Good article. I wonder is the problem really centered on the number of black people in tech, though? My impression is taht a lot of VC people have finance backgrounds, and finance is historically not very diverse either. Another way to come at the question might be to acknowledge that there are some heavyweight black investors, but they invest in other areas likes arts and sport where African-Americans have enjoyed more opportunities (and the investors have greater insight into the risks and payoffs of those particular markets than they might into others).
