The Thing About Curtiss Pope and AisleFinder and NewMe I Find Very Interesting..
So Angela Benton and her NewMe characters was getting their affirmative action media press on with these tech bloggers like TechCrunch, Scobelizer and ReadWriteWeb. They were even featured on Black in America 2 but I don’t have cable TV in case yall forgot so I haven’t seen it. But I do remember hearing Angela Benton on NPR and she sounded exactly like someone who knows little but presents herself a lot. But the thing we going to talk about today is this one product call AisleFinder that supposed to come out of their camp.
Now Angela Benton and that Black Web 2.0 nonsense had been around for a few years. You kinda know what cats are about when they been around for a few years. For example, you still got a wannabee hustle blogger blogging since the last decade still talking about “chauncey men” in 2012 and any real brotha has to raise eyebrows at that weirdness. And in 2012, you still got Angela Benton and her Black Web 2.0 and NewMe still seeking validation and acceptance from industry bigots.
I really do know and really don’t know where Angela Benton and the rest of those NewMe characters are coming from. I mean, they suck at programming and software development and they really are pathetic and I can say that and they can’t say sh*t about what I said because they do suck. But they craving for all of this attention as some kind of disaffected minority in this tech industry. They trying to go about the tech industry racism by trying to be liked and chosen by the tech bigots so they can say they arrived.
Overall, I believe these NewMe/Black Web 2.0 characters come from the affirmative action/entitlement camp these bigots like to refer to that I didn’t believe existed. I’m from the hood and ain’t nobody gave my Black ass a damn thing and I had to hustle and my family had to hustle to put food on our table. I did not believe there were Black folks who actually thought a bigot was actually going to give them something because of affirmative action laws! So this whole Angela Benton and Black Web 2.0 and NewMe shocked me to believe there are Black people who actually believe in a system of seeking validation and acceptance from others to get themselves ahead.
Here is the part because I want to pimp slap real hard out of this stupid angle Angela Benton and the rest of these sorry but “popular” technology Black faces been trying to push for years. I know many of you brothas and sistas understand but these cats are extremely confused and I don’t understand why they keep asking for validation and acceptance instead of going for theirs even as they stand there suck and kinda stagnant with their silly one trick ponies.
I just want Angela Benton and the rest of these NewMe characters understand there is a big gigantic emerging GDP country out there called India that has software programmers and engineers. I just want them to know in the real world, everybody is chasing after them and understand the reason why:
SUWON, South Korea—Samsung Electronics Co. has long shunned outside help in favor of developing devices on its own.
But as the smartphone market rapidly shifts its emphasis from hardware to software, the Korean manufacturer is realizing it must change its insular corporate culture.
Samsung has begun aggressively hiring foreign software engineers, especially in India, to build up its software prowess and keep pace with the rapid rise of rival Apple Inc. and its popular iPhone.
These Indian developers are not the same bunch from the last decade; they are actually leaders in this technology game right now. They have aggregated talent and they are cheap and they commoditizing the game and this is who the modern world is chasing right now in 2012. The current technology leaders are at more competition with each other than ever before and can give two sh*ts about your NewMe behind because you get a lot of “press” and visibility out there. So understanding what’s real in the global landscape of tech talent, NewMe is a goddamn joke and trying to only look popular instead of actually have something to bring to the table.
Speaking of bringing food to the table, I ran across this AisleFinder thing doing my research on the retail industry several months ago and didn’t care about it too much. However, I want to show you cats exactly how these NewMe Black Web 2.0 cats think and how these technology bigots use these clowns to try to claim they are not racist towards Blacks in the technology industry and press coverage.
Check out, well I don’t need you to waste your time like that but just check out the first few minutes of this video by Robert Scoble, a punk ass bigot his mother (she probably like Black men) should be ashamed of her son in this technology industry:
Robert Scoble puts this absolute embarrassing clown on this video but Robert Scoble bigot ass has never featured a real African-American tech talent and only show tokens like this who got no tech talent or industry experience worth talking about. Oh, sorry for not mentioning this before but this is Curtiss Pope, the CEO of AisleFinder and the guy featured in the video appearing extremely clueless like he been hanging around Angela Benton at Black Web 2.0..oh, I forgot.
