@nex3, I think you've made your point with the BLM banner now.
When I went on to the Sass site, I literally thought the site had been hacked or something, because the banner just seems so woefully out of place. I see from previous discussions on this matter that you are not listening to a single point anyone has made about this.
Just as a point of clarification: is this your personal web site, or is this a collaborative documentation site for a web technology?
There are almost 8 billion people on Earth; African Americans stand at about 40 million, or 0.5% of the world population. I think everyone understands that you feel very strongly about BLM as a concept, and I doubt anyone on here disagrees about the most fundamental aims of BLM.
If Sass is a technology aimed at the whole world, instead of just a small segment of that world, then your choice of political messaging – at all – in a US-centric manner, seems ironically biased and exclusionary. By your own logic, you are excluding the struggles and problems of 99.5% of the world by focusing on just one problem, for one group of people.
That's the problem of getting into politics where it doesn't actually have any relevance: you cannot defend why you are picking one cause over another, because there are too many to pick from. BLM plays no direct role in anything going on in Sass, nor does any other political issue.
The great promise of technology is that it can be politically neutral, that is, open to anyone and everyone, no matter who they are or where they come from. You are doing a great disservice to reverse that promise in your self-described aim to divide up people based on various innate characteristics and pitting them against each other, promoting one cause for one group exclusively.
Therefore I would respectfully ask you to consider opening your perspective outside a US-centric point of view and place the focus of this site back on the technology that we are all here to collaborate on and develop together, regardless of our background.
