It's just quite unbelieve-able that I am a black person, I trying to build
a career as a software developer and having a lot of problems with people
online - which is irrevant.

I wrote this code as part of GSoC - which is *not* a job and that means I
own the code I wrote and a bunch of professionals are busy making my life
even more difficult.

I need someone to either give me a reason as to why this patch will not be
merged or may be just clearly state that you will not merging this patch. I
don't need any suggestions.