As he described in the video about AisleFinder, this is a mobile application that allows shoppers to find items in the store easy and fast. They compile a list of stores and where the items are located in the store. The goal is to help people find products fast and where they located and they want to be featured on Food Network and stuff. But we’ll talk about this stupid dumbass AisleFinder business model and workflow later. What I really want cats to see is the footer section:
Do you notice they crave for media attention and being mentioned in the media? So this footer is the biggest giveaway about Angela Benton, Black Web 2.0 and NewMe and the rest of these characters. If this was a customer-centric web site, then real-world grocery shopping customer or their target demographic could care less about these “technology web sites” being referenced and customers just want to know how to use the application for their benefit. The fact these technology links are in their footer is proof-positive, these Black Web 2.0 and NewMe characters are seeking validation and acceptance from the technology industry, not provide a service to real-world customers.
Okay, about AisleFinder business model, there is nothing to talk about because it’s f*cking stupid. If I want to find something, I’ll ask the people working in the store that stock and arrange the stuff in their own store where it is at. Why would I be walking around a store holding a mobile device in my hand to see what aisle the eggs are at? I bet this dude was actually serious that someone would take this bullsh*t serious and he is right, the tech bigots like Techcrunch and Robert Scoble takes him serious because they always promote sorry ass brothas and sistas like this while trying to suppress real Black talent in this industry.
The second reason why this is stupid is because I realize if he actually done an ounce of research, he would have known every retailer has planograms and data already and can provide this information. Retailers already know their layouts and their layouts have to change for business reasons and that data is already there that AisleFinder is claiming to build up. I already knew he was not sourcing this data from the retailers the first few seconds of Mr. Pope running his mouth. I already figured out this bright character was having cats physically recording and reporting from a mobile the location of stuff in a store in a old-fashion screen scraping method.
So there is nothing to talk about except this topic anymore except to point out the current pathetic state of these fake ass Black tech entrepreneurs trying to make a mockery of real brothas and real sistas with tech talent trying to get their products out. Angela Benton and the rest of the Black Web 2.0 clowns who hang around her are nothing but attention seeking hoes to the game trying to make themselves the victims when they got nothing to offer. And the bigots in the tech media love these mediocre clowns and parade them all around because they want to try to demonstrate why these VC companies don’t invest in Blacks because these Black people don’t know how pathetic they are.
But don’t worry, Dream and Hustle will continue to bring real technology to brothas and sistas so we can use technology to help us in our solutions to create economic empowerment so we can do for self, our people, our community and our future. I have no need to seek validation and acceptance from these tech bigots when I’m working directly with cats all over the world and is one of the top cats in this game. I don’t need to stick my chest out – cats are too damn scared to mention my name because that may want to make you look at my resume and they don’t want you to see that, haha.
But the good thing is, I’m from the West Side of Chicago and currently in Atlanta and know my people and my community and this blog is a testament of that. I don’t seek validation from these punk coward bigots in the technology industry; I work worldwide with global resources to help create solutions we brothas and sistas can apply for ourselves and our own progress. How I get down in this game is how real Black technology brotha or sista should be about if they want to claim that title description and these characters don’t fit that definition.
All I got to say is coming from the Chicago Housing Authority and the West Side of Chicago, I didn’t realize we actually had Black people out there that believed in affirmative action and seeking validation and acceptance from those who don’t like us. All this history of Black entrepreneurs busting their ass for the past 150 years and putting in hard work and you got in 2012, Angela Benton and Black Web 2.0 and NewMe licking bigots booty instead of putting in work like our predecessors – go figure.
And this is from a person who launched Mocha City and your search engine – that didn’t go anywhere. I’m sorry – I was a fan of your site and have been coming for years….but this post is down right hating and being mean.
Do you know Angela and her merits and what she has accomplished? Nope. All you know is that you are mad that it’s not you. You are being rude and tearing down something that is working for some entrepreneurs – who you KNOW wouldn’t have got visibility any other way due to how it is in Silicon Valley for blacks in tech.
Also, tech is more than programming and whatever else you mentioned. It’s the idea, concept and the know how to get the right people in tech categories to help build your company.
So sad that you want to come down on it and make crazy comments about not only NewMe – but come at a young woman? WOW..
I have officially lost respect and I hope you don’t continue to make blanket statements about people because you THINK you know more than them and mad that you never got the chance to say it or present it to the same people NewMe are getting the chance to get in front of.
Get on your dreams and hustle like she did – and stop talking ish about those who are!
