Like a mid-summer gift arriving every Wednesday, it has been a small bit of auditory delight. The first episode, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2016/05/31/479733094/the-code-switch-podcast-episode-1-can-we-talk-about-whiteness\">Can We Talk About Whiteness?\u003c/a>,”\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> made me call up my friends from college to reminisce about reading “What’s in your Knapsack” by Peggy McIntosh. Her voice has a lovely lilt. The podcast was \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">created by a team of talented POCs working at the epicenter of whiteness -- public radio (NPR diversity stats can be seen \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ombudsman/2015/12/15/459707396/nprs-staff-diversity-numbers-updated\">here\u003c/a>, KQED is yet to release theirs).

According to Forbes, sales for the once-beloved doll have steadily declined in recent years, with little sign of improvement. Faced with competition from Hasbro (responsible for those Ana and Elsa dolls many of us can’t seem to escape) and a saturated market, Mattel is having difficulty connecting with young girls -- who are also increasingly ethnically diverse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/03/04/390672196/for-u-s-children-minorities-will-be-the-majority-by-2020-census-says\" target=\"_blank\">2014 Census Bureau\u003c/a> reveals that, by 2020, \"more than half of the nation's children are expected to be part of a minority race or ethnic group.\" It seems Mattel has responded in kind, if the company's decision to mass-produce and distribute DuVernay’s doll is a sign of things ahead. It's a choice in line with a shift in branding for the company at large -- see, for example, Mattel’s recent collaboration with Italian luxury fashion house Moschino, for a promotional ad featuring a multi-ethnic cast and — wait for it — a boy. (It has long been noted that boys play with Barbies, so it looks like Mattel has boarded the train many have been riding for decades.

According to Forbes, sales for the once-beloved doll have steadily declined in recent years, with little sign of improvement. Faced with competition from Hasbro (responsible for those Ana and Elsa dolls many of us can’t seem to escape) and a saturated market, Mattel is having difficulty connecting with young girls -- who are also increasingly ethnically diverse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/03/04/390672196/for-u-s-children-minorities-will-be-the-majority-by-2020-census-says\" target=\"_blank\">2014 Census Bureau\u003c/a> reveals that, by 2020, \"more than half of the nation's children are expected to be part of a minority race or ethnic group.\" It seems Mattel has responded in kind, if the company's decision to mass-produce and distribute DuVernay’s doll is a sign of things ahead. It's a choice in line with a shift in branding for the company at large -- see, for example, Mattel’s recent collaboration with Italian luxury fashion house Moschino, for a promotional ad featuring a multi-ethnic cast and — wait for it — a boy. (It has long been noted that boys play with Barbies, so it looks like Mattel has boarded the train many have been riding for decades.

He’s from the South, he’s not a graduate of a Harvard/Stanford/MIT-type school and he’s black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutton knows he stands out from the usual tech crowd. \u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">“I’m one of that one percent and I’ve been in tech almost my whole life,” he says, referring to a 2011 article that reported only \u003c/span>\u003ca style=\"line-height: 1.5\" href=\"https://www.cbinsights.com/blog/venture-capital-demographics-87-percent-vc-backed-founders-white-asian-teams-raise-largest-funding/\">one percent\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\"> of startup founders are black (versus the 87% that are white). \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">This realization spurred Sutton to move to Silicon Valley and co-found \u003c/span>\u003ca style=\"line-height: 1.5\" href=\"http://www.newmeaccelerator.com/\">NewME Accelerator\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">, one of the few tech incubators catering to underrepresented minorities. He eventually moved on to other startups, including \u003c/span>\u003ca style=\"line-height: 1.5\" href=\"http://buildup.vc/about/\">BuildUp\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">, an organization that helps minority entrepreneurs get their start.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even in the bubble of Silicon Valley, where the myth of meritocracy reigns supreme, the release of diversity numbers by some of the largest tech companies show that there is still much that needs to be done. Women make up \u003ca href=\"http://www.techrepublic.com/article/the-state-of-women-in-technology-15-data-points-you-should-know/\">less than\u003c/a> 30% of the tech workforce, while Blacks and Latinos make up \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/05/29/most-google-employees-are-white-men-where-are-allthewomen/\">around 9%\u003c/a> of employees combined—on a good day.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"At the end of the day, this is about empowering people, educating people, and breaking down barriers of race.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>For Sutton, tackling the issue of diversity in tech is critical for companies not just because it’s the “right” thing to do but for the “future of the product.” His goal is to foster an environment that supports minorities that want to use technology to change the world. “How can we create more successful tech entrepreneurs that look like [me]?