The valley is about to make more money. Facebook's valuation is said to be $100 billion in the ipo. There's nothing wrong with making money..of course we all want some. The problem is that the overwhelmingly white and some asian demographic of co-founders and engineers set to get a payday was closed to african-americans.
Who's crying!? Definitely not me.
Its not about crying that I know some will argue against this story, but its bigger than that. The closed culture of Silicon Valley makes it exclusive to the wasp culture.
Facebook is on the cusp of creating more billionaires and millionaires who will reach out to more people who look like them.
Its understandable and sad..but it should make the new era of tech entreprenuers understand that in 2012..the Facebook IPO means that its still as 2pac said "a white man's world".
