the least amount of time to sit around and blog. The author blames the women and the civil rights movements for the inactivity, when in actuality it is those movements attempting to advance both subgroups that are the only ones helping.

Besides, I do not think it is as detrimental to the general cyber-sphere as the author implies. The internet is still in its infancy and there is plenty of room for growth.