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#AABP is just one of many projects Sutton has worked on, making him a kind of veteran that is used to the unpredictability of the fickle startup world. Yet, after creating #AABP and sharing it on the popular site \u003ca href=\"http://www.producthunt.com/\">Product Hunt\u003c/a>, he was surprised by the reaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s been criticism for the app’s use of anonymity on the part of users and responders, questioning who’s really behind the app (Sutton asserts his entire 10-person team is black). Critics have also said that a black person “in tech is not an accurate voice” to answer questions about black people and culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutton is quick to point out that he never claims to be \u003cem>the\u003c/em> voice of black people, just\u003cem> a\u003c/em> voice. Though he acknowledges his upbringing and profession color his opinion, his stance is “Who [can] disqualify me from answering that question because I’m black and I’m in tech?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, so many commenters assumed the app was a bad joke that Product Hunt removed the #AABP \u003ca href=\"https://www.producthunt.com/posts/ask-a-black-person\">post\u003c/a> from the front page with this note:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px\">“[W]e \u003cem>avoid censoring product submissions unless they're a direct attack or extremely offensive to any one person or group of people...[We interpret] this product as a joke, without malicious intent; however, we're seeing enough reports that this has been removed from the front page…\u003c/em>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initially, Sutton had stayed anonymous and briefly considered closing #AABP down due to the negative backlash. However, encouraged by positive feedback from friends and followers, he came forward as the creator of the app and used his \u003ca href=\"http://socialwayne.com/\">blog\u003c/a> to explain what he was trying to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“I felt like [African-Americans were] not always portrayed in a positive, intellectual way [in the media],” Sutton says in response to what motivated him to make this app. He is fearful of how negative representations affect society's idea of black people, how stereotypes left unchecked become a warped version of the truth. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Look no further than \u003cspan class=\"s2\">CNN\u003c/span> to see how implicit racial biases become explicit when covering hot button issues like police shootings. In July, \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2015/07/30/ohio-police-shooting-victim/30872955/\" target=\"_blank\">the news channel juxtaposed\u003c/a> a smiling image of the white cop indicted for murder with a police mugshot of the black victim. This is the kind of thing that Sutton says “hinders trust,\" making it harder for people that wouldn't normally interact on a deep level to come together and have \"positive or intellectual conversations around race that [are] educational and informative.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">Over the past year, news cycles have been dominated with stories of racially charged crimes, particularly those of unarmed black men killed at the hands of police and everyday citizens. While this narrative is sadly nothing new, the response of frustrated citizens has challenged the nation to reconsider how we think and talk about race.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even coffee behemoth Starbucks tried its hand at starting a dialogue with #RaceForward, but their heavy-handed approach left a \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/starbucks-baristas-race-together-campaign-never-found-its-course/2015/03/22/90b2c854-d0d4-11e4-8fce-3941fc548f1c_story.html\">bitter taste\u003c/a>, leaving many unsure of how to start a productive conversation around something so important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this is where Sutton steps in, hoping his app will be the tool people can use to start talking \u003cem>and \u003c/em>listening. Currently, people can read submitted questions on the website through the startup’s Twitter feed or Facebook page. As of now, only the questions are viewable to the public, though Sutton plans on adding a feature that displays answers as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutton is quick to admit his app may not change the world, but believes it's an opportunity to show the world the potential of \"brilliant black minds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutton's simple approach to a complicated issue does seem rather novel. Rather than shy away from hard topics or leave people without a safe space to get valuable information, Sutton wants us to try something different. He wants us to actually ask the uncomfortable questions and listen to what comes next.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Meet Wayne Sutton, the man behind the controversial Anonymously Ask A Black Person app.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1440015430,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":23,"wordCount":1230},"headData":{"title":"Got a Question About Race You're Too Nervous to Ask?