Nice to know I brought out the circus clowns.
Number one, I will let yall try to take any shots you can at me or my search engine or MochaSpot all you want but remember this – it was a real business and operated like one and did transactions like one.
Number two, LOL…my Liquiditi Beverage soda stand I did last year probably generated more money and customers than you or any of you clowns pretending you some “Black in technology” genre.
Number three, you been at this blog all this time and this is the first time I heard of you? So, you been sitting at your computer instead of helping legitimate people looking for information, you just been sitting there and i’m supposed to have respect for whatever you got to say? Man, this is pure comedy gold right here.
Real talk, go look at yourself…notice no resume, notice not one damn blog entry on how to actually program anything. Even further like you said, notice not one damn article/video/conference/slide show on business models. But I swear you cats got a mouth on you, got a lot of photos of you Black tech cornballs hanging out together but come on, where’s the real beef at?
To actually try to lecture this right here when i actually created specific code on this blog to do everything from money transfers to SMS web services, when i actually cover business models that actual Black people actually got up and running in real life, when I actually host events and answer people questions about specific tech questions is about funnier than you showing up all of a sudden with comments on this blog!
Yall are a straight piece of work, you know that right? All these Black people looking for information to get out of their situation and I felt like I’m the only one providing and now I expose this cornball and his Aislefinder and that Angela Benton character and now yall come out of the woodpile?
Here the funny part, I don’t even know yall but at least yall know me and MochaSpot which tells me yall the ones who tracking me, lol!
Hi. I don’t know you and clearly you don’t really know me and I’m not going to go back and forth on a comment debate. But I disagree with some of things you mention in this article which includes my name. Feel free to call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx if you would like to have a conversation about it.
Wayne,
In all due respect, for my audience, I have to cover geo-location next week, cover enterprise service bus next week and show how to create a kiosk that post pictures to Facebook they can resell. Tonight and this weekend, I’m moving our Business Model Wikipedia to a new location to allow our people to contribute business models and experiences so we can start businesses ASAP.
In all due respect, I really ain’t got time for all that stuff yall about where you just want to talk intellectual talking points. I don’t appreciate that none of you are coming around until now when you perceive something negative.
This is just one article, we exposed this guy and his extremely flawed and unrealistic model and how these technology bigots paraded him around but ignore legitimate Black tech entrepreneurs on a daily basis. As far as I’m concerned, several people led by Angela Benton purposely lend themselves out as tokens for these technology bigots to make them appear special while the tech industry continue to discriminate against Black tech entrepreneurs on a wholesale basis.
I will just say this about being in Atlanta – a lot of civil rights activists, a lot of Black politicians and a lot of tinkering garage tech entrepreneurs do not appreciate what yall doing and how yall positioned yourselves when we are gearing up to go to full scale battle with the Venture Capital industry about their practices against African-American tech entrepreneurs.
You can say what you want but some people are out there getting theirs and nothing comes to blacks who haven’t earned it in some way or the other.
Media is a machine not a meritocracy, you either crack the machine code or you don’t. The good thing about NewME is that they are using media to spread the word farther than anyone else has in california that is much needed.
What minorities cite as barriers to entry to becoming an entrepreneur most is access to information and mentors to show them the way, that means we need more capable people everywhere who have skill, connections and who are accessible. Whether you are a woman, Latino or African descent, this message is critical to spread to connect those skilled entrepreneurs who can serve as a beacon for those who aspire.
And for the record Curtiss is smart, helpful, supportive, and active in the startup scene regardless of his race or others. I met him at a hackathon and that to me says he is a living, breathing example of sweat equity and startup community support. Dragging that brothers name into a muddy dialog is just plain wrong.
I understand you see these folks as competition, or somehow making your job harder however try to use those bitter coals to stoke your flame to be better, stronger, inspire people more, and set a higher baseline for achievement rather than marr the images that are inspiring others.
Peace
Ayori,
Real talk, who are you guys and what rock did yall crawl under? Yall sound and speak so disconnected from reality it’s embarrassing. Does Northern California has something to do with it?
You know what the funny part is? You guys always running your mouth and group up defending your “Black technology clique” but you damn sure will never present yourself in any Black forum in any Black community or any minority community because you know real brothas and sistas will see through all of your fake behinds in 5 minutes.
