I run a couple sites with the words "black hat" in them one is actually "black hat - white hat".

I got this e-mail a few hours ago:

>>>

I take offense to your racial tones of your site. Why do things have to be black or white? For 800 years black people have fought to have the same freedoms as other americans. <<<

>>> For shits and giggles I reply <<<

Black hat is a common term in the search engine/ webmaster worlds. I'm sure if you were reading on of my blogs or got one of my e-mails that you are a webmaster of some type. I hope it's not a history website or were black people here fighting the native American Indians before the Europeans arrived?

I'll also have a talk with the folks who make the colors. They should probably take those black/yellow/white/tan colors right out so you don't get offended anywhere else.

Regardless while I do appreciate you taking up my bandwidth and now my time, my sites probably aren't for you. My guess is that you are a newer webmaster and may I recommend you to digital point forums? Just do a google search and you will find them. It's the largest webmaster forum on the net.

Good luck.

>>>>>>>>>>>> Would you believe they replied back? <<<<<<<<<

Thank you for the recommendation to digital point. I'll keep an eye out at your blog - lots of intersting stuff there.