He’s from the South, he’s not a graduate of a Harvard/Stanford/MIT-type school and he’s black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutton knows he stands out from the usual tech crowd. \u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">“I’m one of that one percent and I’ve been in tech almost my whole life,” he says, referring to a 2011 article that reported only \u003c/span>\u003ca style=\"line-height: 1.5\" href=\"https://www.cbinsights.com/blog/venture-capital-demographics-87-percent-vc-backed-founders-white-asian-teams-raise-largest-funding/\">one percent\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\"> of startup founders are black (versus the 87% that are white). \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">This realization spurred Sutton to move to Silicon Valley and co-found \u003c/span>\u003ca style=\"line-height: 1.5\" href=\"http://www.newmeaccelerator.com/\">NewME Accelerator\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">, one of the few tech incubators catering to underrepresented minorities. He eventually moved on to other startups, including \u003c/span>\u003ca style=\"line-height: 1.5\" href=\"http://buildup.vc/about/\">BuildUp\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">, an organization that helps minority entrepreneurs get their start.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even in the bubble of Silicon Valley, where the myth of meritocracy reigns supreme, the release of diversity numbers by some of the largest tech companies show that there is still much that needs to be done. Women make up \u003ca href=\"http://www.techrepublic.com/article/the-state-of-women-in-technology-15-data-points-you-should-know/\">less than\u003c/a> 30% of the tech workforce, while Blacks and Latinos make up \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/05/29/most-google-employees-are-white-men-where-are-allthewomen/\">around 9%\u003c/a> of employees combined—on a good day.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"At the end of the day, this is about empowering people, educating people, and breaking down barriers of race.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>For Sutton, tackling the issue of diversity in tech is critical for companies not just because it’s the “right” thing to do but for the “future of the product.” His goal is to foster an environment that supports minorities that want to use technology to change the world. “How can we create more successful tech entrepreneurs that look like [me]?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#AABP is just one of many projects Sutton has worked on, making him a kind of veteran that is used to the unpredictability of the fickle startup world. Yet, after creating #AABP and sharing it on the popular site \u003ca href=\"http://www.producthunt.com/\">Product Hunt\u003c/a>, he was surprised by the reaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s been criticism for the app’s use of anonymity on the part of users and responders, questioning who’s really behind the app (Sutton asserts his entire 10-person team is black). Critics have also said that a black person “in tech is not an accurate voice” to answer questions about black people and culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutton is quick to point out that he never claims to be \u003cem>the\u003c/em> voice of black people, just\u003cem> a\u003c/em> voice. Though he acknowledges his upbringing and profession color his opinion, his stance is “Who [can] disqualify me from answering that question because I’m black and I’m in tech?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, so many commenters assumed the app was a bad joke that Product Hunt removed the #AABP \u003ca href=\"https://www.producthunt.com/posts/ask-a-black-person\">post\u003c/a> from the front page with this note:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px\">“[W]e \u003cem>avoid censoring product submissions unless they're a direct attack or extremely offensive to any one person or group of people...[We interpret] this product as a joke, without malicious intent; however, we're seeing enough reports that this has been removed from the front page…\u003c/em>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initially, Sutton had stayed anonymous and briefly considered closing #AABP down due to the negative backlash. However, encouraged by positive feedback from friends and followers, he came forward as the creator of the app and used his \u003ca href=\"http://socialwayne.com/\">blog\u003c/a> to explain what he was trying to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“I felt like [African-Americans were] not always portrayed in a positive, intellectual way [in the media],” Sutton says in response to what motivated him to make this app. He is fearful of how negative representations affect society's idea of black people, how stereotypes left unchecked become a warped version of the truth. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Look no further than \u003cspan class=\"s2\">CNN\u003c/span> to see how implicit racial biases become explicit when covering hot button issues like police shootings. In July, \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2015/07/30/ohio-police-shooting-victim/30872955/\" target=\"_blank\">the news channel juxtaposed\u003c/a> a smiling image of the white cop indicted for murder with a police mugshot of the black victim. This is the kind of thing that Sutton says “hinders trust,\" making it harder for people that wouldn't normally interact on a deep level to come together and have \"positive or intellectual conversations around race that [are] educational and informative.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">Over the past year, news cycles have been dominated with stories of racially charged crimes, particularly those of unarmed black men killed at the hands of police and everyday citizens. While this narrative is sadly nothing new, the response of frustrated citizens has challenged the nation to reconsider how we think and talk about race.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even coffee behemoth Starbucks tried its hand at starting a dialogue with #RaceForward, but their heavy-handed approach left a \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/starbucks-baristas-race-together-campaign-never-found-its-course/2015/03/22/90b2c854-d0d4-11e4-8fce-3941fc548f1c_story.html\">bitter taste\u003c/a>, leaving many unsure of how to start a productive conversation around something so important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this is where Sutton steps in, hoping his app will be the tool people can use to start talking \u003cem>and \u003c/em>listening. Currently, people can read submitted questions on the website through the startup’s Twitter feed or Facebook page. As of now, only the questions are viewable to the public, though Sutton plans on adding a feature that displays answers as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutton is quick to admit his app may not change the world, but believes it's an opportunity to show the world the potential of \"brilliant black minds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutton's simple approach to a complicated issue does seem rather novel.