Damn, at least put up a YouTube video and run your mouth and we see you but yall just write a lot and hope that written propaganda work somewhere. Or maybe you will be exposed like Mr. Pope here or maybe like Angela Benton the more she run her mouth. The truth is, you guys are really trying to talk to these bigots trying to impress them and pretending you lecturing me. But you know real world, I can give two sh*ts about what you say or think but let’s just entertain this whole worthless conversation.
This dude was getting a lot of publicity on a business model that is obviously bullsh*t in theory and execution and came out of that NewMe setup. I watched the video above and it gets worse and worse. You cannot excuse this AisleFinder and this Mr. Pope crap.
In fact, it appears to me you and your “Black technology clique” ilk are more embarrassed that someone is able to see through all of your stupid shit and call you out on it. Like I told Mr. Pope and I will tell you and anybody else coming through here – step your f*cking game up before running your mouth and realize it’s hard to be fake when there are real cats in the game who don’t need to whore for media attention..
You fake clowns are on borrowed time and only as good until someone with real technology talent enter the fray and realize they are too empowered to lick booty and bow down like the rest of you cats. And you best believe every day you lay your phony behind to sleep, me and my crew is burning the midnight to make those kind of people…
Ed,
Why are you so angry, these brothas are doing their best, why not email them and offer advice…why attack them?
Here we go again…noirvda…sigh….
Everytime…I mean everytime..this is the stuff yall post up…
You always respond with the I’m mad and angry – I’m the one making moves and clearly have direction in my life and my hustle but somehow, I’m angry…yall be making me laugh at that one.
Second, then you say I’m “hating” or “jealous” and that is the most ignorant thing a person can say. I don’t know if this is a deflective statement to avoid any facts but I hear this 2nd statement as a response lot from people who tend to be the last one aware they are mediocre.
Third, you want to say why don’t I help them instead of go after these people? Now noirvda you seriously missed the point here. You cannot help people like this Mr. Pope character because they are driven by their own personal ego and pride, a serious problem we have little progress in the Black community.
The true problem here is none of any of you are dealing with the core issue – this character got a ignorant business model that is extremely flawed and unlikely to have any wings and have serious legal issues of gathering proprietary information from private enterprises without their permission.
He is not the subject here, he is just an example of a bigger issue – they, meaning these bigots promote these mediocre characters and give them all the exposure in the world. The Republicans do this all the time putting crackpot Black folks on display, the media puts self-hating rappers on the radio and the Venture Capital industry put people like Mr. Pope on display. And all of these Black people allow themselves to be tokens because they personally seek the attention and recognition.
One more thing noirvda, it does not escape me to see you show up to this blog posting a comment about this trite matter and not on any other positive/progressive posts published here recently.
I am not “affiliated” with Dream and Hustle and I think this stuff is poppycock. Who is looking down at a phone, potentially passing up the item they want only to be navigated to it again. Oh let’s not forget random workers on the floor who provide directions and those amazing signs that tells me Aisle 7 features spices, sugar and what not. Seriously come harder. This information is not useful. Most folks shop at the same store and if not the points mentioned above will help. This guy is so full of himself that he will not hear otherwise. I am disgusted. Why defend them? Idolatry? Shame on you.
As they keep posting these comments just remember the one thing that was written in this article:
“Dream and Hustle will continue to bring real technology to brothas and sistas so we can use technology to help us in our solutions to create economic empowerment so we can do for self, our people, our community and our future.”
Not going to let these characters sidetrack us either. They mad because President Obama signed the Jobs Act and they know damn well ain’t no crowd is going to fund that bullshit they trying to push up in media but can’t take to real people.
Been following this article, and I agree with Ed.. this app is “meh”. This is an intro to app making class project. Who is the target audience ? And how is it better than just looking up at the signs above the aisle?..and NO ONE has come here to defend it.. if a white person wrote this article, it would be considered “constructive “.. but its hate if ed says it?.. smh.. if your business model is hot, and can make money, then it shouldn’t matter if you are black, right? And if that concept is correct, then put my idea up against theirs. Why do I have to compete with my people to get “their” money. Or even better, can we funnel our money and build from within?
I come from the blessed rock that kings and queens are cut from. You talk a lot of smack. You remind me of crab in a barrel all by himself. I’m gonna pray for you though. Peace!
One last comment because if this dude has any influence over any black community he is certainly steering it all wrong.
