Get the tech no. pull mug.I first heard the hyphenated word, Afro-tech, being used in a song called “Legacy” from Sean Carter’s 13th album (4:44).
In one of his lyrics Jay Z says - “That's major, just like the Negro League.”
Meaning: In the late 1800s, Blacks were not accepted in baseball, which eventually led to the formation of the Negro Leagues in 1887. Many leagues would form and collapse due to attendance issues, but the most reputable league was the Negro American League, which lasted for almost three decades. Even though Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in 1947, these leagues lasted almost two more decades because of racial tension in the United States.(Genius.com)
Then, in a following verse Hov goes on to say - “There was a time America wouldn't let us ball.”
Meaning: Jay Z is creating a connotation between the previous exclusion of black people from American sports, to now the exclusion of black people from the tech world. (Genius.com)
I’d actually go further and say the exclusion of not just black people, but any person who are the consumers using the tech however not being able to profit from having the opportunity to create the tech.

Example:
You: You don’t have socials?
Me: Nope.
You: You a psycho?
Me: Lol, maybe.
You: That creepy ass laugh isn’t helping. Explain yourself?
Me: Look, using that tech is going to get you hurt (and I mean that as a double entendre).
You: How so?
Me: Not only from the amount of time you waste on it, but even to how it makes you feel.
You: Well, I make money off of it. And when I’m not, it’s entertainment.
Me: (Laughing) Okay.
You: I do.
Me: Okay, I get it makes you money. I’m not mad at it, at least you are doing that much.
You: I am.
Me: But you still use “their” platform in hopes to make some money. And “they” sit back and make billions, each and every day.
You: (Pondering)
Me: Mhm, and that profit is made all off of you.
You: Damn, never really thought of it like that.
Me: None of us do. But worst of all, that ain’t even “their” end goal.
You: Wait, what?
Me: But that’s for another time.
You: Fuck, all that tech ain’t worth what it is.
Me: Nope, it ain’t. And on top of that how many of those tech Startup Founders, CEO’s and, or Board Member’s look like us, or come from where we come from?
You: Prolly none.
Me: So, they get you hooked while you like sharing pics, videos, letting your thoughts out in to the world, but really…
You: (Cutting me off)… but really, I’m getting used and being left.
Me: Afro-tech.
You: Well, fuck all that. Imma start something and get them hooked.
Me: Oh really?
You: Yeah, Payback’s a Bi$ch.
Me: (Smiling) Time to ball!
You: You don’t have socials?
Me: Nope.

I contracted Complē-Tech to provide low-voltage systems integration suggestions and support, but wound up being so good, that I was able to take a 3 month vacation and never needed to be bothered until the project was done.

Get the Tech Sexual mug.by Robo-Cop October 26, 2012
Get the High tech Speed Bump mug.Overpaid, glorified baby sitters! Maintain the oil and gas pipelines as they leave producers,down the pipeline, to storage facilities or refineries.

They watch more Netflix and Hulu than any other human being on earth. They usually make more than $40 per hr.
The hardest part of their job is sticking little flags in the ground to mark where their line is, and watch other people dig just to make sure they dont hit their line.(hints the glorified baby sitter!)
These guys are usually married, and have multiple children, because they have enough energy at the end of the day from not doing shit!

Get the Pipeline Tech mug.Can be seen as short for technicality or technical foul. This is when a situation is used against a party that would then indicate the foul play imposed against them. The most common form of “throwing a tech” is when a female still talks to her baby’s father in a romantic or confidential way despite being in a relationship with you being her man in this instance.
This umbrellas all instances of shiest. Can also be restated when someone does something hurtful but makes it as if they did not intent to hurt, embarrass, or mislead you.
