— Jamelle Bouie (@jbouie)Tue, Feb 05 2013 14:44:41 - @jbouie I don't know why, but I do know that I have no education in writing and I started a photocopy zine to break in & got to top.

— jason (@Jason)Tue, Feb 05 2013 14:46:01 - When I came in the game I made my own lane @jbouie -- I didn't wait for a break, I broke the rules. You're underestimating the hustle.

— Sam Biddle (@samfbiddle)Tue, Feb 05 2013 15:37:15- @samfbiddle If you want to break into tech journalism you only need to blog every day for three years. there isn't a race wall in tech.

— jason (@Jason)Tue, Feb 05 2013 16:51:20 - @samfbiddle @Jason @jbouie You get page views by signing up for a Blogger/Tumblr account, writing great content, and marketing it.

— Michael Paul (@mpaul)Tue, Feb 05 2013 15:42:50 - @mpaul @samfbiddle @Jason @jbouie so your premise is that minorities just aren't good at writing great content or marketing it?

— Anil Dash (@anildash)Tue, Feb 05 2013 16:02:56- @Jason @samfbiddle @mpaul @jbouie here's the thing - a person of color is telling you what they experienced. You're saying "No you didn't".