God blessed the child that’s got his own, but you are referring to people who have their own as tokens which reinforces the racism that is already perpetuating the that is holding our people back from uniting.
You should read some passages of Solomon, you need to wise up.
So who do you work for? I mean that question in the deepest sense cause you sound like you work for Willie Lynch.
I know a lame duck when I see one.
Stop steering people in the wrong direction, the children are watching.
God bless you
So now we quoting bibles and Willie Lynch now? Why you forgot to include crab in the barrel while you were at it?
Now I got to laugh because you and your crew are concerned I actually have some kind of influence. You obviously are the clueless one if you didn’t know who I was. The real question is who you thought you was when you came here trying to lecture.
Y’all dealing with real Black folks here, proceed carefully…
Oh my fault- I didn’t see your other comment where you did mention crab in the barrel! LOL!
i ride with you ED,wish i was in atl to build with you
brooklyn
Aislefinder is more of a GitHub open source community project than a true model to build a business on in my opinion. Who knows where it would really go if it was truly VC backed but as Ed mentioned this can have real legal implications so I don’t see any VCs dropping any major paper. At the end of the day I’m not going to knock a black man in the tech game even if they aren’t polished, so everybody do them and let’s build.
@KD,
One of the things Black people who really want to go places is to learn to see politics at play. And when we are Black, realize there are racial politics at play. Your comments does not acknowledge the racial politics at play here and this character voluntary participation.
I’m not making up nothing new, you can go back and look at interviews of any Black entrepreneur or anybody who was a pioneer in their field and they will recognize actually what is going on here.
Did you realize when Trayvon Martin got shot, there was this character named Joe Oliver who automatically showed up and presented himself as the “Black friend” before being confronted and exposed? You do realize someone orchestrated that whole thing, right? That’s the politics at play you failing to realize here.
This guy is a joke and the bigots in the technology sector knows it. They love to push guys out in the forefront like this and this guy loves the attention. However, when someone with real talent comes along, these bigots will claim they are not racist and pull out this joker and then this joker wanting the attention end up defending the bigots.
This is the oldest racial politic trick in the book, so please let’s not muddy this up with empathy for this guy – he is fully aware of his role as well as that Angela Benton character as they are seeking attention and recognition more than anything.
I respect your opinion about not knocking these other cats but me and my people are elders in this game and we will knock their ass out the way because we smart enough to see these characters take advantage of a systematic issue against African-Americans and try to see how they can get something out of it instead of work to resolve the issue and do the right thing and do right by their people.
And one thing to anybody else out there – don’t compare this POS to real-world Black entreprenuers who better have a good idea or they will lose the house and have nothing to eat if it don’t make money.
Anybody who is really an entrepreneur and really hungry and truly out there to stack paper and do for self knowing what is at stake if they lose would have never risked one second on this dumbass idea.
Hi Ed,
I think you make some good points. I can’t altogether be hard on Mr. Pope given the mountains of weak ideas that have been funded in the valley. I can’t blame the man for trying. And it seems as though he has learned from his experience and created a product that looks alot more marketable and useful (supermarketapi.com).
Your point about being a willing token hit home. I hope that Mr. Pope in the future will focus less on racial politics/commentary and more on executing his business plan and raising funding.
Also, if you look at the other entrepreneurs on the same youtube channel, there are lots of questionable/weak tech ideas featured. So, at least on that interview, I don’t think Mr. Pope is being tokenized. Some of the linked articles on the aislefinder page are a different story, though.
Caged Lion,
I can write a lot but I will just state the obvious. What do you think is easier:
(a) trying to impress people who don’t like us or don’t need us and expect them to give us something if we convince them to like just some of us?
(b) create basic frameworks in the sectors of mobile money, new media and social networks to fulfill technology needs for emerging nations who for some reason, happen to admire and like us.
Curtiss Pope and the rest of his ilk is chasing option A and they strongly believe option A will work. And they do not take what they do serious because they believe all they have to do is be liked to get somewhere.
However Option B not only take advantage of us being Black and admired by a billion plus customer base, but we must be best in class like Muhammad Ali was best in class. This option does not require any of us to appear in any video and we will know instantly the people don’t like our business model and force us to correct until we get it right.
Had Curtiss Pope or the rest of NewMe been real entrepreneurs and not focused on Option A so much, he would have made self-corrective actions a long time ago.
