That's a good point, Jay. How is it that we're more technically savvy, but we need a crippled — er — enhanced browser to "improve" our experience?

Well said, Prentiss. A browser's just a tool I use to get to the content I want – it isn't the content itself.

The difference, Dame Johnson, is that Black Planet was an online community. Any browser can be used to access any online community, so the question remains why anyone would need a "black" themed browser? It isn't adding anything of value, and based on Karsh's review above (read it if you haven't – it's quite detailed), it actually has more limited functionality than other browsers on the market, which can actually hinder a person's access to the web. Blackbird is purely unnecessary.
