Start Snitching sparked a nice little debate when he compared Apple Computers newest laptop to the latest offering from Dell Computers. It turns out that you are paying nearly $2000 more dollars to look like a hipster with the pretty Apple laptop.
The question arose why would Apple charge so much for their products when the company boasts of their accessibility and their anti-elitist, anti-monopoly anti-trust operating system. What if Apple set their price points to prevent Coloreds from purchasing their products. Also the fact that they are manufactured in a white casing makes me believe that Apple doesn’t care about Black people.
Sure STEVE JOBS wears a black shirt with his jeans and yeah, the Apple Computer Corp. hire Blacks to drive their parking lot shuttle buses, but where are the Black computer engineers? Where are the Black people working at the Apple retail store?
“Hey STEVE JOBS, how come there are no brothers on the wall?”
Actually, Apple Computers took the lead by using Black people with their iconography. JACKIE ROBINSON was a real winner. Then MicroSoft trumped Apple by buying a shitload of MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. photos, but I suppose Apple deserves some credit for using MALCOLM X. Nahh, they were just being trendy. I guess it must be true what someone overheard JOBS saying…
“All Black people can do for me is buy my iPods and shine my shoes”.