This is nothing new, I been telling these same group of characters since 2007 this same story and they still want to go down the path of being tech socialites and be liked by Silicon Valley instead of putting in real work, bet the farm on it and reap the rewards of doing for self in a self-empowered fashion.
But last and not least – we African-Americans are getting our butts kicked by Indian, East European and Chinese programmers and even African programmers – this is a real fight going on in 2012.
I don’t know what planet these NewMe people are living on still trying to be liked by Silicon Valley in this globally competitively environment. Notice none of them even talk outside of Silicon Valley, much less any other parts of the world.
I will say this. Here are the facts
1.) I get exposure because I actually go and approach these folks, talk with them , networked and even had a few laughs with them and the like so that I can give my company, and all my employees the best chance for people to know about what we are doing. That is the nature of any business: to get exposure.
2.) I don’t feel EXPOSED, paraded or whatever you think. You didn’t do your homework by researching Angela ,Wayne or myself and now people are calling you out, because ultimately you dont have a clue of what you are talking about,and Knowingly LYING to your audience.
3.) I personally help entrepreneurs all the time, Wayne and Angela are very accessible to me and other entrepreneurs who are not even in the NewMe Program. I put my PERSONAL phone number on my Facebook,Twitter,and Website just so that I can encourage these types of interactions. I love startups and the people that start them. Next week I am having breakfast with 10 startups from Japan and Russia(Courtesy of Microsoft). when was the last time YOU did that?
4.) I am a developer as well as a designer. Every line of code and pixel drawn on AisleFinder, and my second and just as successful startup SupermarketAPI came from my hands. I didnt use wordpress or starter code (much like this blog), I like the craftsmanship of building something from scratch.Your claims that I am not anything but a person in the media are untrue,and baseless.
In Silicon Valley we are all uplifting each other and encouraging each other when things get really tough(and they do).
We are not better than anyone. And just like those who would inflict prejudice or preconceived notions upon us , you say hurtful things,and knowingly LIE to people who read this blog of yours just because we worked hard to get people to pay attention to what we are doing.
1) Exposure? Who gives a f*ck about exposure over here? We about money over here, not exposure. Remember, you step in an arena full of real Black folks, not industry beotches looking for “exposure”….
2) What kind of homework does one need to do about you on video talking about you talk to store managers and shit for your whack ass AisleFinder crap? Isn’t that you running your mouth in the video above? That’s all the “homework” a cat need – everytime I play that video it gets worse and worse when I realize the stupid ish you actually said.
3) Show and tell, homey, show and tell on that….
4) If you were a real developer or designer as much as you claim you are, your ass would have saw flaws in your whole f*cking blueprint from the beginning and would have never released this bullshit. Don’t come at a pro like me talking about you a fucking developer or a designer..you a fucking joke and a real professional is telling you that. I got little kids overseas that can whip up ish better than this.
No, in Silicon Valley, yall licking straight booty over there. I used to live over there smarty pants – you got to be f*cking kidding me that you actually want going to say some ish like that to us East Side cats over here.
Yeah, you damn right you ain’t better than anyone and that’s the damn point. You ain’t better than the Indian developers, you ain’t better than the Chinese developers, you ain’t even better than the African developers. So if you ain’t good, then who the fuck you, Angela Benton and the rest of you characters supposed to be to the game again?
Thought so…
“Next week I am having breakfast with 10 startups from Japan and Russia(Courtesy of Microsoft). when was the last time YOU did that?”
Dear Dream and Hustle readers…don’t laugh, please…don’t laugh…
I’m going to make it clear – it is apparent these guys are seeking “exposure” and trying to make themselves important without any substance to bring to the table.
They trying to do this crap under a “Black identity” which is even worse because they are not even trying to be the best like if they want to represent Black people.
They will not prevail and me and my crew already got them defeated because even these Black Web 2.0 fools know who I am and my skills and they don’t know how the rest of my people got skills either.
You got my promise directly from me, I’m doing this for the young brothas and sistas so we can do for self and our communities using technology for economic development. We got the whole world to take over and in all honestly, people like Curtiss Pope, Angela Benton and all those Black Web 2.0 are a joke and beneath me.
These clowns will never sit next to me in any forum because they know I will destroy their fake charade. Also, the minute I show my face, the whole tech industry around the world will vouch for me and know who I am – that’s why they don’t mention me. But they are on borrowed time because sleeping giants don’t sleep forever…
