Blackweb20.com: Was the reason minorities were so late to Facebook was that it was only for white univerisites and colleges first?

Saw this interview from 2007 about Facebook on Black Web 2.0 and it could be right. I mean how many of you our readers, who are mainly African-American, remember hearing about Facebook? Was this social networking site only available to a certain demographic? Facebook was started by Mark Zuckerberg, and from there he implemented the site amongst ivy league universities and colleges, but predominately black schools were left out of that test group. Check out the video and see how the internet can still be segregated even in cyberspace.
