You guys saying this is racist. Just look back in the time and will see who's the racist.
Thanks to that, communities aimed to black people has to be created, because there's still racism going on.
I am a Spanish/Italian guy and I am a very brown skin guy, is just my pigmentation.
I had issues finding work because of it. Even being asked if I had my documentation updated or if I was illegal...
So yeah, I take my hat off.
Congrats on the launch guys. Good luck with everything.
Great idea! This community will be so important and useful to so many people. Being able to discuss career and personal growth with true peers makes such a difference. Well done!

“Discrimination based on skin color, also known as colorism or shadeism, is a form of prejudice or discrimination usually from members of the same race in which people are treated differently based on the social implications from cultural meanings attached to skin color.”

Some of these comments are infuriating. I don't have to energy to explain how it's impossible for a black social network to be racist simply because it exists. Congrats and good luck to the Valence Team ✊🏾.

@xstex@nartydev when you have no arguments just ask a question I suppose.
@xstex@nartydev This information is readily available in many forms. Research, don't expect others to do the work for you.

@xstex@ashley_porciuncula1 No? It Is not my product and I do not have to convince myself that it's a good idea, it is something that can justify the fact of closing this community only a group of individuals. This is the kind of information that needs to be repeated, especially since it's a good argument.
